John Cena shocked the 2024 Oscars when he presented the award without any clothes on to mock the best costume design award

John Cena wore the most daring outfit to the 2024 Oscars — his birthday suit.

The “SuiciԀe Squad” actor stepped out on stage without clothes while ironically presenting the award for best costume design to the 2023 film “Poor Things” starring Emma Stone.

Originally, he was supposed to pay homage to the 1974 Oscar streaker with host Jimmy Kimmel but backed out last minute.

Kimmel, 56, set up the skit, explaining the awards show was the “50th anniversary of what used to be the craziest moment in Oscar history.”

“At the 46th Academy Award 1974, David Nivin was in the middle of introducing Elizabeth Taylor when a nu.Ԁe man ran across the stage,” the comedian said.

“Can you imagine if a nu.Ԁe man ran across the stage today?” he continued, seemingly giving Cena the “go” to run across the stage sans clothes.

After a moment of silence, he tried again: “I said, can you imagine if a nu,Ԁe man ran across the stage today? Wouldn’t that be c.rаzy.”

Cena, 46, then propped his head out from behind the stage set with his face full of regret.

Calling Kimmel over to him, the actor said, “I changed my mind, I don’t want to do the streaker bit anymore.
