Chris Pine admits he’s taking Ballet classes: ‘I Wish I’d Done It Years Ago’

Chris Pine, who is set to star in two new films, ‘The Contractor’ and Amazon Prime’s ‘All The Old Knives” discusses his Ballet classes and how he got started.

“I love it,” says Pine, 41. “I wish I’d done it years ago. It’s an incredible workout. I just find it so beautiful because you have to be so strong and kind of masculine, so to speak, but also very gentle and feminine with your arms and your hands. It’s just a very difficult art form.”

Pine’s decision to begin ballet was based on two factors.

“A couple things,” he says. “One, it’s artistic, but a lot of vanity. I had watched this video of this great Russian dancer dancing to Hozier in this church. I was like, ‘Who is this guy?’ I was like, ‘I want to look like that.’ He’s a ballet dancer. And I was like, ‘I should take ballet.'”

When he isn’t learning a new skill, he keeps his hands busy with a variety of crafts.

First, Chris Pine plays Special Forces Sergeant James Harper in the upcoming action thriller The Contractor, “who is involuntarily discharged from the Army and cut-off from his pension,” according to an official synopsis.

“In debt, out of options and desperate to provide for his family, Harper contracts with a private underground military force,” the synopsis adds. “When the very first assignment goes awry, the elite soldier finds himself hunted and on the run, caught in a dangerous conspiracy and fighting to stay alive long enough to get home and uncover the true motives of those who betrayed him.”

Chris Pine will also act opposite Thandiwe Newton, Laurence Fishburne, and Jonathan Pryce in the upcoming conspiracy thriller All The Old Knives.

Chris Pine is also supposed to be reprising his role as Captain Kirk in the fourth instalment of the reboot series of the Star Trek franchise, as well as making his directing debut with the comedy Poolman.

The Contractor will be launched on April 1, and Amazon Prime will begin streaming All The Old Knives on April 8.
