Shaun White is soaking up his first-ever Academy Awards experience!

The retired professional snowboarder is a presenter at the 2022 Oscars, and he opened up about the honor on the red carpet while speaking with E! Live from the Red Carpet host Laverne Cox on Sunday.

"I'm really excited, and I'm getting to present a James Bond 60th anniversary package with some other amazing athletes, Tony Hawk and Kelly Slater. So it's gonna be great," said White, 35.

Among the celebrities he's looking forward to meeting? Billie Eilish, who's up alongside brother Finneas O'Connell for Best Original Song, for "No Time to Die" from No Time to Die.

And also Jessica Chastain — "a fellow redhead," White said about the star, who's nominated for Best Actress for her role in The Eyes of Tammy Faye.

The three-time Olympic gold medalist announced last month that the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing would serve as his final competition before retiring from professional snowboarding.

When asked what she thought of his retirement, White's mother Cathy, whom he brought as his date to the Dolby Theatre on Sunday, joked to Cox, 49, with a laugh, "I was thinking about that, 'cause I'm not gonna support him anymore!"
