The Oscars are the most awaited awards each year. Only a few are lucky enough to get invited to the red carpet event. While most of these are actors and people involved with the Academy, there are few who get invited based on their talent. Shaun White is one of them. The 3-time Olympic champion was named as one of the presenters this year at the Oscars.
At first, it was assumed that girlfriend Nina Dobrev would accompany Shaun White to the Oscars. However, White has revealed that Nina could not be there for the awards. Therefore, White took his beloved mother to the Academy Awards. And it’s safe to say, the two had a blast!

In a hilarious incident, Cathy White stepped on Rosie Perez’s dress.
“Mom, what just happened? You stepped on Rosie Perez’s dress?” asked White. Cathy replied in full panic mode saying “I stepped on Rosie Perez’s dress.”
“She was like ‘excuse me, excuse me’ and I wasn’t to pay attention and she couldn’t move, she was stuck,” revealed Cathy White. However, these are all part of the fun and the incident was not intentional.

Such incidents happen sometimes and are no big deal. Shaun reassured his mother by saying that it was completely okay.
“That’s okay. It’s gonna happen. It’s gonna happen, just say sorry and we move on,” reassured Shaun.
