DaillyMail.com reports his wife Shay Shariatzadeh joined him on set.
Cena is starring in a Peter Farrelly-directed comedy with the working title “Ricky Stanicky,” which also stars Zac Efron and William H. Macy. The movie is about a group of high school boys who burn down a house and blame a fictional man named Ricky Stanicky. Ricky becomes their alibi throughout their lives, and when their wives decide to set up a meeting with Stanicky, they hire an actor to play him.
