John Mayer explained why he went to the Oscars with Jennifer Aniston. Although John Mayer is (shhh) supposed to be out of the spotlight now, he still (shocker) found time to babble about Hollywood and attending the Oscars with Jennifer Aniston. He says he felt like a water boy when he walked into the Kodak theater on Oscar night.

He told Ryan Seacrest via USWeekly:

“It’s not my world, the Oscar thing. You can go from a Grammy winner to a water boy when you walk in the Kodak Theatre on Oscar night,” he added. “That’s just like a whole different level. As men, we’re incredibly sensitive about the decisions that we make with the women that we’re with. I’m the kind of person who’s like: If I’m going out with a friend who’s bringing a woman and that friend brings another friend and I have to sit on one side of the table with that other person I don’t know, I have a terrible time because I always feel like people look by and go, ‘Oh, look who he’s with! The whole thing is very odd to me,” he added. “I maybe need to grow up or something.”

John then plays coy and tries to pretend like the reason he dates all these Hollywood actresses isn’t because he’s really just fame-hungry and star struck.

So the idea of walking down a red carpet is such … you know that forever, I basically stepped into the picture frame of Hollywood,” Mayer continued. “For one night, I put on the most amazing suit and entered into the picture frame. You have to really be with someone that you know who has your back in that situation, and she did, and it was really great. I think a year is a pretty good period of time with which to say, ‘Let’s go have a really good time at the Oscars!’
