CNN —John Cena literally bared it all at the Oscars on Sunday. The actor appeared on stage during the telecast to present the award for best costume design hilariously appearing to wear nothing at all. No really, Cena appeared on the stage at the year’s most prestigious event in Hollywood… almost entirely naked. “Dude, I don’t wrestle naked,” Cena said. “I wrestle in jorts!”“Jorts are worse than naked!” Kimmel said as the audience laughed.

Speed demons wearing Nike Vaporflys and short-shorts mingled with casual runners wearing “Monsters, Inc.” onesies. That’s the record I’m going for. Running is therapeutic, even though I’m going to be running really, really slowly.
