John Cena jokes about the difficulties of sharing his date of birth with John Oliver

The Hollywood Reporter

As Cena pointed out on Last Week Tonight, he and Oliver share the same birthday: April 23, 1977. "Do you know what it is like living in someone's shadow? John Oliver said he thinks of me every birthday now — I have thought about John Oliver for 44 years," Cena joked on The Late Show. "I think this is a psychological warfare tactic by my parents. I try so hard to get my own identity, and just around April 20, I feel pretty good about myself — and then on April 23, I am reminded that I am never, ever possibly going to do anything better than the existence of John Oliver."
