Jimmy Kimmel's latest stunt involving a naked John Cena presenting the award for Best Costume Design at the Oscars has garnered significant attention. Kimmel revealed that ABC executives were initially 'terrified' by the idea and demanded a bigger envelope to ensure Cena's modesty was preserved. The concept, which involved Cena appearing nude but with his lower half obscured, led to 'intense discussions' and scrutiny before it was finalized, particularly concerning 'the envelope.' Dwayne Johnson, a guest on Kimmel's show, shared his experience of running into a 'naked' Cena backstage, while producers disclosed the efforts made to keep Cena covered and the challenges they faced in executing the skit.
