Meta to launch AI chatbot featuring celebrity voices, including WWE Superstar
Meta is gearing up to reintroduce its AI chatbot with a star-studded twist. According to an exclusive report from Reuters, the tech giant has struck deals with major celebrities to lend their voices to the chatbot, including WWE legend John Cena. Other stars who have agreed to provide their voices include Judi Dench, Kristen Bell, Awkwafina, and Keegan-Michael Key.
Fans of Cena will soon hear the 16-time World Champion's iconic voice as one of the options for Meta’s AI assistant. The official announcement is expected during the Meta Connect 2024 event, where the company will unveil the new feature, allowing users to personalize their AI assistants with celebrity voices across apps like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The chatbot feature will first be available in the U.S. and other English-speaking regions. This move follows earlier reports from Bloomberg, hinting at Meta’s discussions with high-profile personalities for its AI projects, which now seem to have materialized.
Along with the AI chatbot announcement, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, recently posted a teaser on Instagram for the Ray-Ban Meta smart eyewear line, which stars Benson Boone, Matthew Vaughn, and John Cena. The business may introduce its first augmented reality glasses at the Meta Connect 2024 conference, which is anticipated to delve deeper into these smart spectacles.
In the meantime, John Cena's return to the ring at WrestleMania 41 in April 2025 is something that WWE fans are anticipating. As of the end of 2025, Cena has stated that this will be his last appearance at WrestleMania, bringing an end to his wrestling career
