It’s been a while since Hollywood had a bona fide homegrown movie star: they tend to come from places like Missouri or Kentucky, not Studio City. But here’s Chris Pine, 28 years old, native to “the Valley,” and soon to be seen on-screen as the new Captain Kirk in director J. J. Abrams’s young-guns reboot of the original Star Trek.

Pine didn’t slip effortlessly into William Shatner’s double-knits. “There have been, like, three auditions in my life where I feel like I’m in a Saturday Night Live skit. One was for Avatar”—James Cameron’s upcoming science-fiction epic—“which was probably the worst audition I ever gave. Another was for 10,000 bc, where I was just, like, on my haunches pretending to be in a loincloth in Burbank.” Pine laughs. “Then the other one was Star Trek. It was all this jargon talk of torpedoes and photons,” which, needless to say, didn’t quite trip off the tongue. Fortunately, he got a second chance seven months later and nailed it.

Pine, who graduated from U.C. Berkeley, comes from two generations of actors: his father, Robert Pine, has 200-odd television shows to his credit; his grandmother is B-movie actress Anne Gwynne, who was often seen in horror films. Chris Pine isn’t jaded, but neither is he naïve. “I know where I come from and what I want and why I got into [show business]. I know the reality of it. I just hope that I have longevity in my career.” – source

The May 2009 issue is out now featuring Gisele Bündchen on the cover. I’m going to try and get the magazine myself but, for anyone who get’s scans I’d love if you would donate them.

Juita had the chance to meet Chris on April 9th outside of the C4TV studio.

“Chris was in Auckland yesterday (April 9th) do do Star Trek press and the premiere. While Zachary, Chris and John Cho were in at work shooting some interview footage in the C4TV studio I was able to get a pic with a couple of the guys and I have attached the one of Chris – who, btw, was really nice. “

She also mentioned that:

“great interview, they were really funny and clowning around”
