This Heartthrob, Once Called the ‘Most Handsome’ Man in the World, Has Become Unrecognizable: Who Is He?”
Photos of once-beloved actor Chris Pine have sparked a wave of reactions online, with many stunned by his nearly unrecognizable appearance. While some fans were curious, others made harsh comments—some even comparing him to someone experiencing homelessness.
In February 2022, Pine was spotted in Los Angeles wearing a white tank top that showed off his toned arms, along with thick salt-and-pepper hair and a bushy gray beard—a rugged contrast to his clean-cut Star Trek days.
Social media reactions were mixed. Some mocked his appearance with comments like, “He looks like he could blend in with the homeless population,” while others asked, “He used to be so handsome. What happened?” Still, some fans remained loyal, calling him “still one of the most handsome men alive.”
Pine rose to fame in the 2000s with guest TV roles and made his film debut opposite Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries 2 (2004). His breakout came in 2009 when he was cast as James T. Kirk in the Star Trek reboot, launching him to global stardom.
Over the years, Pine has embraced various style changes—from polished and clean-shaven to bald or heavily bearded. Though he reportedly lost roles due to skin issues, he has always experimented with his look. Now, it appears he’s focusing less on appearance and more on simply being himself.
