Amy Schumer isn’t one to shy away from sharing the raw details—and her memories of filming with John Cena for Trainwreck are no exception.
The comedian got up close and personal with WWE star John Cena in the 2015 rom-com, where Cena played Steven, a muscular gym addict and one of Amy’s many flings before she falls for the film’s leading man.
The scene between them didn’t hold back—and neither does Amy when she talks about it.
During an appearance on an Australian chat show The Project, Amy was asked how she kept a straight face during the racy bedroom scene. Her response? “Because he was actually inside me. Who am I to stop him?”
Bill Hader, who also starred in the film, chimed in at the time: “Wrestlers, they’re not faking. When they’re wrestlers they don’t fake!” Amy added: “It’s real.”
Schumer had nothing but awe—and a little disbelief—about Cena’s physique. “It’s a whole universe, that butt… it’s not even human. It felt like having a refrigerator on top of me.”
She continued: “I think it was probably harder for him. He had to, like, do something. I just did what I usually do when I have sex. Just lay there.”
And then came the punchline: “You know what? I didn’t get to feel his balls. It’s a major regret of mine. Major regret.”
Cena Says It Was as Awkward as It Looked
John Cena himself described the scene quite differently when asked about it. Speaking on Conan in 2015, he admitted: “It was awkward. And they wanted awkward so we gave them awkward.”
He wasn’t even sure he’d land the role in the first place. “Honestly I didn’t think I’d get the part. And I kept putting it off not telling [wife Nicole Bella] and not having the discussion of, ‘Hey there may be some graphic scenes.’”
In a separate interview with Fox News, he said: “It was uncomfortable. I never thought I would get the part in the first place. Then I got the part and was thinking I have to be naked. It was nerve wracking.
“Nicole had every right to be upset because I didn’t tell her about it at first. I never really approached her with ‘I’m trying to do this thing.’ Nicole had every right to be mad because I should have told her from the beginning.”
