Idris Elba and John Cena Debate Worst Jobs: Chauffering, Sex Toy Warehouse and More

The 'Heads of State' stars reflected on "traumatic" gigs on 'GOAT Talk.'

John Cena and Idris Elba shed light on their worst past jobs during the latest installment of Complex's GOAT Talk.

Around the 13:30 minute mark of the video above, the Heads of State costars reflected on their pre-acting gigs, one of which Elba called "traumatic." For Cena, his worst was chauffeuring, which was surprising as he confessed to "love driving."

"It was my first time coming out of a small town. So think about if someone was from a small coastal town in England and then they got a job driving in London," he explained, adding that it was somewhere around 1996 or 1997. "So, paper map, and I was doing natural bodybuilding at the time."

Because Cena traveled with his food in a "small Sedan" the odor was overpowering and smelled like "tuna fish and chicken" whenever he drove.

Elba's experience was probably worse, as the English actor worked in a "warehouse that delivered sex toys" to online buyers.

"It was traumatic," he continued.

"You worked with a bunch of dicks? Bunch of assholes," Cena cracked.

But their 'WOAT' experiences weren't all that Cena and Elba discussed: the costars shared some of their 'GOAT' moments, like greatest Suicide Squad characters and their personal favorite rap verses.
