Oscars 2024: It is the biggest award night ever, and all were decked up in their most glam avatar. But John Cena took things up a notch by going n*de on stage! Yes, you read that right! The former WWE star and now a notable Hollywood actor walked across the stage wearing nothing. But why? Keep scrolling for more.
Yargos Lanthimos directed Poor Things, which took home multiple Academy Awards, including Best Hair & Makeup and Set Production. Emma Stone was one of the frontrunners for the Best Actress in a Leading Role. Meanwhile, Mark Ruffalo lost the Best Actor in a Supporting Role Oscar to his Marvel co-star Robert Downey Jr.
Mark Ruffalo and Emma Stone’s movie Poor Things was also nominated for Best Costume, and to announce the winner, John Cena graced the stage costume-less. Jimmy Kimmel referred to the 1974 Oscars when a nak*d man ran on stage when David Niven was introducing Elizabeth Taylor. When Kimmel shared the story, the Peacemaker star peaked from behind a stage segment. He was setting the stage for the streaker bit. Cena told the Oscars 2024 host, “I just don’t feel right about it. It’s an elegant event, you know; you should feel shame right now for suggesting such a tasteless joke.”

Jimmy Kimmel told John Cena that it was supposed to be funny, but John responded to that, saying, “The male body is not a joke!” The Academy Award for Best Costume went to Poor Things. Cena wore nothing and covered his j*nk with just the envelope. There was a quick cut, and Cena appeared draped in a curtain-like covering on the Oscars 2024 stage.
The video clip from the Oscars 2024 went viral on social media X within moments of its airing.
Here’s what the netizens feel about John Cena’s bit:
One wrote, “I literally only see a floating envelope.”
Another disgusted netizen said, “this is gross.”
One quipped, “And infact wearing the best costume.”
“honestly this made my day,” added one fan.
One person asked, “Where is the shame?”
Followed by one saying, “This is crazy.”
And, “He is the moment!!!”
