Directed by Judd Apatow and co-starring Bill Hader, the film hinted at Cena’s comedic potential. However, securing the 16-time world champion’s involvement was no small feat. Cena reportedly asked for a staggering $2.5 million fee for his short yet memorable portrayal of Schumer’s beefy and accidentally homoerotic ex-boyfriend.
