John Cenarevealed his favorite Netflix show.
The actor and retired pro wrestler recently caught up with PEOPLE exclusively during the Netflix Upfronts at Pier59 Studios in New York City. During the conversation, PEOPLE asked Cena, 49, if he has a “guilty pleasure” on the streaming giant.
“Loves me some secret millionaire,” he shared, referring to the showMillion Dollar Secret,an elimination game in which 12 contestants must compete to figure out which one of them is in possession of $1 million.
The contestant with the money gets to keep it — but only if they can avoid being identified and eliminated by the other players.
“I think it's a sleeper,” Cena added. “Folks should check it out. I love the show.”
The star even said he's crossing his fingers for “a cameo of some sorts in the future,” on the series.
Pivoting to his own projects, theSuicide Squadactor opened up about his upcoming film, the Netflix comedyLittle Brother,which he stars in alongside comedianEric André.
“I'm a huge fan of theEric Andre Show.I have not laughed out loud so much [for] as long as I can remember,” he said, referring to Andre's talk show series on Adult Swim.
“And when I read the script [forLittle Brother], it's absolutely for Eric, and he just kind of needed a sounding board for his jokes, and I am happy to be that sounding board,” he continued.
Cena went on to sing the 43-year-old comedian's praises.

“His courage is relentless, and his mind is always working,” he told PEOPLE, adding that working with André reminded him of working with WWE stars.
“I always love being around talented comedians because everyone — I always compare everything to WWE — it's very much likebeing around WWE superstars,” he explained.
Cena continued, “There's no wrong way to do our business. And everyone has a different recipe, and comedians see it the same way. There's no real wrong way to do comedy, and everybody kind of has a different perspective.”
“Eric is — it's hard to compare him with anyone else. And like I said, he's not so risk averse. He's crazy, but so thoughtful, and his mind is always working, and it's just awesome to see,” he added.
“It was a bunch of fun,” the star continued.
