In a surprising turn of events, the former wrestler turned actor, John Cena, astounded enthusiasts as he graced the Oscars 2024 stage on Sunday evening, adorned only in the attire of the Costume Designer award envelope, concealing his lower extremities.

Accompanying Jimmy Kimmel on the Oscars stage, Cena, albeit hesitant, bared it all while presenting the prestigious award for the best costume design, ultimately doing so under Kimmel’s persistent persuasion, thrusting him from the wings to the forefront for the award presentation.

Expressing a change of heart, Cena confided in Kimmel, stating, “I’ve reconsidered. I’m not inclined to pursue the streaker act. I find it inappropriate. This is an affair of sophistication; one should harbor remorse for suggesting such a crude jest.”

Kimmel contended that the act was intended for humor, prompting Cena’s humorous retort, “The masculine form is no laughing matter,” eliciting uproarious laughter from the audience. Cena’s association with this year’s Oscars includes a cameo in ‘Barbie,’ a film garnering eight Academy Award nominations, according to Variety.

Following this, Cena proceeded to unveil the Best Costume Design accolade. The spotlight then shifted to the Hollywood luminary Emma Stone’s film, ‘Poor Things,’ which triumphed at the Oscars 2024 by securing victories in the categories of Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.

This cinematic piece earned 11 nominations at the 96th Academy Awards. Currently, the Oscars 2024 unfolds at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, with live streaming available on the OTT platform Disney+ Hotstar.
