John Cena's Oscars 2024 Surprise: Presenting Nude for Best Costume Design
Host Jimmy Kimmel teased Cena's entrance by referencing a streaker at the 1974 Oscars.
When Cena emerged, he humorously rejected the idea of doing a streaker act, emphasizing the elegance of the event and defending the male body from being treated as a joke.
Responding to Kimmel's jest about wrestling naked, Cena clarified that he wrestles in jorts (jean shorts), not nude.
Kimmel jokingly countered that jorts are worse than being naked, prompting Cena to cover himself with a winner's envelope, causing a stir in the audience.
Despite the comedic banter, Cena emphasized the importance of costumes in filmmaking.
As the nominees were announced, assistants rushed to clothe Cena in an elaborate gown.
