Amy Schumer film scene was inspired by sports star who performed sex act on her after she 'booty called' him
Amy Schumer opened up about the time she hooked up with a sports star in an interview with the Call Her Daddy podcast, and it actually inspired a scene in one of her films.
The comedic actor spoke about the experience of ‘booty-calling’ a famous baseball star, whose identity she did not reveal, on the podcast.
Schumer said how he came over performed oral sex on her, then almost immediately after left, leading her to send him a message.

Later in the podcast, however, she says of her night with the sports star: “He went down on me and then I yawned and was like [I’m tired], that’s a moment in Trainwreck that’s from real life.
"That’s not the most popular move that gets the best response, but that’s the truth. That's happened probably three times in my life when I was in my heyday, one of them was furious and one of them was totally fine with it. And the baseball player was kinda cool about it.”
2015’s Trainwreck opens with Schumer’s character, also called Amy, hooking up with a guy, telling him to go down on her first because ‘she’s shy’.
As this is going on though, she feigns falling asleep, with a voiceover saying after: “Don’t judge me f**kers, I am just a sexual girl, I am fine, I am in control.
“This is clearly not my first rodeo, the key is to never ever sleep over.”
This also plays a big part later in the film when she begins dating Bill Hader’s character Aaron.
When the two begin arguing she berates him for going down on her ‘too much’, calling it selfish.
The film follows Schumer as a young writer who doesn’t put much stock into relationships and love, choosing instead to focus on casual hook-ups.
While the film is highly rated, with 84 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, Schumer reflected negatively on the press tour for the film in 2016.
She wrote in a series of essays, titled 'The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo' (via The Sydney Morning Herald): “Maybe it was just a cultural thing that made the foreign journalists seem out of line.
“Some interviewers brought this vibe: 'Well, you talk about sexual subject matter in your movie, so I can say anything I want to you.’
"Which made me want to shower for the rest of my life.”
She said that one particular incident in Australia involved a journalist asking her: "So your character is a skank. Do you have a word for skank in America?”
The actor said that her co-star Hader also raised issues with a journalist in Berlin asking what she was like as a sexual partner.
She said: “Bill didn't like this question and stood up for me, but I said it was fine and explained that it was like being with one of those performers who stand on boxes on street corners spray-painted entirely in silver.
"The only difference, I said, is that no one ever gave me a dollar.”
Trainwreck is available to stream on NOW TV.
