American actor and WWE superstar John Cena has set a new record for the most wishes granted through the Make-A-Wish Foundation with 650.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation helps fulfill the wishes of children who have been diagnosed with a critical illness. As the most wished-for celebrity, nobody else has ever granted more than 200 wishes in the 42-year existence of Make-A-Wish.

Targeting children between the age of 2 and 18, they can choose to meet a celebrity, go to an event or even give a gift to someone else, and were "thrilled" to honor Cena as the man who has fulfilled the most wishes.

"If you ever need me for this ever, I don't care what I'm doing, I will drop what I'm doing and be involved because I think that's the coolest thing," Cena said in an interview after being honored for 500 wishes granted. "I just drop everything, [and] if I can offer a fantastic experience, I'll be first in line to do my part."

Cena began his career in professional wrestling back in 1999 and has since gone on to become one of the most popular athletes of all time; he is a 16-time world champion in WWE.

A crowd favorite character and the face for WWE's "Be a Star" anti-bullying campaign, he granted his first wish for the Foundation in 2002. In 2012, Cena granted Make-A-Wish's 1000th wish to a fan named Cardon.

Once receiving the opportunity to meet Cena, children take photos and hang out with their favorite wrestler and sometimes even venture inside the ring.

Cena is usually accompanied by one of his championship belts: he has held the WWE Championship 13 separate times, and often lets the kids try it on.
