LIGHTEN UP: A GQ SUMMER SUIT PRIMER

If you really want to keep your cool in the heat, do like Chris Pine of ‘Star Trek’ and rethink your hot-weather wardrobe
Photographs by Ben Watts and Tom Schierlitz


This Is Your Captain Speaking
To the outrage of William Shatner devotees everywhere, the role of Captain Kirk in the new Star Trek went to Chris Pine—an unproven 28-year-old from L.A.—who didn’t know a Vulcan from a Venezuelan. When it comes to his breakthrough role, we don’t know whether to congratulate him or send our sympathies
You play Captain James T. Kirk. Any razzing from old friends of late?
It’s pretty ****ing inescapable. I play basketball with a bunch of guys at 9:30 a.m. and it’s like, “Yo, wussup, Captain Kirk!” I don’t have a smart comeback yet.
You weren’t much of a Trekkie, we hear.
I was a Star Wars kid. The kitsch factor in the original Star Trek series is high, but the show manages to take on these huge questions about race, sex, and war. I have a great appreciation for what Mr. Shatner did with the part. There’s a gravity to it, but he’s having fun.
Surely tiptoeing around the rabid fan base—calling him “Mr. Shatner” and all that—must get old?
The amount of dissection of the minutiae of this movie…I was blown away by the protectiveness. I’m definitely guilty of looking at the blogs, and I’m not a fan of the anonymity [of the Internet], how it allows people to just spew poisonous vitriol like vomit.
You seem interested in playing a diverse range of roles. Are you worried you’ll forever be typecast because of your looks?
I did a movie called Smokin’ Aces, and the casting director didn’t want to see me for the role of a neo-Nazi hit man. But it didn’t bum me out. I had to prove I could do it.
What was the state of the Lindsay Lohan circus when you starred opposite her in Just My Luck [in 2006]?
She was making a lot of money and attracting a lot of attention from the paparazzi. It put in stark relief that I don’t want that kind of life.
Isn’t Star Trek bringing it anyway?
Maybe. But I’m not gonna hunt it out. I won’t tell my publicist I’m going to Starbucks in twenty minutes and to call the photographers.—devin friedman

GQ US June 2009 cover

Christian Bale crosses his arms on the June 2009 cover of GQ.

Highlights:
On unleashing the Rant on the set of Termination Salvation:
“I’d definitely say that that guy who was yelling was at least half John Connor, and the rest was Christian Bale.”

On using his Americanized John Connor accent off-camera too:
“I do that because I’m just not very good at switching between two voices. If I had the talent to turn it on and off on cue, I would. But I don’t, so I have to maintain. Otherwise I’m aware that I’m “doing an accent” whenever I’m filming, instead of just speaking. Hey, listen, I don’t make any excuses. None of it is excusable. You know, I feel I already said everything about this that needs to be said when I called up the radio station.”

On when he fell off the vegetarianism bandwagon:
“I was up in Toronto and went to see that movie Life Is Beautiful. By myself. And when I came out, I had a craving for blood unlike anything I had ever experienced since I decided to go vegetarian at the age of 7. It was a compulsion. It was undeniable. I went to several restaurants, one right after the other, and got the
biggest, bloodiest steaks I could get my hands on. It was the first time I had tasted flesh in almost twenty years.”

Termination Salvation opens in theaters this Friday, May 22.
Check out the full Christian feature at GQ.com. Check it out, it ends pretty hilariously.

P.S. If you’re wondering why Christian’s left pointer finger has a bandage on it, he “cut off the tip” during a bike crash and had it surgically reattached several days after.

That US Esquire is a fabulous concept; although the OCD side of me wishes the superimposed writing was neater... I know they've misaligned it to make it look like they really scrawled on her, but the more I look at it, the more artificial it seems.

GQ UK July 2009 : Megan Fox

[tigerrouge]

Aye, I saw that cover in a newspaper today, it looks like her clothes are falling off as she stands in front of a hedge. A slightly bizarre backdrop for a swimsuit shot, but it's different, like a side-of-the-road hitch-hiking soft-p*rn scenario.

 

[Flashbang]

That's Megan?
....I'm not too keen
