In a humorous twist, Amy Schumer recently shared a playful joke about her co-star John Cena from their collaboration on the film Trainwreck back in 2015.
The comedy star portrayed Amy, a character navigating her way through relationships before finding her ideal partner, while Cena took on the role of gym enthusiast Stephen.
During a particularly steamy scene in the movie, Schumer and Cena bared it all, leading to some interesting insights from the pair regarding their on-screen chemistry.
Cena’s daring performance involved him nearly going full-frontal, covered only by a modest towel.
Schumer revealed on an Australian talk show how she managed to keep a straight face during the intimate scene, teasing, “Because he was actually inside me.
Who am I to stop him?”
Of course, her comment was all in good fun, with co-star Bill Hader chiming in about wrestlers not holding back in their performances.
Reflecting on Cena’s physique, Schumer humorously expressed her awe, describing his body as beyond human, akin to a solid mass like a refrigerator resting upon her.
She quipped about her lack of tactile exploration during the scene, lamenting not being able to feel his, well, private parts – a light-hearted regret she shared.
Cena, on the other hand, admitted feeling the awkwardness of the situation during a discussion on Conan in 2015.
He confessed that the scene was deliberately crafted to evoke discomfort, which both actors delivered convincingly, drawing upon the inherent awkwardness of the scenario.
Recalling his reservations about the role, Cena candidly shared his apprehension about the graphic scenes and the challenge of broaching the topic with his wife, Nicole Bella.
He acknowledged his oversight in not disclosing the details to her promptly, recognizing her valid concerns and potential displeasure at being kept in the dark.
Despite the initial discomfort and nerves surrounding the scene, Cena emphasized his surprise at landing the role and the subsequent demands it placed on him as an actor.
His candid reflections shed light on the behind-the-scenes dynamics of filming such intense sequences and the personal challenges he faced.
