CELEB HÍREK: Chris Pine Says His Viral ‘Short Shorts’ Were Inspired by Tom Selleck

In a sit-down interview with E! News to promote his new movie Wish, Pine, 43, was jokingly asked whether he wanted to defend his viral “short shorts.” Pine was photographed wearing a pair of white shorts to a workout class earlier, stirring fans online into a frenzy. “I don’t think there’s anything to defend,” he told E! News Chief Correspondent Kelti Knight. “It’s called a short, isn’t it?”    In recent years, short shorts have become Pine’s signature look. The ’Don’t Worry Darling’ actor has been photographed wearing thigh-exposing look at the gym, running errands and while hiking. He has sported a wide array of styles, from corduroy to cotton and even swimwear. “I mean, it’s a vibe,” he continued. “It’s the best vibe. It’s like a Tom Selleck vibe. It’s like a ‘70s surfer vibe. I prefer that.” In the 1980s, Selleck starred in the hit crime show ‘Magnum, P.I.’ In the show, Selleck plays Thomas Magnum, a private investigator living in Oahu, Hawaii. The character boasts a quintessentially ‘80s wardrobe consisting of button down Hawaiian print shirts, muscle tank tops and, of course, the infamous short shorts. source: US magazine
