Amy Schumer brought laughs with her candid humor when she joked about filming a steamy scene with John Cena in the 2015 comedy Trainwreck. She quipped that Cena was “actually inside her” during their intimate moment on screen, leaving audiences both amused and intrigued.
In Trainwreck, Schumer portrays a woman afraid of commitment who becomes romantically involved with Cena’s character, Steven—a heavily muscled, gym-obsessed man. The film’s humor is amplified by Schumer’s raw, no-filter style, which she brought to both the screen and interviews about the role.
During promotional appearances, Schumer playfully commented on Cena’s muscular build, likening his backside to “a whole universe” and describing the experience of lying under him as if “a refrigerator” were pressing down on her. Her exaggerated descriptions added comedic flair and showed her talent for turning awkward moments into stand-up-worthy material.
Schumer also joked about her own passivity in the scene, stating that she “just did what I normally do during sex—just lay there.” The comment played into her persona of self-deprecating humor and gave fans more reason to love her bold honesty.
John Cena addressed the scene in a 2015 interview with Conan O’Brien, acknowledging its deliberately awkward tone. He said that the goal was to make viewers uncomfortable—and they succeeded. Cena approached the scene professionally, understanding its comedic value.
Later, on the Club Shay Shay podcast, Cena added that filming such scenes is far from romantic. With catering staff and sound crews nearby, the situation felt more embarrassing than sexy. Despite the discomfort, he praised Schumer for helping him feel at ease during the process.
Schumer kept the fun going by responding on Instagram: “That scene meant a lot to me, I was really into it… and I’m in love with you.” Her playful tone continued to charm fans and kept the spirit of the film alive.
Their light-hearted exchange not only highlighted their natural comedic chemistry but also revealed the behind-the-scenes reality of shooting intimate movie scenes—often far more absurd and unglamorous than they appear on screen.
