John Cena’s ex-fiancée once admitted that his sex scene with Amy Schumer had quite the impact on their love live.
The retired WWE star, who appeared alongside Schumer in 2015's Trainwreck, played one of her flings in the rom com.
During the scene, Schumer asks the 48-year-old's character - dedicated gym goer Steven - to ‘mix it up a little bit’ and to ‘talk dirty’.
Cena told the Club Shay Shay podcast that filming it was 'real embarrassing'.

Pointing at the crew, he said: "This is the thing — right now, you guys at home think it's just us. No, there's a whole f**king world back here," before explaining there were even more on set of the film.
He continued: "There are so many people you need to make a movie. There is nothing intimate about it. Nothing.
"So it's real embarrassing, and on top of that, to do a comedic sex scene when you're making fun of yourself."
Speaking during the press run about the scene and how she kept a straight face, Schumer quipped: “Because he was actually inside me. Who am I to stop him.”
She later joked it was a ‘major regret’ that she didn’t ‘feel his balls’.
Well, it turns out Cena and Schumer weren't the only ones who found the experience somewhat uncomfortable.
Nikki Bella, who dated Cena from 2012 to 2018 and got engaged to him at WrestleMania 33, said it had that much of a knock-on effect, it dampened her libido.
Speaking on her reality TV show Total Bellas in 2018, she said: “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 forever because I just think of the sex scene.”
The two superstars were still engaged at the time before breaking things off in April 2019.
“Overall, we did have such an incredible relationship, it was just two people that wanted two different lives,” she previously told Maria Menounon’s Better Together podcast.
“We were trying so hard to make it one. Even in the end when he was willing to give me kids, I could just tell, it’s not what he wanted.
“And that’s really… what pushed me [to break-up] in the end.”
Cena is now married to Shay Shariatzadeh, with whom he tied the knot in October 2020.
On Stephanie’s Places, the wrestler-turned-movie star said he and his friends went out to a bar to support the New England Patriots at the Super Bowl, but became more fixated on Shariatzadeh.
After he got chatting to her, they met again at the same bar and spoke from 6pm until they kicked them out at 1am.
“We met back at the same place, and we sat down at 6, and they kicked us out at 1 in the morning," he said.
"Just me and her. I met her by accident. I always just kind of let life deal me the cards and then knowing that this could be something, and it’s time to push some chips in."
