Margot Robbie's Reaction to Naked John Cena at Oscars Goes Viral

Margot Robbie's stunned reaction to a nude John Cena at the Academy Awards is taking over the internet.

Before presenting the award for Best Costume on Sunday night, Cena and host Jimmy Kimmel paid tribute to the infamous Oscar streaker, who stunned the audience with his naked form in 1974.

Creeping across the stage, the only thing hiding the wrestler's manhood was the envelope revealing the winner.

Robbie clearly found the scene hilarious. After being shared by the account @FilmUpdates, a screenshot of the actress' shocked grin went viral on X, formerly Twitter, receiving over 420,000 views in less than two hours.

Newsweek reached out to John Cena, Margot Robbie and Jimmy Kimmel for comment via email.

The Context

Kimmel honored the 50th anniversary of streaker Robert Opel darting nude across the stage with a clip of the memorable moment.

The stunt confused presenter David Niven and shocked viewers watching at home, with Niven telling the crowd that's: "Probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings."

Setting up Cena's entrance to present the Best Costume award, Kimmel said: "Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? Wouldn't that be crazy?"

However, the WWE star didn't appear. The host repeated the line, causing Cena to poke his head out from the wings and tell Kimmel he'd changed his mind about their streaker gag.

"I just don't feel right about it man," Cena said, feigning trepidation. "This is an elegant event, you know. Honestly you should feel shame right now for suggesting such a tasteless idea."

"It's supposed to be funny," Kimmel shot back, to which Cena fiercely replied: "The male body is not a joke."

The retort sparked a heated debate between the pair, with Kimmel insinuating that the actor "wrestles naked."

"I wrestle in Jorts!" the 46-year-old replied, with Kimmel yelling back: "Jorts is worse than naked!"

Eventually, Cena made his way over to the microphone to present the award, telling the crowd: "Costumes are...so important."

With Cena unable to open the envelope without flashing the audience, the ceremony cut to a montage showcasing the five nominees.

During the brief intermission, a curtain was wrapped around the bodybuilder, styled like a toga. Mostly covered, Cena finally bestowed the Best Costume gong to Poor Things' Holly Waddington.

Although Cena appeared nude, backstage photos showed the star wearing something flesh-colored over his private parts.
