Behind-the-scenes pictures reveal whether John Cena was really naked at the Oscars

The WWE star donned his birthday suit for the awards ceremony.

People's questions about John Cena at last night's Oscars have finally been answered.

The WWE wrestler and Ricky Stanicky star rocked up to last night's prestigious awards (March 10) in nothing but his birthday suit.

While I'm sure we can all agree that the actor has the body of a Greek god, he didn't seemingly forget his clothes to show off his impressive physique, but as a part of a skit with Jimmy Kimmel.

Things got started as Kimmel made reference to an infamous incident in Oscars history.

At the 46th Academy Awards in 1974, a streaker called Robert Opel ran across the stage during the ceremony.

Kimmel kept saying how crazy it would be if a streaker was to run across the stage again, giving Cena his cue.

The 46-year-old then sheepishly shuffled across the stage in nothing but Birkenstocks and a large envelope seemingly covering his private parts.

People were quick to question if Cena was actually naked, and behind-the scenes photos have revealed all.

In one snap of the actor from behind, he's seen with what could only be described as a piece of nude-colored cloth covering his front parts (if you catch my gist), all the way back to the top of his buttocks.

Aside from that and his sandals, he was completely naked - and you can't help but admire his dedication and bravery to performing the risqué bit.

While many - Margot Robbie included - found the skit amusing, others hit out at the Oscars for allowing it in light of children potentially watching the Awards.

"I wonder if @JohnCena is going to apologize to the parents of the children that watched his naked ass onstage at the Oscars," one person said.

"No surprise that John Cena is walking on stage naked at the Oscars during prime time TV that children are most likely watching," fumed another.

Another angry invidiual penned: "The John Cena stuff is truly sickening. This man has children that looks up to him from his time in the WWE. I bet he blows up even more after that disgusting stunt at The Oscars."

UNILAD has approached Cena's representatives and The Oscars for comment.
