WWE hero John Cena has been talking about fantasy wrestling as his new film 12 Rounds hits the big screen.

It sees the 32-year-old go from the ring to Hollywood, playing Detective Danny Fisher in the action-adventure movie.

Irish actor Aidan Gillen stars as criminal mastermind Miles Jackson who kidnaps Det Fisher's sweetheart Molly Porter, played by Ashley Scott, in revenge for the death of his own girlfriend.

Det Fisher is then forced into 12 rounds of dangerous games as the clock ticks.

The action takes place on the streets of the famous city which was devastated in August 2005 by Hurricane Katrina.

The movie is out on Friday, May 22.
