Dan Burn’s past 24 hours have been nothing short of eventful, from helping Newcastle United inch closer to Champions League football to receiving praise from WWE legend John Cena. The 31-year-old, who scored in Thursday’s victory over Brighton, was commended by Cena for his choice of car – a Smart car – despite being one of the Premier League’s tallest players at 6ft 7in. Cena, who is currently promoting his latest film Fast X, applauded Burn in a video shared by Newcastle’s official Twitter account, calling his decision to drive a Smart car a “conscious effort to make a statement”. Football fans were left stunned by the unexpected crossover between the two stars.
