Amy Schumer has never been shy about sharing behind-the-scenes stories, and she recently reflected on her unforgettable scene with John Cena in the 2015 film Trainwreck. The comedic bedroom moment between the two stars remains one of the most talked-about parts of the movie, and Schumer admits it was both funny and awkward.
In the film, Cena plays Steven, a health-obsessed boyfriend who has an intense—but over-the-top—love scene with Schumer’s character. The scene was meant to be comedic, filled with exaggerated movements and funny lines. Looking back, Schumer joked that Cena was “inside her” during the filming, sending interviewers into laughter.
She later clarified that it was all part of the performance but admitted that the scene left her with an unusual regret—she never got to “feel his balls,” a joke she made during a candid interview. Cena, on the other hand, found the experience awkward for a different reason. He revealed that he didn’t inform his then-fiancée about the scene beforehand, which made things uncomfortable.
While appearing on an Australian talk show, Schumer was asked how she managed to stay professional during the scene. She humorously responded, “Because he was literally inside me,” before quickly clarifying that she was just joking.
Cena later discussed the reality of filming love scenes on the Club Shay Shay podcast, explaining that it’s far from intimate. He pointed out that there’s a large crew behind the scenes, making it a very technical process rather than a romantic one.
Schumer kept the jokes going by playfully calling out Cena on Instagram, saying how much the scene meant to her. It’s clear that while the experience may have been awkward, both stars have embraced the humor in it, making the moment even more iconic.
