John Cena & Jessica Biel: Matchbox, Stunt Fears & Why London Food Is Great

In this episode of The Romesh Ranganathan Show, Romesh is joined by Jessica Biel and John Cena to talk about their new action-comedy Matchbox: The Movie, streaming now on Apple TV.

They discuss the stunts that terrified them, the realities of driving a car next to a man hanging underneath a moving truck, and the art of staying funny when you’re meant to be the straight man.

They also get into their very different approaches to Halloween, John’s hip hop career, and why London’s food scene deserves more credit than it gets.

Plus, there’s a question from Shanthi, a game of Misquoted featuring an unexpected movement, and some surprisingly good advice to finish.
