John Cena Had To Be Taught How To Rip A Bong For ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2, ‘I Had No F*cking Clue What I Was Doing’

John Cena adds a valuable skill to his arsenal.
The first episode of ‘Peacemaker’ season two features a scene where Peacemaker (John Cena) rips a bong and does cocaine at a huge nude party after getting into an argument with Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland). This scene also features Cena taking part in a bisexual orgy.
This scene caused a bit of a stir online, especially after Cena’s appearance on the Peacemaker podcast, where he revealed that he was taught how to rip a bong for the scene.
“They had to teach me how to do a bong rip. I’m like, ‘Hey, how do you use this thing?’ It was like, alright, whatever. I’m like, ‘No, I want to make it look like he smokes weed, how do you use this thing?’ The prop people had to come over and be like, ‘Okay, this is how you do it. If you ever need another lesson, after hours, we’re good.’ I think the biggest thing was people genuinely thinking I knew my way around a bong and then realizing that I had no fucking clue what I was doing.”
Watching @johncena try to fake doing drugs was probably the funniest behind-the-scenes of the first episode. Watch the new episode of @dcPeacemaker on @HBOMax and watch the Official #Peacemaker Podcast right after!
