Cena took the stage wearing granola sandals (are those Birkenstocks?) and nothing else, as confirmed by Puck’s Matthew Belloni, who posted some rather NSFW evidence over on Twitter. Cena has been nearly naked in movies like “Trainwreck” and shows like “Peacemaker,” and the outfits he wore as a wrestler didn’t exactly leave a ton to the imagination, but this little stunt is a seriously ballsy — er, gutsy move. Cena was sometimes hit-or-miss as a wrestler but really won many fans over when he made the move to more traditional acting, and his ability to be truly lovable in the most absurd moments is truly something to be applauded.

Actually, the excellence of this bit gives me a great idea: What if we have Cena host the show next year? He knows how to read from a teleprompter, has the charisma, and just showed that he has the dedication and can-do spirit. He’s also a talented pianist who most recently showed off his skills tickling the ivories on “Peacemaker,” so there’s plenty of potential for fun musical numbers outside of the Best Original Song performances. I don’t think that he would be able to wear the same outfit he wore to tonight’s show, but at least he’d have an excuse not to repeat it: Re-wearing your Oscar outfit is always a fashion faux-pas.
