    John Cena called out a fan for filming him without permission

    The WWE legend turned Hollywood actor was in New York City for Fanatics Fest over the weekend, and as he was walking around what appears to be the backstage area of the convention, he noticed someone who filmed their interaction while asking for a photo


    After posing for a selfie with the man, Cena went back and looking right at the camera - which appeared to be a smart glasses device - and told TikTok user @theoriginalityshow: "I'm a big fan of consent, right, so if you would like to take a video [please ask]."

    The social media user apologised for the faux pas, but continued filming as Cena returned and to say "sorry" for his own reaction.

    The Heads of State star said: "I'm sorry for walking away from you. I just [felt] like I was in a tough situation. I just know it's kind of chaos back here."

    The pair can be seen shaking hands following the exchange, as Cena added: "It's all good. I'll give you whatever you want as long as you ask."

    At the end of the clip, Kevin Hart approached Cena and joked: "Please, I don't want anything, just sign this!"

    The TikTok user shared footage of the entire exchange with his followers, and referenced the incident in the caption.

    He wrote: "Met @John Cena and accidentally crossed a boundary. He called it out, walked away... then came back and apologized for how he handled it.

    "Mad respect. Sometimes it's not about being

    perfect, it's about accountability.

    Real one."

    In the comments, many fans defended Cena for the way he handled the situation.

    One fan wrote: "He is so respectful that he came and apologized for being nice while saying no. He truly is a class act."

    Another person said: "What respectful person to come back and apologize because he didn't think he handled the situation to his liking. It takes a real man to do that. W John Cena (sic)"
