John Cena Strips Down the Oscars: A Wrestler’s Wardrobe Malfunction

Actor and wrestler John Cena made a memorable entrance onto the stage at the 96th Academy Awards by emphasizing the significance of costumes in films in a rather unconventional way—he chose not to wear one himself. Cena’s decision garnered cheers and laughter, particularly from Margot Robbie, as he joined host Jimmy Kimmel to present the award for Best Costume Design.

Before Cena’s entrance, Kimmel humorously pondered the idea of a nude man running across the stage, only to be surprised by Cena’s unexpected appearance. Kimmel then quickly retracted his suggestion, expressing discomfort with the idea of a streaker at such a prestigious event. Cena, with a strategically placed oversized envelope, quipped, “The male body is not a joke,” while highlighting the importance of costumes in the film, eliciting further laughter from the audience.

The bold move by Cena not only amused the seated audience at the Oscars but also thrilled the internet, with X (previously known as Twitter) buzzing with tweets praising Cena’s commitment to the occasion. One fan wrote, “No matter what anyone says, John Cena commits #Oscars.”
