[April Fools Day Story 2009] At a press conference today Shaun White announced that he is going to ditch his runs at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver so he can focus on his acting, according to a story on Methodmag.com.
White has apparently signed a “multi-million dollar deal with Fox Searchlight Pictures to star alongside Miley Cyrus in a feature film about a snowboarder who “foils a terrorist plot to set off a dirty bomb during the Winter Olympics.”
White seemed enthusiastic not only about his new career, but also about filming alongside Miley Cyrus, who has been cast as his love interest in the upcoming blockbuster, whose working title is “White Heat”. “I can’t wait till principal photography starts, I will miss competing but I’ve been doing contests for as long as I can remember and the time is right to start a new phase of my life and career”, explained the young superstar. White’s main sponsor, Burton Snowboards, decided to continue to support him despite the “Flying Tomato’s” (as he is commonly referred to) decision to forego competitive snowboarding.
According to Methodmag, White Heat will be in theaters in early 2010 “just in time for the Winter Olympics.”
