I think we can all agree that John Cena is easily one of Hollywood's kindest and most genuine stars and a lot of people can attest to that. So it's almost hard to imagine the WWE icon being involved in a scandalous ordeal, let alone having a real-life beef with someone but apparently, even the most likable guy in Tinseltown once had issues with his colleagues.

Star Wars voice actor Freddie Prinze Jr. recalls a heated altercation with the Peacemaker star when he was still serving as one of the members of WWE's creative team. The argument become too serious in a hurry that it nearly went physical, with Cena allegedly threatening to hit Prinze with a folding chair — you know, the same steel chairs they use for those hardcore matches.

The altercation took place during an acting class and Prinze recounted on his Wrestling With Freddie podcast: "And in the middle of this class, this scene, John just swings open the door, grabs a folding chair that we were all sitting in, sets it down in between Hawkins and Ryder, and sits in it and just looks at me like ‘What are you gonna do?’"

The Scooby-Doo star added: "And in my head I’m just like ‘What the?! Why would you make this about you man, like why wouldn’t you wait until after this, like why would you interrupt this?’ And I get answers to this in a moment, but I don’t say anything, I just go ‘Hey man, you wanna talk to me outside?’"

Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed in the end and both Prinze and Cena hashed things out right there and then.
