The comedic genius, Amy Schumer, couldn’t resist cracking a cheeky joke regarding her on-screen intimacy with John Cena in the 2015 film Trainwreck.
If you haven’t seen it yet, catch a glimpse of the trailer here:
When she’s not under fire for alleged joke theft, Schumer is known for her bold humor, like playfully suggesting that during the filming of a s=x scene, her Trainwreck co-star Cena was ‘inside’ her.
Of course, we assume she was just kidding.
In the movie, Schumer portrays the character of Amy, a carefree partygoer, while Cena takes on the role of Steven, a fitness enthusiast.
The IMDb summary describes the plot as follows: “A commitment-phobic career woman, who never believed in monogamy, might have to confront her fears when she encounters a decent man.”
During an interview on an Australian talk show, Schumer candidly shared her experience filming the ‘intimate bedroom scene’ with the WWE star, maintaining her signature candidness.
When questioned about how she managed to keep a straight face and the number of takes required for the scene, Schumer quipped, “Because he was actually inside me.”
She humorously added, “Who am I to stop him?”
Bill Hader, also present during the interview, chimed in by noting, “Wrestlers don’t fake it.
When they’re wrestlers, it’s real,” to which Schumer concurred, saying, “It’s real.”
Given Schumer’s multifaceted talents as a comedian, actor, writer, and director, and the enthusiastic response from the studio audience and fellow guests, it’s safe to assume that Schumer’s remarks were meant in jest.
Regardless of whether it was a joke or not, it probably wasn’t the most pleasant news for Cena’s wife to hear Schumer joking about being intimate with her husband, even if it was all part of the act.
Cena later disclosed his wife’s reaction upon learning about the scene during an interview with Fox News.
Reflecting on the experience, Cena admitted, “Yeah, 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 n^ked.
It was nerve-racking.”
He praised Schumer for her professionalism and humor, mentioning, “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.”
