Being at Oscars 2022 was one of the most happening things for snowboarding legend Shaun White’s post-retirement. However, it would have been more exhilarating for him if Nina had come along. Unfortunately, the actress had some filming project going on in Europe and Shaun took his mom as his date for the Oscars 2022.

Well, celebrities sometimes try out different outfits for the red carpet. But going to the Oscars in a swimsuit sounds kind of impossible for someone like Nina Dobrev. However, one thing is for sure, the fan who did it perhaps had some great Photoshop skills.

The three-time Olympic gold medalist is currently living the best phase of his life. He has given enough to the sport. And now he wants to cherish some time with his loved ones without any hustle. It’s pretty unlikely that he will return, as he is happy where he is at this point in time.

On the question of a comeback, Shaun said, “So many people messaged me his like, ‘I belong on the field,’ I was like, ‘ugh, do I belong on the snow?,'” White joked. “I don’t know. I need a minute. I’m enjoying every bit of this, so, it would take me a bit longer to get re-motivated to do something like that, but no I’m gonna enjoy this. I’m done. I’m good.”
