John Cena Goes Nearly Naked to Present Oscars

On Sunday, John Cena stripped down to nothing at the 2024 Academy Awards!

Before presenting the award for Best Costume Design, Cena took part in a skit with host Jimmy Kimmel.

Kimmel told the audience that there was a streaker who appeared onstage at the 1974 Oscars.

When Kimmel said, “Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? Wouldn’t that be crazy?” Cena peeked out from behind the host.

Seemingly nude and hidden by a stage piece, John seemed nervous.

Kimmel told Cena, “What’s going on? You’re supposed to run across the stage.”

Cena told Kimmel that he changed his mind and didn’t want to do the “streaking” bit anymore.

John recently played a stripper in his film “Ricky Stanicky.”

Regardless of his concerns, Kimmel said they were “doing it.”

John noted, “The male body is not a joke,” to which Jimmy commented, “Mine is.”

Kimmel left Cena on the stage, handing him the envelope which had the winner’s name.

John then walked across the stage, covering his private parts with the big envelope.

He asked Kimmel to come back out and help him “open the envelope.”

After the nominees were presented, the camera panned to Cena, who was now dressed in a period gown.

John announced the winner: Holly Waddington, who worked on “Poor Things.”

Cena wasn't actually naked on stage though. He had some coverage based on some backstage photos.

Later in the night, Jimmy posted a pic with John, who wore a black robe.

Jimmy wrote on Backstage at the #Oscars with reluctant streaker @JohnCena.

At the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, "Extra's" Melvin Robert spoke with "Everything Everywhere All at Once" star Michelle Yeoh about the funny moment. She said, "That was hysterical. Good for him. We need some laughter."
