Chris Pine 2 in the new movie Prime Video: 5 things you need to know about the actor

In April, Chris Pine is the star of Prime Video as we find him in two movies! In The Contractor, a fast-paced action movie, he portrays an elite soldier fired by his superiors. A mercenary mission in Eastern Europe might solve its financial problems, but nothing goes as planned …

We also find the actor on the platform, in a duet with Tandive Newton, The Knife by the blade: A sentimental spy thriller. A pair of CIA agents who broke up with a mission a few years ago, the outcome of which was dramatic, accidentally find themselves drinking … but the disturbing elements of the past still show up, as do the demons in their relationship.

On the day of the release of this tandem of feature films, in which Chris Payne uses the scale of his talent, here are 5 anecdotes you may not know about him.

He is from a family of actors.

Chris Pine barely set foot on his first set of shots before already inheriting status. His grandmother, Anne Gwynn, was a Hollywood star in the 1930s and 1940s. He co-starred with John Howard in the series “People’s Prosecutor”, known for being the first recorded television series in history (until now, they performed more live with audiences).

Gwyn Guilford (Chris Pine’s mother) appeared in several films in the 70s and married Robert Pine, the main character in American TV series in the 60s and 80s, and who can still be seen on television until the 2010s. He is now 80 years old. Left in the spotlight.

He will shoot his first film

The information is very new, but it causes a sensation: Chris Payne will go behind the camera for the first time! The project tells the story of a pool cleaner from a large hotel in Los Angeles who thinks he is a private detective and investigates corruption that plagues the City of Angels.

The title role will be played by Chris Payne himself, and we will find Danny DeVito and Annette Benning in the actors, that’s it! The movie, which should be called Poolman, does not have a specific release date yet.

He is part of the Chris Club

Chris Hemsworth. Chris Evans. Chris Pratt. Chris Pine… If you ask the relevant translators of Captain America, Torah, Star Lord, and James Kirk, they will all say the same thing: they have been confused daily by passers-by or even journalists for the past ten years.

It must be said that the four Chris exploded thanks to the role of the first science fiction, that they are all about the same age … and that they are quite beautiful. But if the confusion is frequent, Chris Payne loves to play it and takes the matter as a joke: he even went so far as to create a funny song about it live on Saturday night.

He speaks French

After studying at Moliere Language Lover at the prestigious University of Berkeley, Chris Payne has not lost a single Frenchman. This is evidenced by the ability to respond to the French media without an interpreter during interviews. In order not to lose too much vocabulary, he admits that he got into a culinary habit while listening to French radio news channels. If we have not yet had the pleasure of finding him in the tricolor production, this is a credible opportunity for the rest of his career!

He is exploring new ways

Forty years later, Chris Pine says he wants to miss a little more. Anyone for whom Kirk’s character has been staying in Star Trek for a long time wants to explore new avenues: the elite soldier in the contractor, the elegant secret agent The Knife with the Blade, and the soon-to-be adaptation of Dungeons and Dragons. The cinema is scheduled for 2023.

A remarkable singer, he pushed for a song in the movie Into the Woods, or Small Town Saturday Night. So it seems that the actor also wants to study the music track more seriously … So, who knows, maybe we will have a chance to see the actor’s disc, which parades in hits?

The Contractor and The Knife by the Blade are available on Prime Video.
