John Cena made quite the impression at the Oscars on Sunday night, as he appeared on stage almost entirely naked. The actor, known for his WWE wrestling career, hilariously presented the award for best costume design in what seemed to be a wardrobe malfunction.
The show’s host, Jimmy Kimmel, set up the bit by mentioning a past streaker incident at the Academy Awards, leading Cena to play along by pretending to be naked on stage. Despite appearing to be in the nude, Cena was actually covered in strategic areas and had an oversized winner’s envelope to maintain some modesty.
After a playful exchange with Kimmel, Cena presented the award to Holly Waddington for her work on “Poor Things.” The whole act was meant to be a comedic moment, with Cena challenging the idea that the male body is just a joke.
Although Cena’s appearance may have caused a stir, it was all in good fun and part of the entertainment at the prestigious event. It was later revealed that precautions were taken to ensure there were no violations of broadcast regulations.
As Cena wrapped up his on-stage antics, the audience was left amused and entertained by the unexpected turn of events. The best costume design Oscar went to Waddington, and Cena’s bold presentation will surely be remembered as one of the highlights of the night.
