WWE star turned actor John Cena took the stage naked as he was presenting the award for “best costume design” at the 96th annual Oscars.
Cena took the stage after host Jimmy Kimmell set up the bit by saying, “Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? Wouldn’t that be crazy?”
The WWE star responded, “It’s an elegant event. Honestly, you should feel ashamed right now for suggesting such a tasteless idea.”
Cena who was bare naked then proceeded to schooch himself on stage only holding a sign in front of him that read “costume design.”

Per CNN:
John Cena literally bared it all at the Oscars on Sunday.
The actor appeared on stage during the telecast to present the award for best costume design hilariously appearing to wear nothing at all.
No really, Cena appeared on the stage at the year’s most prestigious event in Hollywood… almost entirely naked.
The show’s host Jimmy Kimmel set up the bit by sharing a little bit of Oscars history, nodding to the 1974 Academy Awards when a streaker ran across the stage. Kimmel jokingly said, “Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? Wouldn’t that be crazy?”
Shortly after his initial entrance, the lights were turned, and stage producers placed what resembled a toga on Cena.
This isn’t the first time Cena has been humiliated in the name of “comedy.”
In 2023, TMZ caught Cena wearing a mini-skirt on the set of his new Movie Ricky Stanicky.
Last week, Joe Rogan hosted comedian and actor Katt Williams on his show, and the two talked about humiliation rituals in Hollywood.
Williams shared that in order for masculine men to be successful in Hollywood, they must first wear a dress.
