Actor-wrestler John Cena made a memorable entrance at the 96th Academy Awards, emphasizing the significance of costumes in films by choosing not to wear one himself.

His decision prompted cheers and laughter from the audience, notably Margot Robbie, as he walked onto the stage partially naked. Cena joined host Jimmy Kimmel to present the award for Best Costume Design.

The iconic moment unfolded as Jimmy Kimmel humorously pondered aloud to the Oscars audience:

“Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? Wouldn’t that be crazy?”

Just then, John Cena playfully emerged from the corner of the stage. Kimmel swiftly reconsidered, stating,

“I changed my mind. I don’t want to do the streaker bit. I just don’t feel right about it. It’s an elegant event, you know, you should feel shame right now for suggesting such a tasteless joke.”

In response, Cena humorously quipped,

“The male body is not a joke,” while appearing on stage with a strategically placed oversized envelope. Costumes, they are so important. Maybe the most important thing there is,” eliciting another round of laughter from the audience.

Similar to the seated audience at the Oscars, John Cena’s daring move also captivated the internet. Within moments, X (previously known as Twitter) was flooded with tweets praising the wrestler turned actor. One fan tweeted,

“No matter what anyone says, john cena commits #Oscars.”

Another shared the clip of Barbie star Margot Robbie bursting into a laughter moments after John Cena’s entry on stage. The caption read,
