Just a month after his final run at the Beijing Winter Olympics, Shaun White hit the red carpet at the 94th Oscars.
The 35-year-old snowboarder and skateboarder was among the new presenters announced by The Academy last week, including skateboarder Tony Hawk, surfer Kelly Slater, DJ Khaled and more.
White hit the red carpet on Sunday afternoon, not with his girlfriend Nina Dobrev, but with his mother Cathy, while sharing a brief video on his Instagram story before arriving.
