Oscars 2024. John Cena naked presents the award for costume design
This time, no one wanted to appear naked, and John Cena – a wrestler and actor who was recently seen in the film “Barbie” nominated for several Oscars – poked his head out from behind the curtain – he played Ken the mermaid. The men bantered for a while because Cena “changed his mind”, but eventually he came out from behind the stage, protected only by a large envelope.
