Oscars 2017: 'Lion' Star Sunny Pawar Totally Owned The Red Carpet

And he's only eight years old!

Eight-year-old Sunny Pawar just won the Oscars red carpet.

On Sunday, the “Lion” star attended the Academy Awards wearing a classy black suit and green-and-yellow sneakers. The young star posed for photographers with confidence and ease, giving them smiles and waves galore.

Not only did he flash the peace sign to the crowds...

But he also adjusted his bowtie like a boss.

I’m excited and great honour to be here,” Pawar told Ryan Seacrest on the E! red carpet via a translator.

The eight-year-old stars in the Oscar-nominated film “Lion,” which tells the real-life story of a five-year-old Indian boy who accidentally gets separated from his family. Years later, he uses Google Earth to try and find them.

Unsurprisingly, the Oscars isn’t Pawar's first red carpet event. He also attended the Golden Globes last month where he and “Lion” co-star Dev Patel won over everyone watching.

Now that the young star is a veteran on the red carpet, he has no problem charming all the celebrities in Hollywood, including Chrissy Teigen.

And he's also admitted that he's ready to party.

Pawar is definitely a shining star!
