When Chris Pine was 29, he played James T. Kirk in the 2009 Star Trek reboot, the popular sci-fi franchise that gained a whole new following of fans who were excited to see his face on the big screen.

Over the past 15 years, the effortlessly handsome star has maintained a clean-shaven, well-coiffed look, nailing every outfit that drapes his toned body.

But now, the 43-year-old star – the son of Robert Pine who starred as Sgt. Joseph Getraer on CHiPs (1977 to 1983) – seems to be embracing a chic but hippy-ish style with a shaggy beard, salt and pepper hair and killer tan.

Rugged and shabby

Ditching his typical preppy look, Pines experienced a physical transformation so intense that many fans didn’t recognize him.

The rugged and shabby look came while he was preparing for his role Poolman, a 2023 box office bomb that he starred, co-wrote, produced and directed.

Embracing his character in the film, Pine fully embodied Darren Barrenman, a “hapless dreamer and would-be philosopher who spends his days looking after the pool of the Tahitian Tiki apartment block in sunny Los Angeles.”

He appeared at the opening of the film with his bushy gray beard and his long blonde hair with gray roots loosely resting over the shoulders of a sand-colored blazer. He added to his outfit a pair of dark gray shorts and a t-shirt that reads, “I [heart] LA.”

Sharing a clip on X that shows Pine at the opening, E! News writes, “[Chris Pine] is just in a silly goofy mood.”

‘Homeless’
Before the opening of Poolman, released in May 2024, fans were shocked to see the heartthrob walking around Los Angeles with wavy salt-and-pepper hair and an untamed beard.

His bright blue eyes were hidden by dark sunglasses and his white tank top showed his toned arms, one hand clutching a mask.

“Looks 55 and homeless! Great character actor!!” writes one fan of the Wonder Woman star becoming his character.

Expressing their genuine concern, a handful of fans wondered if Pine was facing some hard times.

“… he could fit in with the homeless people on the streets there. I guess times are tough for everyone,” said one, while a second adds, “He’s going for the homeless look. Someone toss him a bar of soap, he likely needs a scrubbing.”

A third offers, “He was one nice looking guy, I wonder what happened?”

Then there were the fans who had a hard time recognizing Pine’s chiseled face under the grizzled beard.

“Almost don’t recognize him now. Sad!” says one user, while another writes, “I’m impressed anyone recognized him. He looks raggedy.”

Comparing the star to Jeff Bridges as the eccentric slacker in The Big Lebowski, a third shares: “If they ever remake The Big Lebowski, we know who to get to play The Dude!”

‘Chris Pine is a king’
Meanwhile, throngs of fans loved Pine’s new look and gushed over the actor who played the handsome Lord Deveraux in the Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.

“Yet still fine as f***,” remarks one cyber fan, while a second says, “Still looks great.”

A third writes, “He was a prince. Chris Pine is a king now!”

Offering an explanation to his rough new look, another netizen adds, “Kids, this is what we old folks called ‘getting old.’” The user continues, “Nobody (except maybe Tom Cruise) stays looking the same as we age and get older. You’re welcome.”

The Grey family was known for their wealth. Some people believed they were so rich they could buy all the houses in Beverly Hills. Their family’s wealth and status went back to the 1700s. Many family members came and went, but they kept their high position.

Richard was the only child of his parents, Franco and Leah Grey. The couple had waited many years to have him. As expected, they spent their fortune and effort raising Richard to be one of the finest gentlemen.

He made people happy, and his parents were proud of their perfect son. They were excited that one day he would manage their family estate. But they were also worried about his future.

Franco and Leah wanted grandchildren. Leah especially wanted Richard to find a wife and have kids. She would call future grandchildren her “tiny soldiers” and couldn’t wait to see them.

Leah once challenged Franco, who asked her to stop pressuring their son. “You might die before me, Franco, and you don’t care that you might never see his baby?” she asked.

Franco calmly replied, “I want grandkids too, but he needs time. Finding love isn’t easy these days.”

Leah was not convinced. “People get married every day, Franco! He hasn’t even started thinking about it,” she said.

Franco’s words didn’t stop Leah from bringing up the subject with Richie every time she saw him. He would say, “Mom, I’m trying to find the right girl. It’s hard to know who loves you for real.”

Richard was right. His wealth made it difficult to find a genuine woman. He wanted someone committed, compassionate, and not interested in his money. He didn’t want a one-sided relationship.

While Richard had high standards for a partner, he was also willing to improve himself for the right woman. He dreamed of finding his Cinderella, the one who would make his heart race.

No one knew when it would happen, not even Richard. But soon enough, he met Marlene, a beautiful woman with a model-like figure. Richard was captivated by her looks and intelligence.

Richard worked hard to win Marlene’s heart. She wasn’t easily impressed, but eventually, he swept her off her feet. At least, that’s how she described falling in love with him.

After dating for a few months, Richard proposed with a grand gesture, and Marlene said yes. She proudly wore a large engagement ring, and they moved in together.

Richard supported Marlene, who claimed to raise money for orphanages. This warmed his heart, and he believed she was perfect for him.

He even sponsored her fundraising efforts and introduced her to his wealthy friends. But their love story took a turn when Richard decided to test Marlene.

One day, while organizing his garage, Richard saw Marlene rudely turn away an old homeless man who knocked on their door. She treated him harshly, which shocked Richard.

Later, Richard called the orphanage Marlene said she helped. To his surprise, they had never heard of her.

Richard hired a private investigator named Sarah. He wanted to know more about Marlene before marrying her. What he found out was disappointing, but he wasn’t ready to give up.

Sarah discovered that Marlene was a scam artist. She raised money under false pretenses and never helped any charity. She was only interested in herself.

Still, Richard decided to test her again. He disguised himself as a beggar, wearing heavy makeup to hide his identity.

When Marlene saw the disguised Richard at the door, she angrily yelled at him to leave, calling him disgusting and refusing to give him food or water.

A few days later, Richard returned in his disguise. But this time, he wiped off the makeup and confronted Marlene, revealing his true identity.

“I know all about you, Marlene. I’m guessing that’s not even your real name,” Richard said angrily.

Marlene was shocked and tried to explain. “I’m so sorry, Richard. It’s not what you think!” she stammered.

But Richard had heard enough. He grabbed her arm and told her to leave his house and his life.

Soon after, Marlene was arrested. A few months later, Richard started dating Sarah, the investigator. This time, he took things slowly and enjoyed the dating phase.

Leah, though a bit reluctant, finally stopped pressuring her son about marriage. But now, she would occasionally ask Sarah when she would propose to Richard.
