John Cena Admits Filming Sex Scenes Is The Worst, But Not As Embarrassing As His Naked Oscars Sketch

There is nothing intimate about it," the WWE star said.

John Cena  might have let it all hang out with his skin-baring shenanigans at the Oscars earlier this year, but he revealed this week that hes not a huge fan of being au naturel onscreen. 

While appearing on Shannon Sharpes Club Shay Shay podcast, the Jackpot star, 47, admitted he finds filming sex scenes in movies to be the worst. 

Right now, you guys at home think its just us. No, theres a whole fucking world back here, he said, gesturing to the podcasts off-camera crew. This is a great production, nonetheless. But dude, man, catering was right there, and the sound tent was right there. 

Cena went on to recall a particularly awkward onscreen experience. 

The WWE personality co-starred alongside Schumer, 43, in the 2015 romantic comedy Trainwreck.  At one point, Cena and Schumer attempt to share an intimate moment, before Cenas character completely spoils the moment with his cringe-worthy dirty talk. 

Amy [Schumer] is an angel, she made the environment so comfortable, and then when I got the part, eventually they were like, Yeah, its a sex scene. We want you to do elaborate and crazy stunt sex, and all those lines you had? Were probably not going to use them, were just going to do this stunt sex scene, he recalled.

There are so many people you need to make a movie. There is nothing intimate about it. Nothing. So its real embarrassing, and on top of that, to do a comedic sex scene when youre making fun of yourself? he went on. They were literally like, Try to have the most awkward sex you possibly can. 

With an audience watching that, its different, he added. I dont want to say it sucks. Its just different than you all think it is.

Host Sharpe then asked the Peacemaker leading man which was worse, his Oscars stunt or sex scenes. 

(In case you missed it, Cena made headlines after he appeared to be totally nude while presenting an award onstage at the Oscars in March.)

Cena vehemently responded, The Oscars. 

I walk out in front of a room of my peers many of which Ive never met because I havent worked my way up to meet [them], he said. I have the most decorated performers, producers, directors in one room, and Im gonna go out there, with my balls in the wind, with an index card covering my stuff like, Hey guys, is this funny? Are we good?
