According to Conan O’Brien, the filming of *Trainwreck* was “uncomfortable,” which was exactly what the production team wanted. John Cena explained on *Club Shay Shay* that although he was given lines at first, they changed direction. “Amy is an angel, she made the environment so comfortable,” Cena said. “And then when I got the part, they were like, ‘Yeah, it’s a s* scene.’”
Cena revealed his wrestling skills didn’t help with Hollywood intimacy scenes. “At this moment, everybody watching thinks we’re alone… but it’s totally artificial. Nothing. So it’s real embarrassing.” Amy Schumer later joked by posting, “John, how dare you,” and claimed, “I’m in love with you.” Cena admitted he didn’t tell his then-girlfriend Nikki Bella about the scene, saying, “I always avoided opening up to her about my attempt to perform that action.”
Schumer stirred controversy by joking, “The penetration was real since he was physically inside me. Who am I to stop him?” The comment spread on social media, with many not finding it funny. Still, Schumer kept the playful tone, repeating, “It’s real.” Her remarks revived interest in *Trainwreck*, especially its most talked-about scene.
