It’s safe to say John Cena’s recent hair transplant came as a surprise to Frank Grillo, his Peacemaker costar. In fact, TMZ broke the news to Grillo during a chance encounter at LAX, and the actor was absolutely floored by the revelation.
When Grillo — best known for his role as Rick Flag Sr. in Peacemaker — was asked about Cena’s decision to undergo a hair transplant, he was taken aback. The Purge franchise star initially didn’t believe our cameras when they reported the news, suspecting it might have been an early April Fool’s prank. He jokingly told us he’d reserve judgment until he could confirm that Cena’s new look was real.

It seems the shock wasn’t just for Grillo, as Cena himself made it clear that his decision to address his bald spot was prompted by bullying from wrestling fans after WrestleMania. Cena opened up about the change, revealing that he was finally pushed to confront his hairline after years of teasing from his passionate WWE audience.
Despite the surprising news, Grillo didn’t hesitate to talk about his own hair. The actor proudly proclaimed that his “lettuce” — a nod to his thick, natural head of hair — was entirely “homegrown.” Looks like Cena might have some hair-growing advice to catch up on the next time they cross paths.

In a fun twist, Cena himself explained that the decision to address his bald spot came after years of teasing from WWE fans. He admitted that their comments ultimately pushed him to take action and undergo the life-changing hair procedure.
But don’t expect this news to slow down Cena’s wrestling or acting career. Grillo quipped that Cena might be facing him in a future fight — after all, Cena might be sporting a new look, but Grillo is still keeping his natural hair intact.
