Watch John Cena get drenched in fake armpit sweat for The Suicide Squad

In a recent video posted on Twitter, the film's director, James Gunn, showed how the WWE superstar, John Cena, needed help getting his armpits looking less tidy by misting them with fake sweat. The director even joked that "on most movies, makeup artists are constantly dabbing the sweat off of actors," which is actually true.

Of course, The Suicide Squad is not most movies. It sees a ragtag bunch of villains-for-hire doing battle against a giant starfish, among others, on the fictional island of Corto Maltese.

According to James, the staff had to "constantly keep the actors sweated up and dirty," which makes sense considering the climate of the film's setting.

Speaking of the video, as you can see from the original Tweet linked above, Cena is holding his arms outward as the staff works hard to make him look like he's sweating through his shirt. You can clearly see the staff also dabbing John's forehead with the same fake sweat to complete the look.

Having said that, John Cena seems to be having a lot of fun filming The Suicide Squad, and it's probably not just because he's being misted to make him look all sweaty and drenched.

Just in case you didn't know, The WWE superstar has also signed on to return as the Peacemaker and star in his TV show on HBO Max. According to Gunn, Peacemaker already finished production for its first season earlier this month. Here's hoping that its success will lead to a sequel.
