Chris Pine BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Chris Pine has been everywhere these past few days and let’s say his signature blend of cool and quirky is in full force. Making headlines, Pine showed up at the Los Angeles premiere of his directorial debut Poolman rocking tiny corduroy shorts, an “I Heart LA” tee, tube socks, hiking boots, and a single flower on his lapel. The look was a nod to his Poolman character, Darren Barrenman, a spirited LA pool cleaner, and threw the red carpet for a loop, reminiscent of Tom Selleck’s short-shorts era. On Jimmy Kimmel Live, Pine let slip that his style is about comfort and joy, admitting he’s spent more fixing his favorite $5 shorts than they were worth, and that life’s too hard not to dress for a giggle.
Poolman itself is being billed as Chris’s love letter to Los Angeles, blending nostalgia with caution about the city’s habit of erasing its own history. Adding to the buzz, the film boasts Annette Bening, Danny DeVito, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and DeWanda Wise—all under Pine’s direction and co-writing, with his own production company Barry Linen Motion Pictures. Producer Stacey Sher called it pure Chris, right down to letters typed on a vintage typewriter in character and in life. The movie’s eccentric hero channels both Erin Brockovich and Bruce Lee—a pairing that sums Pine’s blend of activism and Zen.
Another headline this week is Pine jumping ship on management: he signed exclusively with Brillstein Entertainment Partners, leaving behind longtime manager John Carrabino. Deadline broke the story, underscoring the power move as Brillstein’s Doug Wald—who also reps Emma Stone and Austin Butler—takes the reins on Pine’s future projects. He’s fresh off the Venice premiere of The Kidnapping of Arabella and just wrapped Alpha Gang alongside Lily-Rose Depp, Cate Blanchett, and Dave Bautista, a cast likely to keep the actor in heavyweight territory. Social media erupted with #PoolmanRedCarpet trending and Pine’s posse hyped about his upcoming guest spot on American Dad as it returns to Fox for season 22—Variety called it a major crossover for sci-fi royalty into animated comedy.
Fans have been dissecting every word about a possible Star Trek reunion, especially as Simon Pegg hinted at a new Kelvin movie post-Paramount-Skydance merger. The actor himself remains coy: still waiting on a script to know how he’ll tackle Captain Kirk after nine years out of Starfleet, but full of curiosity about Quentin Tarantino’s infamous R-rated Trek project, which Pine says he’s never seen. Meanwhile, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse fans lamented that Pine’s Peter Parker wasn’t included in No Way Home’s star-studded reunion; the actor assured Yahoo Entertainment he’s at peace with being left out and praised his Spider-verse musical moments, still hoping for a return in Karaoke form someday.
On the gossip front, speculation continues about Pine reprising Nicholas Devereaux in The Princess Diaries 3. AOL nailed down his position: he thinks the sequel is “fantastic” but has zero idea if he’ll be cast, neither confirming nor denying a royal comeback. And never one to shy from advocating fun, Pine told Slash Film that he now believes Dungeons & Dragons belongs in school curricula thanks to the teamwork and creativity the game fosters—his nephew won him over. Instagram and Threads have been inundated with fan photos from Yuca’s Mexican Restaurant in Los Feliz, where Pine was snapped in blue button-down and jeans—his off-duty look as distinct as ever.
Whether it’s headline-making fashion, bold career pivots, or stirring up franchise nostalgia, Chris Pine seems locked in perpetual motion—and every move he makes, the cameras and fans follow.
