John Cena goes totally naked on Oscars stage & covers up with just a card in bizarre streaking moment with Jimmy Kimmel
PRO wrestler John Cena stood naked with just an envelope covering him next to Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel.
Cena, 46, scooted out onto the stage in just his birthday suit in a major shock for Oscar attendees to present the award for best costume design.
The pro wrestler decided to streak for the major film industry event.
When he got up to the microphone he said, “Costumes” and then shook his head and added, “they are so important.”
Even with the obvious elephant in the room of him being naked, the crowd still applauded wildly for Cena as he walked out.
Cena is not the first person to streak at the Oscars.
Kimmel even referenced when photographer Robert Opel streaked at the award show 50 years ago.
During the 1974 Oscars, Opel ran nude across the stage while David Niven was introducing Elizabeth Taylor.
In a sketch poking fun at the incident, Kimmel told the audience that John Cena was going to reenact the moment.
He instead sauntered out wearing nothing but Birkenstocks and an envelope.
Inside the envelope was the winner of Best Costume Design, which John presented to Holly Waddington for Poor Things.
Other Oscar winners included The Boy and the Heron as the best animated feature film, Robert Downey Jr. won best supporting actor for his role in Oppenheimer, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph won best supporting actress for her role in The Holdovers.
Also, 20 Days in Mariupol won best documentary feature film, Poor Things won Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and The Last Repair Shop won best documentary short film.
There are still many categories that have not announced their winner.
The 2024 Oscars will be broadcast LIVE on ABC and the ABC App from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California.
The award show started at 7 pm ET on Sunday, March 10, 2024.
