Last week, PWTorch.com was granted exclusive access to John Cena's "Men's Fitness" interview before it hit newsstands today. Following is our exclusive report from March 11.

John Cena shot down rumors of him using steroids to bulk up in WWE by saying he trains harder than anyone else on the roster. Cena's statement will be in the April issue of Men's Fitness magazine.

"Train with me for just a week, and you'll see that I'm the guy who drives 250 miles between shows but will be at the gym tomorrow at 10 a.m. when most people are still sleeping in," Cena said in response to rumors of steroid use. "I'm the guy who'll fly to Australia, find a gym, fly back, and the first thing I do off the plane is work out, before I even shower or eat. I've made a living out of working hard."

PWTorch.com was granted an exclusive look at the cover story interview with Cena, which will be made available on March 16. Cena also discusses his character on TV. He says it's not different from his real-life personality.

"You hear a lot of people in our business say, 'Oh, the character you see on TV is me with the volume turned up.' What you see is me, 100 percent," Cena said. "That's who I am at home. That's how I am here."

Cena said in a 2005 interview with Men's Fitness that he has no desire to pursue another career after WWE. Nothing has changed four years later, says Cena.

"When you hear the opening roar of the crowd, you'll understand why," Cena said. "I certainly don't want to be one of those guys who can't let go. I think, hopefully, knock on wood, it'll be for quite some time."

Related to the upcoming "12 Rounds" movie, director Renny Harlin is very complimentary of Cena in the Men's Fitness article. He says Cena is the next action star Hollywood is looking for.

"He's intelligent, he's funny, and more invested than anyone I've worked with," Harlin said. "I don't know if it comes with his physicality, but he has such confidence in himself, definitely not to be confused with cockiness. I truly feel he's a new movie star, a new action star, which Hollywood desperately needs."
