The Oscars 2024 ceremony took an unexpected turn when John Cena made a nude appearance onstage to present the Best Costume Award. In a widely circulated video from the event, Jimmy Kimmel, the host of Oscars 2024, playfully hinted at Cena’s unconventional introduction as he introduced him as the presenter.
Despite initial hesitation, Cena eventually emerged onstage without clothing, seemingly urged by Kimmel. To maintain some semblance of modesty, Cena used the winner’s envelope to cover himself while announcing the Best Costume category. During the brief interval before the nominations were announced, Kimmel draped a large curtain around Cena, providing him with some relief from the exposure.
The moment elicited laughter both from the audience at the ceremony and viewers online, with Margot Robbie notably enjoying the spectacle as Cena took the stage.
The Oscars 2024 ceremony can be streamed live on Disney+ Hotstar in India.
