John Cena Makes a Cheeky Appearance at the 2024 Oscars
At the 2024 Oscars, the audience was in for a surprise as actor and former WWE champion John Cena made a memorable appearance on stage. Known for his wrestling career, Cena decided to shock the crowd by showing up in minimal attire, capturing the attention of everyone present.
As Cena took to the stage to present the award for best costume design, he joked about a historic streaking incident involving actor David Niven from 50 years ago. The mention of a nude man running across the stage sparked laughter and curiosity among the audience.
Playfully teasing the idea of a streaker taking the stage, Cena and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel engaged in a humorous exchange. Cena, however, expressed a change of heart, emphasizing that the male body should not be treated as a joke, refusing to go ahead with the streaker bit.
Despite his initial reservations, Cena fulfilled his presenting duties in a unique way. Standing at the microphone, Cena appeared nearly naked, strategically covering himself with an Oscars envelope. His unconventional outfit choice added a touch of humor to the evening, setting a playful tone for the ceremony.
When it was time to announce the winner for best costume design, Cena playfully hesitated to reveal the contents of the envelope. Kimmel stepped in to ensure the nomination reel was showcased, leading to a comical moment that left the audience in stitches.
During the award presentation, a video captured by The Hollywood Reporter’s Chris Gardner showed a stage crew swiftly intervening to drape a curtain over Cena as the ceremony continued. Despite the unexpected turn of events, Cena’s presence at the Oscars was certainly a highlight of the evening.
The coveted award for best costume design eventually went to Yorgos Lanthimos‘ film featuring Emma Stone in a leading role. The recognition marked a significant achievement in the world of film, celebrating the creative efforts of talented individuals in the industry.
As Cena’s amusing appearance came to an end, the 2024 Oscars wrapped up with a mix of laughter and appreciation for the entertainment industry’s thriving spirit. The event showcased a blend of glamour, talent, and unexpected moments, making it a night to remember for all attendees.
