John Cena, one of the greatest wrestlers in the industry, has been busy with his Hollywood career. The superstar has appeared in several films throughout the years, and he even briefly appeared as Merman Ken. This has led him to become an attendee at the Oscars.
A little while back, the ‘Hustle, Loyal, Respect Soldier’ appeared at the 96th Academy Awards, where he was seen walking to the stage naked. Fans were surprised by this moment, and ‘The Champ’ has been going viral on different social media platforms due to taking such a daring step.

The 96th Academy Award was opened by host Jimmy Kimmel, who lightened the mood with a few jokes and spoke on different social topics. After a while, Kimmel brought up the 1974 Oscars, where a man was seen naked and ran onto the stage, disrupting presenter David Niven. Just as Jimmy wanted to move on with the topic, John Cena surprised the world when he appeared naked onto the stage with an envelope covering his private parts.

“It’s an elegant event. Honestly, you should feel ashamed right now for suggesting such a tasteless idea,” Cena said, “The male body is not a joke! Costumes they are so important. Maybe the most important thing there is”
Kimmel then went on to give Cena the winner’s name envelope, and the ‘Cenation Leader’ started attending the guests. His funny interaction with the audience caused a wave of laughter in the stadium.

A few minutes later, the lights were dimmed and he revealed the names of the nominees for the category of the award. After they were switched on, the 46-year-old was seen fully covered in a ball gown, and Jimmy Kimmel was seen helping him adjust to the costume.
Has John Cena ever been nominated for an Oscar?
John Cena has been nominated 15 times in various award shows, but until now, he has never been nominated for the Oscars. Cena’s first nomination was at the ‘Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, UK,’ held in 2007, and fans were eager to see the superstar win the award, which, unfortunately, did not happen. The OnlyFans star again got nominated for the Kids Choice Award, in 2020 for ‘Best TV Host’ and in 2022 for ‘Best Movie Actor.’
A huge congratulations and THANK YOU to @Nickelodeon, Mark Burnett, and our producing partners for creating a wonderful family-based, educational and FUN show! A great experience and thrilled to hear it was nominated for such an honor. https://t.co/umDpbEdEMz

Some other nominations include the “Daytime Emmy Awards” for ‘Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?’ in 2022, the “MTV Movie + TV Awards” for Peacemaker in 2022, and finally, the “People’s Choice Awards, USA,” where he was nominated three times for F9: The Fast Saga and Blockers.
John Cena, who is promoting his movie in OnlyFans, is currently focusing on his movie career and has been out of wrestling for some time. Fans hope to see the superstar one day get an Academy Award for being one of the greatest talents in both wrestling and acting.
