Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Lebron James proved that he's a natural as an actor when he reportedly stole the show from Amy Schumer's film debut, "Trainwreck."

Or he could transition to wrestling, if he accepts WWE champ John Cena's challenge to a match inside the ring.

The three-time MVP told CNN that he was very nervous on the first day of shooting, even if he already has some experience in doing commercial and public service announcements.

"I've done so many great things, but I've never stepped on a movie set. But it was extremely fun to be around those guys," he said.

Lebron James had it easy however as the Cleveland Cavaliers forward plays himself, a client and best friend of Aaron Conners, played by "SNL" comedian Bill Hader, the love interest of Amy Schumer's character, Amy.

The original plan was for him to appear on a cameo, but he quickly developed a chemistry with Bill Hader that Judd Apatow ended up convincing him to hang around for more scenes.

"And it was, like, 'OK, well, you know, you mind sticking around for a couple more days? We're going to write another scene in here.' And then I got into a scene with Amy Schumer, who's unbelievable. And it was, like, 'You mind sticking around for just one or two more days?' And I ended up doing, like, five or six, maybe, like, seven scenes. I don't want to give it up, how many scenes I'm in," he said.

Lebron James is actually fulfilling a childhood dream in "Trainwreck" as he revealed that he's always wanted to be in films ever since he saw "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" as a child.

If the movie career doesn't pan out, the 6-8 burly forward can still try the WWE. And John Cena already paved the way for his appearance, if he's willing to accept the challenge.

John Cena also has a small role in Amy Schumer's "Trainwreck" and has been on a promotional run. Speaking to People magazine, per SB Nation, the WWE champ said, "OK Mr James, it sounds like you're parading around with two first names, like my name is Stan Mike."

"I mean really, who is LeBron James? I'll tell you who he is. He's the guy this Sunday who's gonna step in the ring with me!"
