Chris Pine plays ‘Poolman’ character in Jorts, long blond hair

Chris Pine‘ has the Californian surfer looking down… a style he seemingly adopted from the set of his new movie ‘Poolman’, and which he seems to be keeping comfortable long after filming.

The actor-director showed up to the LA premiere of his new film on Wednesday night… and fans who haven’t seen CP lately should cut some slack if they didn’t recognize him — because he’s way hairier than us. I’m used to seeing him look.

Check out the photos… Pine is wearing a new T-shirt under a sand-colored blazer and jeans – while a bushy gray beard and blonde hair down to his chest make him look a lot less buttoned up than we have in the past seen .

But it looks like Pine may have dressed up as his character… because photos of within the event shows Chris with a shorter ‘do, making it look like he made his entrance with a wig.

Either way, Chris’ hair has definitely been the talk of the town in recent months and years… he’s gone from totally shaved to harder to hair on his back – shocking fans with each transformation.

FWIW…it looks like CP raided the movie’s wardrobe for his ensemble, because a scene about 30 seconds into the trailer shows Pine wearing the same outfit.

In short, it seems like a genius marketing move on Pine’s part… drawing attention to himself by putting his character on display.

In Pine’s new film, he plays a pool cleaner, embroiled in political intrigue when a femme fatale recruits him to take down a corrupt politician. It costs Danny DeVito, Annette Bening, The Wanda Wise, Jennifer Jason Leigh and more.
