John Cena Works Blue in New Movie "Trainwreck"

Submitted By James Walsh on 10/23/14

- PWInsider has spoken to a source who attended the first industry screening of Judd Apatow’s new film Trainwreck, which features John Cena in a supporting role. The source reported that Cena “nailed it” in terms of his performance, describing Cena’s work as “Funny. Charismatic. Borderline X-rated.” In the film, Cena plays the boyfriend of lead actress Amy Schumer (who wrote the film). The report from PWInsider of Cena’s role in the film reads as follows: In “Trainwreck”, Cena plays Steven, described as a dim-witted health and Cross-fit obsessed gym rat. Over the course of the film, the script and Cena’s performance plays up the fact that he actually be a closeted homoesexual, which got a great reaction out of the audience last night and with one scene in particular, ended up with Cena getting the loudest laughs of the screening. That scene features Schumer’s character asking Cena’s Steven to speak dirty to her while they are making love. Our sources notes that, “Steven at first resists, though eventually settles on, “you looked so hot when I first met you…wearing those jeans that I love…that make your a** look great…from behind you look like a…a…duuuuuuuuude!!” The emphasis on “dude” is written as such because that is at that point where Cena’s character has an earth shattering orgasm.” Over the course of the film, Cena and Schumer have the one graphic sex scene while other scenes feature Cena doing full nudity from behind and the aforementioned “bringing down the house” scene where Cena’s character, after having sex, is seen fully nude, with a dampened washcloth covering (but being held up) by his male parts, which got a huge reaction from the audience. PWInsider reports that the source compared the role to Batista’s in Guardians of the Galaxy in terms of being a breakout role for him. It was said that it is nothing like Cena’s WWE persona, but instead a “very adult, racy, explicit character.” The site noted of course that this was an industry screening to gauge what is and isn’t working in the film and that Apatow called it a “work in progress.” Cena’s role could be cut down in the final release. It is believed that it could conceivably open doors for Cena to get more serious Hollywood work should he wish. Trainwreck comes out next summer. :: GO BACK TO THE HOME PAGE :: DISCUSS THIS STORY ON FACEBOOK! :: BUY WRESTLING DVD'S THROUGH OUR STORE!
