In the bizarre world of Hollywood, few things are shocking anymore. But leave it to Amy Schumer to take things to the next level.
In what might be the most jaw-dropping quote of 2015 to resurface again on social media, comedian Amy Schumer set the internet ablaze when she casually claimed that during her infamous love scene with wrestling giant John Cena in Trainwreck, he was “actually inside” her.
“I’m not kidding. He was in me,” Schumer joked during a late-night interview, causing the audience to erupt with laughter and her host to drop his cue cards in stunned disbelief. “And honestly, I didn’t even know until he stood up and lifted the couch with him.”
The remark, clearly a punchline in true Schumer style, reignited long-forgotten whispers from behind the scenes of Trainwreck, a romantic comedy that blurred the lines between raunchy and ridiculous. The now-legendary bedroom scene between Schumer’s character and Cena’s hyper-intense, protein-fueled gym bro became a fan favorite for its awkward physical comedy and Cena’s over-the-top dirty talk—which included threats to make protein shakes during foreplay.
But fans have always wondered: how real was it?
Sources from the set tell a different story—one that’s more sock and spandex than skin-to-skin. According to a production assistant, “There were more barriers between them than in a medieval jousting tournament. Cena was basically wrapped like a Christmas gift. No actual touching went on… at least not the kind Amy hinted at.”
John Cena himself, ever the gentleman, addressed the scene in an earlier interview. “Let’s be clear—this was a professional set. There were 30 people in the room, bright lights, sound booms, and a craft services table five feet away. There was nothing romantic or, um, penetrative about it. Also, I was wearing what can only be described as a glorified man-diaper.”
Still, Schumer’s comments have a way of sticking, especially when paired with her infamous humor. She later clarified that the “he was inside me” comment was, in fact, a joke—and a jab at how seriously people take simulated sex scenes. “It’s called acting,” she said. “It’s just that when you’re acting opposite a 250-pound slab of human granite, it’s hard to remember where the acting stops and your ribs start collapsing.”
Fans took to social media with mixed reactions. Some cheered Schumer’s bold honesty. Others questioned if Cena should be awarded an honorary Oscar—or a restraining order.
“I think what she meant,” one Twitter user wrote, “was that John Cena’s presence was inside her soul. Like, spiritually. And maybe physically too. I’d believe anything about that man’s biceps.”
Rumors also began swirling that Cena’s now-famous scene inspired a deleted follow-up where his character apologizes for cracking the bed frame and accidentally giving Amy’s character a mild concussion with his deltoid.
Though no such footage has surfaced, one thing is clear: the Schumer-Cena chemistry, scripted or not, remains one of the most talked-about movie moments in recent rom-com history.
As for Cena, he’s since moved on to family-friendly action roles and apologizing to pandas in multiple languages. Schumer, meanwhile, continues to push comedic boundaries—and apparently, furniture.
When asked if they’d work together again, Schumer smiled slyly and said, “Only if there’s more padding next time.”
