John Cena on Awkward Sex Scenes

John Cena, the 47-year-old wrestler-turned-actor, gained significant attention for his role in the 2015 comedy "Trainwreck," where he shared a memorable and awkward intimate scene with Amy Schumer. In a recent episode of the podcast "Club Shay Shay," Cena candidly discussed the behind-the-scenes reality of filming the comedic sex scene, emphasizing that it was far from the glamorous portrayal often seen on screen. He described the experience as a unique challenge, particularly when tasked with creating an intentionally awkward moment. Cena explained that the process of filming such scenes involves numerous people and a level of discomfort that audiences may not fully appreciate. He noted that the directive to "have the most awkward sex you possibly can" added an extra layer of complexity to the performance. "It’s different than you all think it is," he remarked, highlighting the contrast between audience perceptions and the actual experience of filming. In "Trainwreck," Schumer's character prompts Cena's character, Steven, to "talk dirty," leading to a series of hilariously awkward moments, including his desperate attempts to impress her with random Mandarin phrases. The scene culminates in an unexpected climax that leaves Schumer's character shocked. Adding to the humor, Schumer revealed that a prop phallus, reportedly part of a broomstick, was used during the filming, further illustrating the unconventional nature of the scene. This candid reflection sheds light on the often-overlooked realities of creating comedic moments in film.
