First of all I have to say that I’m disappointed that Chris Pine‘s photoshoot for Men’s Health, while classy, has no half naked photos!?! What’s up with that? I mean, it is Men’s Health, not GQ.

Anyway, Chris talked to Men’s Health about the fact that he was up for another role when he was offered the role of James T. Kirk in Star Trek. “I think the most dangerous word in the English language is should,” Pine says. “I should have done this. Or I should do that. Should implies responsibility. It connotes demand. Which is just not the case. Life ebbs and flows.” But he has still spent his life fighting the word. He can’t always forget it. So when the two jobs were offered, he talked it over with everyone he could, and spent a lot of time by himself, wondering what he should do.

Chris Pine’s girlfriend wakes up every morning at 7 a. m. and is, as he tells it, the very definition of sunshine. She is ready. Yesterday’s gone; today is better. This attitude is something he’s trying to emulate, although it hasn’t happened yet. He needs 2 1/2 more hours and some strong coffee. “I’m so envious of that genetic wiring that immediately puts a smile on your face,” he says. “My genetic wiring just puts creases in my eyebrows.”

I’ll give you some sunshine Chris.
