Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 13:14 · Archive

The Apprentice star Thomas Skinner met former WWE champion John Cena to promote Matchbox: The Movie on Apple TV.

The Apprentice star Thomas Skinner, an Essex businessman, met former WWE champion and Hollywood actor John Cena during promotional activity for Cena's latest film. 'Matchbox: The Movie' was released on Apple TV on the day of their meeting.

Skinner shared a video of the encounter on social media, describing the experience as an 'absolute pleasure' and calling Cena a 'true gent'. He praised Cena's inspiring words during their time together.

During the meeting, Skinner asked Cena for advice for people 'having a tough time'. Cena responded with a philosophical message, saying 'The powerful play goes on and you get to contribute a verse. In short, you are alive, and it will turn.' He encouraged people to look at life with gratitude rather than nihilism, and to recognise that difficult times can be turned around.

Cena further advised: 'The gratitude to say I'm alive, and take even the toughest times if you get to turn that ship around. So just you opening your eyes, it's a good day.' The pair ended the video by shouting Skinner's trademark catchphrase, 'BOSH'.

The meeting was part of a promotional partnership for the film, with Cena appearing live on Skinner's Whatnot channel to discuss 'Matchbox: The Movie' and participate in a series of giveaways.
