Comedian and actress Amy Schumer recently shared a humorous behind-the-scenes story from the 2015 romantic comedy Trainwreck, offering fans a glimpse into one of the film’s most talked-about moments with co-star John Cena. Known for her candid humor and quick wit, Schumer described the filming experience with a mix of playful exaggeration and self-deprecating jokes that perfectly reflect her comedic style.
In Trainwreck, Schumer plays a commitment-averse writer navigating the challenges of love, relationships, and personal growth, while Cena portrays Steven, a fitness-obsessed personal trainer. The film, praised for blending heartfelt moments with bold comedy, required both actors to dive into scenes that balanced humor, timing, and physical performance.
Reflecting on Cena’s athletic build, Schumer once joked about the challenge of performing alongside him, describing his physique as “unreal” and humorously comparing it to having “a refrigerator on top” of her during the scene. The remark, delivered in her signature comedic tone, drew laughs from fans and highlighted her ability to turn even awkward filming moments into relatable humor.
Schumer also teased that Cena had the more difficult task, joking that she didn’t have to do much while he carried the weight—literally and figuratively—of the scene. The exchange showcases the comfort and trust between the two actors, both on set and in interviews.
