Amy Schumer’s Hilarious Take on Filming a Steamy Scene with John Cena in Trainwreck

Amy Schumer brought her signature humor to discussions about filming a steamy scene with John Cena in the 2015 comedy Trainwreck. Known for her raw, no-filter style, Schumer joked that Cena was “actually inside her” during their intimate moment, instantly amusing and intriguing audiences.

In the film, Schumer plays a commitment-phobic woman who gets involved with Cena’s character, Steven—a muscular, gym-obsessed man. During promotions, Schumer hilariously compared Cena’s muscular backside to “a whole universe” and described lying beneath him as if “a refrigerator” was pressing down on her, turning awkward moments into comedic gold.

She also poked fun at her own passivity in the scene, saying she “just did what I normally do during sex—just lay there.” This honesty resonated with fans and reinforced her relatable persona.

John Cena, in a 2015 interview with Conan O’Brien, explained the scene was intentionally awkward to make viewers uncomfortable. He praised Schumer for helping him relax during the shoot and later admitted in a podcast that filming intimate scenes is far from romantic, given the crew’s presence.

Their chemistry and comedic timing helped make the scene memorable.
