The origins of John Cenas "U Can't See Me" hand gesture

[Breh Obama]

Cena visited The Graham Norton Show to hype his blockbuster movie Bumblebee as he follows in the Rock’s Hollywood footsteps. The topic of ‘U can’t C me’ was broached. Cena revealed that it came about as a dare from his little brother.

“I was actually making the music for my own theme song that you just so heard and finally serenaded me to, thank you very much. We played it for my brother. The first time he heard it, 50 Cent’s crew had a really popular song called, “In Da Club,” and he heard it the first time and instead of dancing, like he was our litmus test to see what songs were good and what songs were bad, he did this.” (Cena bopped his head with his still hand in front of his face.)

“I’m like, “Dude, what are you doing?” He’s like, “Nah, everybody does this man, everybody does this.” And I guess this is from 50 Cent’s video. He’s like, “You won’t do it on TV.” What the hell do I got to lose? What are they going to do, fire me? Of course, I’ll do it on TV. But instead of doing this (still hand), I do this (the hand movement that we know today). And now for fifteen years, because of a dare, I’ve been doing this (hand movement). And I’ll do you one better: People actually think I’m invisible.”

when Cena started doin' it I used to cause I figured the 'In Da Club' video was where he musta got it from... it's the super-quick moment near the end, but for some reason it stood out.

[DamienWayne]

Funny he didn’t even know where it was from originally, thought he was a hip hop fan

He's a fair skinned rapper from the suburbs who utilized every bit of the culture to elevate his status then conveniently turned in his "black card" when he made it big.......


Of course he is :bookah:
