John Cena addresses being filmed respectfully telling a fan to leave him alone

Lots of people want to meet him, but he'd like you to remember something important

John Cena has addressed being filmed in public by fans and said how he tries to deal with it.

There are so many times when footage of someone trying to film Cena is told politely but firmly to put the camera away and stop bothering him.

He's regularly been praised for the respectful way he gets the message across that he'd like not to be filmed, and more often than not it seems to work and ensure everyone comes away well.

A lot of the time he's just getting on with his business when someone realises they're standing right next to Cena.

The wrestling star has occasionally addressed the encounters where he tells fans to put the cameras away, and in a recent appearance on the Impaulsive podcast he was asked about it.

Chatting with hosts Logan Paul and Mike Majlak about the times he gets people coming up and filming him, he explained what he's thinking when he tells fans to leave him alone.

He said: "I am big on hard work, loyalty and respect. Also accountability.

"Man it's tough when you get emotional about something, it's tough to make sense of it all and I'm not at all perfect, but again try to be who you say you are.

"I also try to have more empathy every day, I understand 'hey if this video makes it, I'm on easy street' but in the realm of having empathy, what about me? I'm just trying to buy my coffee.

"I just try to handle those things one at a time and not let my emotions completely dominate the situation. It's impossible to bat 1,000."

Cena said he tried to act with empathy and be the person he said he was in interactions with fans.

Cena also said his goal in those encounters was not 'to win the situation', but instead to act in a way that's true himself.

The wrestling star did say that 'everyone has their line' but he tried to be 'understanding of everyone who asks'.

"I keep a pretty small footprint and I'm invisible," Cena joked before saying there were a few places he felt safe and wanted to be comfortable.

One of the common threads in the encounters where Cena wants someone to stop filming him is when they started without his permission.

There are times when he's told people filming him to 'treat people with respect' while attempting to shut down the encounter and explain that he doesn't want you to just whip out your camera and get some footage.
