Oscars Sensation: John Cena’s Nude Best Costume Design Award Presentation

At the 2024 Academy Awards ceremony, John Cena left viewers astonished as he took the stage to present the award for Best Costume Design while completely nude. The actor and former wrestler, known for his roles in films like “Blockers,” was introduced by ceremony host Jimmy Kimmel in a skit that preceded the award presentation. Kimmel referenced a streaker incident from 50 years prior, prompting Cena to emerge from behind the set dressing, leading to playful banter between the two over whether they would proceed with the “streaker bit.”

After a brief moment, he finally appeared from the wings of the stage, his modesty shielded only by the winner’s envelope. “Costumes are… incredibly vital,” he declared. Meanwhile, as clips of the five nominees—Jacqueline Durran for “Barbie,” Jacqueline West for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Janty Yates and Dave Crossman for “Napoleon,” Ellen Mirojnick for “Oppenheimer,” and Holly Waddington for “Poor Things”—were showcased, Cena swiftly underwent a costume change and returned, this time draped in a flowing, toga-like robe to present the award.
