Now that’s how you own a magazine cover!!
Chris Pine is as hunky as he’s ever been posing for the newest issue of Men’s Fitness, and we are in awe of those muscles!
The 35-year-old — who seriously takes it over the top with that 5 o’clock shadow — did it for Star Trek Beyond, his upcoming third film in the Star Trek franchise, as well as playing the eye candy for Gal Gadot‘s Wonder Woman, and he’s doing it in ALL the right ways!

But while the hunkiness has always been there with Pine, this buff physique is relatively new.
In fact, Pine was pretty open about how he got ready for his work, noting it didn’t happen for him like it did Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth, two other superhero film stars that he references directly:
“You’ve got Thor, you’ve got Captain America. These guys are eating 5,000, 7,000 calories, waking up just to eat food, eating 15 meals a day. For your liver, I don’t think that’s healthy.”
Inneresting! So he got super ripped without bulking…
It’s not a bad look!

Pine continues, discussing the weights that put him in this HAWT position and shouting out his personal trainer, Mark Wildman:
“Before this I was doing pretty traditional weightlifting. With this workout, all of a sudden you start to float more. Even my friends used to make fun of the way I walked. I was walking in this rigid way, and it had a lot to do with having been an insecure kid trying to move protectively. Now, my body is moving in a more healthful way. It’s because of Mark’s process.”
Whatever the process — it also included swinging kettlebells and Clubbells — like the one he’s holding in the pic — it’s preparing Pine for what will be one of the biggest twelve month stretches of his life.
Star Trek Beyond is ready for release on July 22, starring the hunk alongside Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, and of course, the late Anton Yelchin.
Then, next June, na na na na na na Wonder Woman! Whoo!
Gotta get those muscles to get through it all! Ha!!
