A source who attended the first industry screening of Judd Apatow’s new film Trainwreck, which features John Cena in a supporting role, says 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). A report from 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.”

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 source 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. It’s a very similar situation to Batista and even The Rock back when he was just beginning his Hollywood career. Although Cena always says he’s “WWE for life”, age is always a factor. Guys and girls need to plan for life after WWE as they obviously can’t wrestle for the rest of their lives.

Trainwreck comes out next summer.
