John Cena made a surprising appearance at the Oscars, sporting attire even more minimal than his wrestling days. As host Jimmy Kimmel prepared to announce the nominees for best costume design, he humorously recalled a past streaking incident at the Oscars. Kimmel pondered the modern reception of such an event, setting the stage for Cena's unexpected contribution to the evening's entertainment.
Cena initially agreed to partake in a streaking bit but quickly changed his mind, expressing to Kimmel that he no longer wished to go through with it. This led to a playful argument between the two, during which Cena humorously asserted that the male body should not be the subject of jest.
Despite his reservations, Cena fulfilled his role by approaching the microphone in what appeared to be his birthday suit, except for a strategically placed Oscars envelope. The audience erupted in laughter as he emphasized the significance of costumes, the very category he was presenting.
When Cena hesitated to unveil the nominees while holding the envelope, Kimmel intervened and initiated the nomination reel. Seizing the moment, the stage crew swiftly draped a curtain over Cena as the reel played, adding a touch of elegance to the impromptu scene.
Ultimately, the best costume design award went to "Poor Things," a film by Yorgos Lanthimos starring Emma Stone. However, it was Cena's unexpected and humorous cameo that became one of the memorable highlights of the evening.
