Amy Schumer hasn't been shy in talking about her sex scene with John Cena over the years.
The pair starred in the 2015 comedy Trainwreck, which Schumer also happened to write, with the likes of Brie Larson and Bill Hader helping to make up the star-studded cast.
While the film has some good laughs in it, the title is primarily remembered by the masses for the fairly graphic and fairly comedic sex scene between Cena and Schumer.
Cena, playing the gym-obsessed boyfriend of Schumer's character, put in a memorable performance, as he could be seen with a towel over his parts at the end of their steamy scene.
Schumer, though, has made jokes about the scene, going as far as claiming that the WWE legend was “actually inside” her while the cameras were rolling.
In fact, she said that Cena was “just about protected” during shooting, going on to stun listeners with more claims.
Speaking about the scene to MTV Australia, she said: “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 then joked about the physical demands of the scene, saying: “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."
"You know what? I didn’t get to feel his balls. It’s a major regret of mine. Major regret," she further joked.
Schumer made the claims while promoting the film alongside Hader, as the actress was also asked about how many takes the sex scene needed, before she spoke about how Cena was "actually inside" her.
Hader seemed to see the funny side of things, too, sarcastically claiming that wrestlers "don't fake," which, of course, they do.
WWE star Nikki Bella, also known as Nikki Garcia, previously said that the steamy scene ruined her solo sex sessions.
Apparently, seeing her then-boyfriend getting it on with another woman on-screen was a huge turn-off, putting her off pleasuring herself altogether.
Speaking on her reality show in the past, Bella said that she couldn't unsee the scenes, explaining: “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."
Bella and Cena first started dating in 2012 before getting engaged in front of thousands of wrestling fans at WrestleMania 33 in 2017, though the wedding was called off just months later.
The couple would endure a public split in 2018 after Cena admitted he did not want children, just weeks before the ceremony.
They have remained close friends ever since, and Bella would go on to marry and divorce Dancing with the Stars pro Artem Chigvintsev.
While Schumer’s comments were clearly delivered in a comedic tone, it didn't make the situation any easier for Cena's fiancée at the time, with the actor admitting that filming the scene caused trouble at home.
He told Fox News: “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.”
Cena admitted that Bella has “every right" to be upset because he didn’t tell her ahead of time that he would be doing a sex scene.
“Nicole had every right to be mad because I should have told her from the beginning,” he added.
He also opened up on the scene while on the Club Shay Shay Podcast, revealing: "So it's real embarrassing, and on top of that, to do a comedic sex scene when you're making fun of yourself."
