Amy Schumer addressed huge rumor about her sex scene with John Cena after she said he was 'inside her'

Amy Schumer has never been one to hold back when discussing the details of her comedy films. When she wrote and starred in the 2015 hit comedy Trainwreck, audiences were treated to an unforgettable and highly graphic bedroom sequence.

The memorable moment featured WWE legend John Cena playing her character's fitness-obsessed boyfriend, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.

Over the years, a massive rumor circulated regarding just how real that specific moment actually was. Schumer herself fueled the fire during promotional tours, making comedic claims that went viral across the internet. At one point, she openly joked that the wrestler turned actor was literally inside her while the cameras were rolling.

However, the comedian later cleared up the truth behind the scene and addressed the rumors regarding a prop that was used on set.

During an appearance on Opie Radio, the discussion turned to a US Weekly report claiming that a stunt piece was used during filming. Schumer confirmed the rumor, recalling a funny interaction with the film's prop master, Jimmy Mizola.

The truth behind the prop room

While speaking on the radio show, Schumer recalled walking past the prop department during production. She asked the prop master, "What are you doing?" And he's like, "I'm making John's dick." And I was like, "Carry on."

One of the hosts then joked about the situation, saying, "He's like a perverted Japetto. Yeah. Trying to bring this to life." When asked what the object was crafted from, she confirmed it was wood.

Jokes about the physical demands

The radio confirmation stands in hilarious contrast to the wild comments Schumer made while speaking to MTV Australia. During that interview, she stunned listeners by joking about Cena's anatomy and physical presence during their shoot.

“He was actually inside me. Who am I to stop him? It’s a whole universe, that butt. It’s not even human. It felt like having a refrigerator on top of me.”

She did not stop there with her comedic commentary. She continued to joke about her own performance versus Cena's physical effort during the scene. “I think it was probably harder for him.

"He had to, like, do something. I just did what I usually do when I have sex. Just lay there." Schumer also expressed a playful disappointment regarding the shoot, telling the outlet, "You know what? I didn’t get to feel his balls. It’s a major regret of mine. Major regret."

Real fallout behind the scenes

While Schumer looked back on the production with absolute humor, the sequence caused real discomfort for Cena and his fiancée at the time, Nikki Bella.

Bella later revealed on her reality show that watching the film completely impacted her personal life. “Imagine watching your man do a sex scene and have the whole world see his big butt. You know, you get visuals. I swear, I couldn’t masturbate [in like] forever because I just think of the sex scene."

Cena later admitted that filming the sequence was highly awkward and caused tension at home because he failed to warn his partner in advance.

Speaking to Fox News, the actor expressed regret over how he handled the situation. “Yeah, it was uncomfortable. I never thought I would get the part in the first place. Then I got the part and was thinking I have to be naked. It was nerve-racking.”

He added that his partner had every right to be upset with him. “Nicole had every right to be mad because I should have told her from the beginning,” he stated.

Reflecting further on his experience during an appearance on the Club Shay Shay Podcast, he concluded, "So it's real embarrassing, and on top of that, to do a comedic sex scene when you're making fun of yourself."
