I bet you didn’t expect you’d seeJohn Cenain the upcomingBarbiemovie.
On theTodayshow to promoteFast X,John shared the moment he landed a role in the newMargot Robbiemovie as a “happy accident.”
“I thinkBarbieandFast Xshare a lot of parallels. Their cast lists are amazing. TheBarbiecast is amazing,” he said. “So, with a lot of opportunity, it was a chance for maybe to, ‘Hey, would you guys be willing to have me if I could do something?'”
He explained toHoda Kotbthat he “kind of” pitched himself, and it’s pretty hilarious. “In an accidental run-in withMargot Robbie, I said, ‘I will pretty much do whatever you guys need, ‘cause I really enjoy the movie.'”
“And they asked me if I wanted to be a merman. I said yeah, sure,” John explained.
Of course, John and Margot also both know each other and are friends, as the two worked together on 2021’sThe Suicide Squad.
