Chris Pine Talks “Star Trek” in British Esquire May 2013

Posted on by

With his movie “Star Trek: Into Darkness” nearing its highly anticipated premiere, Chris Pine pitched in on promotions by covering the May 2013 issue of British Esquire magazine.

While showing off his undoubtedly good looks for the Yu Tsai-shot front page, the 32-year-old actor chatted about everything from pressures of the first “Star Trek” film to taking on the USS Enterprise captain role.

“‘Star Trek’ scared me a lot. It terrified me, really,” the “This Means War” star revealed. “Because of the scale, the responsibility, the fact that it was this iconic character. It was the bigger challenge. So I had to take it.”

When discussing his audition as the famous Captain Kirk, Mr. Pine admitted, “I wasn’t a fan of ‘Star Trek.’ It didn’t excite me. All I wanted at that time was a part that I really connected to and when my agent said, ‘Star Trek,’ I said, “No! Have you not been hearing anything I’ve said? ‘Star Trek’ is the furtherest thing from what I want to do.”

In regards to excited Trekky fans, Chris said. “When I went to Japan for ‘Star Trek,’ the fans were at the airport waiting. But they didn’t scream until Benedict [Cumberbatch] got off the plane. And I was like, ‘F*** man: what about me?’”

Clint Eastwood Covers Esquire October 2012

Posted on by

With his new movie “Trouble With The Curve” set to hit theaters on September 21st, Clint Eastwood found himself covering the October 2012 issue of Esquire magazine.

Sitting on a bar stool chair, the 82-year-old actor cleaned up in a dark suit and tie for Nigel Perry shot front page while opening up about his views on President Barack Obama and execution.

Highlights from Mr Eastwood’s interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Esquire!

On President Barack Obama:
“Can you imagine being him, surrounded by people all the time? I’d hate it. But he seems to like it. He seems to like what I’d hate, all the trappings of power. He said that if he failed in his first term he wouldn’t seek a second. Well, here it is – unemployment’s still up around 8 percent – and he’s doing anything he possibly can to keep power.”

On the difference between him and Mr. Obama:
“There are two kinds of people in this world. ‘I’ people and ‘we’ people. I’ve always tried to be a ‘we’ person. I think that our president is an ‘I’ person. He speaks as though he killed Osama bin Laden himself.”

On the death penalty:
“There’s not a guy in the world that wouldn’t want to drop the hammer on [killers]. But in our society you have certain people trying to analyze what we give them for lethal injection. What’s the difference? Battery acid would be fine.”

On his wife’s reality show, “Mrs. Eastwood & Company:”
“I have nothing to do with that. I’m not a reality-TV kind of guy, but it’s almost like we’re living in a reality show. Every day in this country, everybody keeps worrying about the deterioration of America and it’s like a big reality show.”

On becoming work-focused at the age of eighteen:
“In my second year in Los Angeles, when I was eighteen, I wasn’t getting any bookings, so I stopped going out, stopped partying. It was a matter of getting to the work. I had to focus.”

On looking forward to turning thirty:
“It’s a good age. It’s an age of choices.”

 

 

Michael Fassbender Covers British Esquire June 2012

Posted on by

He’s in promotional mode as his new film “Prometheus” will be invading theaters on June 8th, and Michael Fassbender garnered cover duties for the June 2012 issue of British Esquire magazine.

Set to hit newsstands on May 3rd, the 35-year-old Irish-German actor brought his hunkiness to the magazine’s pages via an Alice Hawkins shot spread while opening up about topics including his rise to fame and plans for the future.

Highlights from Mr Fassbender’s interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to British Esquire!

On his rise to fame and dealing with all that comes with stardom:
“It would be wrong of me to say that I don’t get seduced by certain things. That things don’t become tempting. The thing is I don’t like to filter my behaviour, but I have a feeling that might be the case now…I don’t want to be in the newspapers. I just want to keep what I do on screen and that’s it.”

On looking ahead to the next phase in his career:
“The next thing is to develop, make your own stories with writers, gather a pool of creative people and develop stuff. So it’s not the fact that I’m waiting for someone else to hire me or I’m waiting for a really good script to arrive, I’m actually trying to make that script.”

With her new movie “The Three Stooges” set to hit theaters next month, Sofia Vergara added to the promotional efforts by landing the cover of the April 2012 issue of Esquire.

The 39-year-old Colombian beauty looked oh-so-hot in an array of curve-hugging lingerie while she’s promised to have revealed closely guarded truths about the heretofore incomprehensible ways of the Latin woman in her interview.

Along with her new movie “The Three Stooges” opening up on April 13th, Miss Vergara is also lined up to take the Studio 8H stage as host of “Saturday Night Live” on April 7th.

Of landing the gig on the NBC show, the “Modern Family” actress told Access Hollywood, “I’m very happy, very excited because I never thought I was going to be part of that TV show. I think it’s an American tradition. It’s a TV show that the whole world knows, so for me, it’s an honor to be part of that group of actors that are known for their excellence.”

She added of what viewers can expect, “I don’t know yet what they have in mind. I’m going to go to New York a week before Saturday and we rehearse and they come up with the sketches, so, it’s like a whole week of work.”
