- John Cena's on-stage nudity at the Oscars reportedly outshone the event's explicit love scenes in terms of mortifying spectacle.
At his bare-all stint at the recent Oscars, actor and wrestler John Cena admitted he'd never felt more mortified in his professional life. Speaking on the "Club Shay Shay" podcast, the 47-year-old reminisced about his Oscar moment back in March. "I was among the most esteemed actors, producers, and directors in one room," he shared. "And there I was, exposing myself to the world, shielding my private parts with a notecard, asking: 'Is this amusing for you all?'"
Cena had taken off his clothes to present the award for Best Costume Design at the 96th Academy Awards. The idea had struck him as hilarious, thanks to host Jimmy Kimmel, and he considered himself lucky to have been given the task, he divulged.
He went on to compare his Oscar experience with filming explicit scenes, which he had previously rated as the most shameful. With numerous crew members and even those present during intimate moments, such situations can be embarrassing, he stated.
People worldwide discussed John Cena's daring act at the Oscars, with many expressing their admiration for his courage. Despite feeling mortified during his presentation, Cena recognized that exposing himself was a unique experience he shared with an esteemed group of individuals in the film industry.
