John Cena has revealed how WWE fans pushed him into getting a hair transplant.
The hugely popular star is a record 17-time WWE world champion and is currently taking part in his retirement tour.
Fans noticed Cena’s hair loss and pointed it out to him through signs.
The 48-year-old underwent a hair transplant last November and is pleased with the results.
Speaking to People Magazine, Cena said: ‘When I’m trying to hide my hair loss the audience is just bringing it to light, like ‘you’re going bald’. I used it as a thing of the point of the story we were in just because I also want the audience to know I see your signs, the one that says ‘Bald John Cena’, I get it but I also know it’s something I’m going through.
‘I want to be genuine with that audience letting me know, either do some work or shave your head. They pushed me into going to see what my options were. I ended up getting a transplant last November and the crazy thing I came back I came back for the retirement tour starting in January.
