When Did Chris Pine Get So Hot? An Investigation
The precise moment Chris Pine got so GD sexy.
If you were under the impression that Chris Pine, actor, Chris among Chrises, owner of a masterpiece the rest of us refer to as a face, and all around stupendously hot human, was always so hot, I have two words for you: Princess Diaries. Like some other hot humans we know and like-ish, Chris was not always the tall, supple Pine we'd like to climb today―friends, at one point he was even a ginger. (And that's not shade—I have a well-documented affinity for gingers.) But the point is, he's grown into his sexy Chris self. Here, an investigation into exactly when Chris Pine got so GD hot.
February 15, 2004
In the winter of 2004, Chris Pine looked like your best friend's little brother...he also has the same haircut as everyone on the high school lacrosse team.
August 7, 2004
By the summer, he has cut his hair and is looking lankier.
August 7, 2004
Quite lanky, really.
August 7, 2004
Can't you see the lank?
March 8, 2005
But mere months later, the disheveled-but-not-in-a-sexy-just-got-out-of-bed-way-more-gateway-Robert-Pattinson-in-the-Twilight-years-and-shivers-let's-never-go-back-to-that haircut is back. He's also wearing Sherlock Holmes's scarf. Fact: Only Tom Hiddleston could pull that scarf off.

His eyes shine bright with 🔥 potential.

But he is a mere lad of 25 here, and frankly the unbuttoned shirt in the last photo made us a wee bit uncomfortable. (Just kidding, it didn't at all, take it off already, Chris Pine.)
March 4, 2007
But seriously, he is a boy...
March 16, 2007
With a straight-up freshman-in-college face, which you would ignore until you saw him put a cookie in the bottom of his fro yo so he didn't have to pay for it in the cafeteria and you finally made eye contact and immediately thought, "genius" and "those eyes" and "there better be some cookies left."

WAIT, NEW HAIR, WHO DIS?

So he's back at it with the Sherlock neckwear, but let's put that aside for a second. In a mere year, this Pine has bloomed―which technically I don't think pine trees do, so the metaphor is a bit problematic, but you get it. HE IS A MAN.
January 19, 2008
Buuutttttt HALT. Is that the SAME GD SCARF WE TOLD YOU ONLY TOM HIDDLESTON CAN PULL OFF? IS YOUR NAME TOM HIDDLESTON, CHRIS PINE? But also, are you all of a sudden a strawberry blond?
January 19, 2008
Yes, yes you are.
July 26, 2008
Seven months later our strawberry shortcake is back to being a brunette! Hooray!
July 31, 2008
And while you might be thinking, "Sally, this is hot, are you mad?" I am not. I am just wary, because...as we know, Chris likes to slip back into old habits and HOT is all about consistency.
August 15, 2008
See?
October 27, 2008
Told ya.
January 11, 2009
OKAY THIS IS HOT.
January 11, 2009
THIS IS THE MOMENT, HERE. At the 2009 Golden Globes, Chris Pine is full-fledged, fire-emoji hot.
March 28, 2009
And he continues to be hot, because importantly, Chris Pine has discovered hair gel.
