The awkward moment was planned marking the 50th anniversary of one of the most infamous Oscar moments from 1974 when Roberto Opel walked on the stage naked.
Before welcoming Cena on the stage, Kimmel asked the audience referencing the most awkward moment of the Oscars,'' Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? I said, can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? Wouldn’t that be crazy?”
We soon see Cena popping out his head from the backstageas he tries to hide himself, “I changed my mind. I don’t want to do the streaker bit anymore.You should feel ashamed right now for suggesting such a tasteless idea.”
After a fun banter, Kimmel invited Cena to present the award to the best costume designer, and then it was the moment when Cena finally took centre stage all naked, with a large envelope covering his private part and wearing a pair of sandals.
