Wrestler and Hollywood heartthrob John Cena appeared on stage completely naked at the Oscars, sparking a frenzy among viewers. The 46-year-old actor, known for his roles in movies like Barbie and alongside Dua Lipa, made a bold statement as he presented the award for Best Costume Design.
Cena, wearing only Birkenstocks and holding an envelope labeled “Costume Design” over his manhood, left the audience in stitches with his comedic presentation. As he approached the microphone, he uttered the word “Costumes…” before continuing to emphasize the importance of costume design, much to the delight of stars like Margot Robbie and Carey Mulligan in the audience.
The Best Costume Design award eventually went to Yorgos Lanthimos’ film Poor Things starring Emma Stone, but Cena’s nearly-nude appearance stole the spotlight. Photos taken backstage at the Oscars later revealed that Cena was not entirely naked, as he was wearing a nude-colored codpiece and pads to cover up his backside and genitals.
Despite the comedic nature of Cena’s appearance, some right-wing commentators and social media trolls criticized it as a sign of societal decline. Self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate went as far as to suggest that Cena was fulfilling a “humiliation ritual” for his supposed “gay paymasters.” However, Cena, with a net worth of around $80 million, is unlikely to be affected by such criticism.
On social media, fans expressed their admiration for Cena’s bold move, with one user commenting, “I’m foaming at the mouth over John Cena.” Another user commended Cena for his allyship with the LGBTQ+ community, noting that a young gay person watching the Oscars with their family would have connected the dots thanks to Cena’s appearance.
While some criticized Cena’s stunt, many praised him for embracing his comedic side and bringing joy to the audience. Cena himself shared a message on social media before the Oscars began, expressing his gratitude for life’s opportunities and vowing to give his all.
In the end, Cena’s naked Oscars appearance may have caused a stir, but it also brought laughter and joy to viewers. As one fan put it, Cena truly gave “the gays everything he could.” And in a world where acceptance and inclusivity are valued, Cena’s bold move was a reminder that entertainment can bring people together in unexpected ways.
