In fact, the actor was not naked after all.
One of the most unusual moments of the 96th Academy Awards ceremony was the presentation of the statuette in the Best Costume category. The winner was announced by actor and wrestler John Cena, who appeared on stage almost naked.
Cena only covered himself with a very large convention with the name of the award winner. The actor's missing costume is a reference to an incident many years ago: a naked man ran across the stage during the Academy Awards.
True, Sina did not have to freeze: after a short insert, he appeared on the screen already in a toga. Here's what it looked like on the broadcast.
And this is how John Cena’s transformation looked for the audience in the Dolby cinema itself, where the Oscars were presented. To quickly dress the actor, it took a small team of costume designers and the help of Jimmy Kimmel, the master of ceremonies.
In case you were wondering, John Cena wasn't allowed on stage completely naked after all. Photos from people at the awards show showed Cena wearing flesh-colored pads – albeit very small ones.
