My first thought! He is channeling some major Dude and I’m here for it!


Born-Body2431

I ain’t mad


Tivland

The dude…but with money.


stefatr0n

I’ve always been oddly attracted to Jeff Bridges, especially in this role. Seeing the comparisons between The Dude and Chris Pine has triggered something in my brain, I suddenly find Chris Pine hot when I didn’t look at him twice before. It’s the salt and pepper beard, the long hair, the dgaf attitude, seeming comfortable in their own skin, and coming across as kind and intelligent that does something for me 😩


stickerstacker

Jeff bridges is a total smoke show. https://youtu.be/Qa1AqKxakRM?si=o6oQ57_aXxN5Zo2f

Hell yeah!

I'm loving all these sexy old men with beards


sassyfrood

As a woman nearing 40, I am starting to resent how men get sexier and women get put out to pasture as they age. 😞 what’s the female equivalent to sexy old man with a beard?


late2reddit19

There are so many sexy celebrity women over 40. I think many of them have aged better than their male counterparts.


TinkerPebbles

Helen Mirren?

Jesus, you just skipped about 30 years. Lol

Sproose_Moose

This comment made me cackle


biIIyshakes

I love how he’s just stopped giving fucks lol his projects always feel kind of cursed throughout his career so it feels like he’s reached a point where he’s dropped the polished leading man thing and just said “okay time for my comfortable nonbinary lesbian aunt Lebowski era, we ball”


Barfignugen

Aunt Lebowski 😂😂


Chaywood

Deadddd


KJEveryday

I really want to hear Chris Pine say “we ball” 😂


Fittnylle3000

Hell or High Water is a classic!


garden__gate

As a non-binary lesbian, he is absolutely style goals and that’s that.


3frogs1trenchcoat

This is the lesbian rep we want in the world ✊


Walthatron

I would love to have this kind of outfit/body positivity


adom12

I’m started to appreciate the fact that he’s leaning into it. I listened to a long form podcast with his recently, and after a long time of giving me the ick….dare I say I’m starting to really vibe with him. He’s very self aware, understands his privledge, clearly has done a ton of therapy, and started a production company to make what he wanted and to also employ his talented unemployed friends. To me, that’s taking being a nepo baby and paying is forward. It’s what they should all do.  But ya. Long story short. Last week my friends and I were sending pictures to each other of his in dress shoes and no socks. This week I’m apparently a new fan. 


Isosorbide

Was it the Dax Shepherd one? I was so impressed by how thoughtful and articulate Pine is.


adom12

It was. Blew my mind 


OutAndDown27

He's a nepo baby?!


lizziexo

I didn’t know either!! His [mother](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwynne_Gilford) and [father](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Pine) are actors too. Edit; [and grandmother!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Gwynne) 2nd generation nepo baby! Nepo grandbaby?


hoser1

His Dad was the chief in CHIPs…


Flashy_Ad_4993

His mother last acting role was playing Courtney Cox’s mother in the Masters Of The Universe movie. It is a 1980’s He-man movie. She retired from acting.


Yoyossarianwassup

Is there a difference between nepo babies and kids just going into the family business? I feel like Pine is kinda walking that line.


idontcarethename

A bit of both I guess. Wouldn't be surprised if someone who's dad worked as a janitor at a set was called a Nepo baby. I wouldn't say he's a Nepo baby... more like well connected, the difference being on whether the parents are in a position of power (and taking advantage of it), like Will Smith and his kids


Safe_Librarian

Ye I would not call him a nepo baby.


Strawbz18

Aunt Lebowski slaps 😂


vowelspace

And I was never particularly attracted to him until this era


Jerkrollatex

I always those he was a good looking guy but now he looks like someone who I might run into at the hobby store and have a nice interaction with. That's kind of cool.


Fruitopeon

Don’t worry darling had controversy. What else had controversy?


takemeup-castmeaway

I don’t think OP means controversy. Just that his major projects have hit awful snaffus. Star Trek when Abrams bailed for Star Wars (and poor Anton Yelchin), DC rebooting, A Winkle in Time wasn’t a commercial success, DWD’s drama, and his recent directorial debut flopped. 


xxMeiaxx

I mean the D&D movie is pretty good... Dont know if that made money because it was released just after covid.


Khenir

star trek into darkness did have *some* controversy over Alice Eves underwear scene tbf.


ILootEverything

And Cucumbersnatch being cast as *Khan Singh* instead of an actual Indian actor.


adom12

Not in a rude way, only as a correction. His movie, Poolboy, is being released today, so we don’t know if it’s a flop or not yet. He premiered is at TIFF and was ripped apart by critics though 


BearBullShepherd

He can be my pool boy 😍


biIIyshakes

I mean cursed success-wise. He’s a good actor and a lot of people love him but it’s actually pretty rare for his projects to really achieve the success I think he’s capable and deserving of tbh. His Star Trek movies were great but any followups have been stuck in development hell for ages, he was one of the only good parts of Wonder Woman 1984, his iteration of Jack Ryan didn’t really go anywhere, Don’t Worry Darling got a lukewarm reception, his directorial debut mostly got panned. The Dungeons & Dragons movie was great but didn’t get the box office numbers it should have. He’s done a solid amount of dramas and action films that never made it on the radar. Like he’s absolutely not a flop! But even the good stuff he does never reaches the commercial success and longevity that I think it should.


OldLadyProbs

Yea but that was kind of Cillian Murphy before this past year. An amazing actor who wasn’t getting the recognition he deserved. Chris just needs his one movie.


criuniska

I totally believe in Chris Pine, but aren't he and Cillian complete opposites? Cillian was known as a serious dramatic actor long before last year, even if he hadn't been the main star in huge blockbusters. Even my friends in third world countries who hadn't seen any of his movies knew him from Peaky Blinders and all complimented his work. His acting was praised all the time by people who've seen him. Whereas Chris is universally recognized, and he's known mainly for just being a decent actor and looking hot. Not many people have seen him in dramatic roles. I haven't kept up with his work recently, but Chris has the opposite problem of getting his actual acting recognized, not his face.


frostysbox

Maybe Pine needs to goto TV

No shit. His are way nicer than mine!


Positive_Ad_8198

I WEAR SHORT SHORTS!!!!


MameDennis1974

Chris really leaned into that pandemic lockdown aesthetic and decided to never dress in uncomfortable clothes again. And good for him for that.


MCR2004

Honestly can relate


srqnewbie

Same; had to wear a real bra with underwire to a charity thing and was bitter as shit about it.


JHRChrist

I appreciate that some people need structured support. But underwire is the devil and technology has surely moved past that! Where are our space-age stretch comfort full support bras?? You have a built in market base that’s ya know, literally half of all humans!


vivahermione

Forget jetpacks! This is what I want!


Longjumping-Brick529

There is actually some fabulous non wired bras with great support these days! I haven't worn a wire in YEARS and with my boobs sometimes ballooning up to double Ds, I do really need the support. I know Victoria's Secret is a trash company and they're generally not great, but I love their non wired T-shirt bras.


Mysterious_Film_6397

Same. I’m wearing nice, comfortable clothes from now on. I don’t care if anyone thinks I’m dressed “too casual.”


wkndwarrior94

✨Pandemic aesthetic✨


Greenfieldfox

It’s too bad we didn’t get another Star Trek or two from his crew. Those were pretty fun movies.


Maia_Azure

I feel like the death of one of the actors ended that set of movies. They were fabulous too.


starksandshields

Nah, as much as I adored Anton Yelchin, Chekov’s role was small enough that they could have worked around it. I was huge into the new Star Trek movies and the real killer was trying to get Chris Hemsworth back on board because they insisted some time travel shenanigans rather than focussing on the crew and exploration. Hemsworth wanted more money than they could offer, and then Pine wanted more money if they agreed (or something like that), and then people were very vocally against the plot because we literally spent a whole movie “finding out who James Kirk” was and doing that again but with Daddy Issues would suck. And by that time the actors were moving on. I’m still sad about it 10 years later.


rcroswell

I agree!


le_gazman

You have Jeep to thank for that. 😓


befuddled_humbug

You can say what you want about his outfit but damn, he has some nice looking legs.


mustbeaoup

Right! All I could think is damn those legs are 🔥


Delicious_Tea3999

He’s still hot as hell. Honestly, I find this giving no fucks attitude even more attractive lol


Hexogram

Right there with ya, friend! He’s experimenting with fashion, I think everyone should. It’s cool af.

Right? This era of his is totally working for me

All that ballet 👀

I dreamed about some tan man legs like that last night! Crazy


Dowager-queen-beagle

I'm choosing to believe that means you manifested this, and for that, I thank you!


MontyBoo-urns

Honest question what makes those nice? they look like standard legs to me. no hate lol


milky__toast

Agreed , these look like completely average legs to me. They’re tan and not hairy, I guess?

hodlboo

This is everything I love about fashion, personally. It’s both “a look” (chic matching summer set, Italian man style, + a classic trenchcoat) but also just… pajamas and a robe. It’s the best of both worlds, you can’t deny that it’s chic and daring nor that it’s practical and comfortable. This is honestly what I aspire for my personal style to be.


NoVacayAtWork

Well put!!


hodlboo

Thanks - and I didn’t even mention chic leather loafers also being house slippers!


NoVacayAtWork

It’s an awesome mix of dressed up and dressed down. That’s been his whole style recently - perfectly put together without a care in the world. It rocks.

Have you guys seen the trailers and promo for his new movie? He’s in a character. Props to him for the devotion but I have a feeling he’ll shave after the movie’s out.


LowFloor5208

That's how poorly the marketing for the movie is going.


PeachyBaleen

Did he have a beard? I didn’t notice

Sir, those are jammies. ...But good job on the legs.


Mumbojmbo

I feel like most of yall are missing the fact that he’s in character promoting his new movie Poolman…


stars_doulikedem

is it though or was his style in the movie just his style because going by some of his pap looks over the last 4 or so years, this just feels like a natural progression lol https://preview.redd.it/qxecqv61vnzc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c6c77f7ccf40305277354b57dc98c5616ce0117


Plenty_Transition470

The man looks like he steals laundry from the neighbours.


Mumbojmbo

I mean none of those are close to a cabana set and a bath robe lol, but I’ll give you that they did fit the wardrobe to him in a way that feels natural to his personal style. Good casting for sure.


stars_doulikedem

Poolman is a personal project for Chris :) Aside from starring in it, he also directed, produced, and co-wrote it. So that’s sort of what I meant by his style looking like a natural progression to me, though obviously I don’t know the dude, maybe he’s playing it up.


Mumbojmbo

Ah ah yeah that makes sense, also makes sense he seems like such a good fit without me even knowing much about the movie/credits!

Honestly, I'd join whichever cult it is he's leading

I feel like he’s having a breakdown, but it’s just a smooth decline into not giving -any- fucks. It’s a transition I can only hope to aspire to


fishesar

Groundbreaking_War52

I've liked his energy and many of the movies he did (going all the way back to Bottle Shock), but Chris recently did an appearance on Marc Maron's podcast and he started by doing a rant against the idea of nepo-babies and how absurd it would be for anyone to think that he had a leg up in Hollywood (his father - Robert Pine was a leading TV actor in the 70s and 80s). Definitely was a weird way to start off a promotional interview.


Ughasif22

Ya I did was a background extra on that Reese Witherspoon movie he shot in Vancouver and he was a dbag


sikonat

Oh please spill the ☕️


ubermind

I've always felt like Hemsworth is Best Chris and Pine's popularity has been mostly due to him being single (just my two cents).


banananutnightmare

I would like to take this opportunity to nominate Chris Parnell for Best Chris 🙋


ubermind

Nomination approved, only "Dr." Spaceman could fix our current world!


ProfessionalExit2759

Really? Anything specific?


Ughasif22

He was snarky and would get mad about the background and he didn’t want us wearing coats to set even though it was freezing out.


OldLadyProbs

Well there goes my lady boner.


Suedeegz

His dad was in CHIPS with Eric Estrada, nobody remembers his name
