In an exclusive interview with People, WWE Superstar John Cena announced that he was engaging in a new partnership with Neutrogena promoting a new sun care campaign.

As part of the ‘Sunscreen You Can’t See’ campaign, Cena is hoping to promote the importance of sun safety alongside dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon Dr. Neera Nathan.

While the campaign makes sense with Cena’s “You can’t see me” catchphrase, this partnership with Neutrogena has also led to the 16-time world champion revealing that he had previously been diagnosed with skin cancer.

“I was stubborn,” Cena said. “I didn’t want to have a routine and I also thought the problem would never reach me. And it’s one of those things where I had a ton of exposure with minimal protection and it caught up with me.”

“It wasn’t until I went to a dermatologist and got a skin checkup and had a cancerous spot removed from my right pec.” His dermatologist then urged him to return immediately.

“I was very lucky to have a great dermatologist who kind of, I guess for lack of a better term, held me by the hand and let me know that I wasn’t alone,” Cena continued. “The stats on this are overwhelming, but as much as I learn about them, those numbers don’t mean anything.”

“I think the best way to hammer home a point is human-to-human connection. And I as a human can tell you: Man, that phone call’s not what you want to get because it is unpredictable and you don’t know how bad it’s going to be.”

Cena then revealed that you could actually go back to some of his older WWE appearances and actually see “a white polka dot on the side of my chest and on my shoulder.”

After some coaching from his dermatologist and focusing on his mantra, “How can we be better today than we were yesterday?”, Cena wanted to make sure that he made steps toward being healthier with his skincare management. And it seems he succeeded.

“I’m at a great space in my life where that’s now important to me,” Cena said. “And I’m so grateful to be able to dodge those two bullets, but I wear them as a reminder of, ‘Hey man, you need to take the extra few seconds to protect yourself every day.'”
