John Cena has fulfilled the wishes of 650 kids with critical illnesses who wanted to meet him, a world record for the most wishes fulfilled through the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Guinness World Records confirmed the news last week, USA Today reports, and it's the record by a long shot: No one else has granted more than 200 wishes. The wrestler-turned-actor granted his first wish through the foundation in 2002, and is now the most-wished-for celebrity among children who make wishes through the foundation, CNN reports.
