Shaun White is a man of many talents. He is not only a snowboarding legend but also has a mind for business, his own rock band, and even an acting career. He may not be as famous on the silver screen as his girlfriend Nina Dobrev, but White has played some iconic roles. 

For example, his role in the 2011 film ‘Friends With Benefits alongside Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis is certainly a fan favorite. With his long flowing red hair that earned him the nickname ‘Flying Tomato’, watching the Olympic champion absolutely flip out on Timberlake’s character is one for the books.

Throwback to Shaun White playing himself

In the movie ‘Friends With Benefits’, Shaun White’s role may not be complicated as he plays his shining snowboarding superstar self, but his personality certainly took a turn. White embodies the character of Mila Kunis’ enraged friend that really wants to beat up Justin Timberlake.

In 2018, he even posted a throwback on Facebook, tagging Justin Timberlake with the caption, “Anyone remember this? Hahaha”. The clip he attached was a scene from the movie where Timberlake’s character meets White for the first time.
