John Cena Goes Nude At The Oscars In Honor Of Oscars Streaker

John Cena made a bold appearance at the Oscar Awards. In a skit led by host Jimmy Kimmel, Kimmel played a clip of a streaker who ran across the stage behind David Niven at the Oscars in 1974.

“Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? I said, can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? Wouldn’t that be crazy?” Kimmel said.

Cena poked his head out from behind the wings and called Kimmel over.

The two shared playful banter, all part of the skit, where Cena said he didn’t “want to do the streaker bit anymore.”

Kimmel expressed frustration at Cena, eventually convincing him to come out. Covering his groin area with the Best Costume Design envelope, Cena stepped on stage wearing nothing but sandals.

“Costumes are so important,” he said. “Maybe the most important.”

Audiences laughed and cheered at the irony of the situation. Kimmel returned to the stage and took over for Cena since Cena could not remove the envelope without flashing the audience. A crew ran out to cover Cena in a pink curtain fastened like a toga.
