Chris pine

Her parents ( Robert Pine and Gwynne Gilford ) and grandparents ( Anne Gwynne and Max M. Gilford) are actors. Thus, it is not surprising that Christopher Whitelaw Pine (Los Angeles, August 26, 1980) ended up following the path of interpretation. After graduating in English from the University of California at Berkeley, he managed to get signed for a small role in an episode of the seriesemergencies _

He made his film debut withSurprise Princess 2 , where he was a prince pretender to the throne who ended up falling in love with Anne Hathaway ‘s character . “To be honest, I got into acting because I wanted to play roles like Gary Oldman , to be weird and out of the ordinary. I wanted to wear makeup and have a hunchback. But I never expected that I would play a prince,” recalls the actor. InGive me back my luck was a jinx who passed the bad luck with a kiss to Lindsay Lohan .

Although he opted for the leading role ofAvatar , they didn’t hire him. “It was the worst audition anyone has ever done,” he recalls. After various small roles inhot aces and in the seriesTwo meters underground , his big break came from JJ Abrams , who bet heavily on him by giving him the main role, Captain Kirk, fromStar Trek , successful relaunch of the galactic franchise. “Before working on this film, I wasn’t even a fan of the saga. I think I went to the audition for one thing only, because I wanted to meet JJ Abrams. He’s a genius,” he told me during the promotional visit to Madrid.

From that moment there is no one to stop Pine, who rolledUnstoppable , by Tony Scott , where he was a rookie who works as a train chief, who will try to stop together with a veteran engineer ( Denzel Washington ) an out-of-control locomotive with flammable cargo.

For now, Chris Pine’s career is on the rise. He has shot This Means War , by McG and in 2012 he will repeat in the sequel toStar Trek . As for his personal life, it is known that he has had relationships with actresses Olivia Munn (Iron Man 2 ) and Beau Garrett (Tron Legacy ).
