What happened to stuffing with a sock? Professional wrestler John Cena wants fans to know they won’t be seeing his manhood in Trainwreck.
“[I have a] ‘big part’ because of the costume department,” the WWE star, 37, joked on the March 25 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live. “I was gifted a stunt penis.”
Why the need for an artificial part?
“I had to do a sex scene, which involved me being almost all the way naked,” Cena explained. “I had to stuff myself in a small nylon sock, and they gave me a stunt penis to insinuate an erection.”
In the film, Cena plays Steven, a self-obsessed hookup for Amy Schumer’s character Amy. The comedy’s red band trailer shows Cena and Schumer’s awkward encounter, in which his version of “dirty talk” is to discuss his achievements at the gym.
The Judd Apatow-directed movie will be released on July 17. Apart from a few guest roles on Psych and Parks and Recreation, Trainwreck will be Cena’s first big acting debut.
