Chris Pine Appears to Have Astral Projected Out of His Body at the Venice Film Festival

Ironically, the star of the Don’t Worry Darling press tour and Venice Film Festival premiere seems to be the man who most looks like he’s actively willing his consciousness to leave its current state. Images, videos, and memes of Chris Pine apparently dissociating in press junket interviews, panels, and on the red carpet have all of the internet saying, “Same.”

One popular video, clipped from a junket interview, has cropped Harry Styles out of frame as he says, “My favorite thing about the movie is that it feels like a movie…” while zooming in on Pine’s actively lifeless eyes. “You can almost see the screams catching in his throat,” the tweet sharing the vid reads. 

Another widely-shared meme shows a quartet of images from a press conference panel, in which Pine gazes at the ceiling, studies the cap on his water bottle, stares impassively, and appears to allow his eyeballs to roll fully back into his head. “Chris Pine rethinking his entire life decisions that lead him to this point,” wrote one Twitter user. 

Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh appear to be keeping up the rumored feud via their stylists (Pugh’s captioned an IG with “Miss Flo” and Wilde’s wrote in an IG Story, “There’s always more to the story,” via Independent). Try as Pine might to stay out of the behind-the-scenes messiness, he couldn’t escape it when video surfaced that appeared to show Harry Styles spitting on him before taking his seat. 

Was Pine’s half-amused, half-angry reaction to being spat upon by a former costar? Or was it, as some others have theorized, only that Pine had been looking for his sunglasses and he was reacting to the fact that they’d been on his lap the whole time? The world may never know. 

I only hope that Chris Pine successfully accessed his mental happy space throughout this trying time.
