John Cena talks about his two hair transplants: Totally changed my life
Los Angeles, July 27
Hollywood star John Cena has spoken about his new shaved hairstyle, which he said is going "great" following his second round of hair-loss treatment.
"The objective is to get more hair, and this was the best way to do it, talking with Ken Anderson, my doctor over there," he said, gesturing to his doctor nearby. "I love the guy. He's totally changed my life."
According to Cena, he was so impressed with the doctor, that he returned 15 months after his first procedure for a follow-up, reports people.com.
"I went back to him like, 'Man, you did great. I have this one small, small, small spot. Can you do it?' " Cena recalled.
"He's like, 'I can. My best results are - if you're bold enough to shave your head, I can keep the follicles.' "
Cena shared that his doctor can more quickly plant hair follicles during surgery if a patient has a shaved head.
"My first operation was 13 and a half hours. The second one was eight hours," the Peacemaker star said, calling his doctor "a master."
"And I'm rocking this hair thing with the promise that he's working," he added of his shaved look. "I have full trust and faith in him with this process."
Cena has previously been candid about his hair restoration journey.
Cena wrestled for WWE for 24 years, becoming a record-setting 17-time world champion, before transitioning fully into his acting career.
He stepped into acting in 2006 and received praise for his roles in Trainwreck, Blockers, and The Suicide Squad. He has also starred in films such as The Marine, Bumblebee and F9. He played the titular role in the superhero series Peacemaker.
Cena's most recent release is Little Brother, which also stars Eric André, Michelle Monaghan, and Christopher Meloni.

It's refreshing to see a Hollywood star talk so openly about hair loss. So many men in our country suffer in silence with baldness and low self-esteem. If John Cena can admit to needing help, why can't we normalize it here? 🙌
Fair play to him for being transparent. But honestly, I think he looked fine with less hair too. In our obsession with looks, we forget that bald can be a powerful look - just look at our own actors like Shah Rukh Khan or Nana Patekar. Still, his money, his choice.
The guy's a 17-time WWE champion, has millions in the bank, and still worries about hair? Must be nice to have those problems. Meanwhile, we're here worrying about inflation and traffic jams. 😂 But good for him I guess.
Interesting how he calls the doctor 'a master' - that kind of loyalty and trust is rare in any profession. I just hope more men don't feel pressured to undergo expensive procedures because of societal pressure. Confidence comes from within, not from follicles! ✨
Okay but can we talk about how he came back for a second round 15 months later? That's dedication! In India, people are skeptical about hair transplants because of cost and results. But with advancements, it's become quite effective. Maybe it's time we drop the stigma.
