Amy Schumer Jokes About Filming Steamy Scene With John Cena in Trainwreck
Comedian Amy Schumer stirred up laughter again as she reflected on her famously awkward bedroom scene with John Cena in the 2015 romantic comedy Trainwreck.
In the film, Schumer plays a woman wary of commitment who gets involved with Cena’s character, Steven—a high-energy gym fanatic with a heart of gold and a very muscular frame.
Schumer, never one to hold back, joked during a past interview that Cena’s physique felt overwhelming during the scene: “That butt is a universe of its own… It didn’t even feel human. I swear it was like having a refrigerator on top of me.” She added with her signature self-deprecating humor, “I think he had the harder job. He had to do stuff. I just laid there—pretty on brand for me!”
Cena, for his part, acknowledged the hilarious discomfort behind the scene during a 2015 appearance on Conan. “They wanted it to be as awkward as possible,” he explained. “So that’s exactly what we gave them.” Speaking on Club Shay Shay, he admitted the set was anything but private: “Catering was five feet away, the sound crew was right there. Not exactly romantic.”
Schumer later took to Instagram to respond in jest: “That scene meant a lot to me. I was really feeling it… and I’m in love with you.”
While both stars were clearly in on the joke, the moment remains one of the most talked-about—and hilariously awkward—scenes in recent rom-com history.
