According to a show producer, John Cena’s audacious presence at the Oscars sparked quite a fuss, but he wasn’t actually nаked. Walt Disney broadcast senior VP Rob Mills revealed that special precautions were made to protect Cena’s modesty on live broadcast.
The presenter’s “crack” was concealed, and the packet he clutched was tightly Velcroed to avoid mistakes. The Federal Communications Commission’s guidelines for nudity on live TV were scrupulously followed, with no bulges or fissures permitted.
The decision to display a specified amount of skin sparked controversy between ABC producers and the FCC, who were concerned about potential complaints and fines. Despite the drama, the humorous moment was done well while maintaining the show’s character.
Cena, known for his on-screen antics, handled the awkward occasion with confidence and courage. Another unforgettable event of the evening was Ryan Gosling’s stunning performance of “I’m Just Ken” from Barbie, which had been planned for months. Barbie did not win an Oscar for costume design, although the film did garner eight nominations and won Best Original Song.
