Chris Pine shows he’s civic-minded by repping a PBS T-shirt while out in LA on a solo coffee run

Twitter users united to declare him ‘the best Chris’ in Hollywood last week after he was spotted with a bag crammed full of books.

Chris Pine continued to play up his intellectual bona fides on Sunday when he wore a T-shirt promoting public broadcasting.

The 39-year-old Wonder Woman star was in need of a caffeine boost so he dropped by a Blue Bottle Coffee location in LA’s hip Los Feliz neighborhood.

Chris paired his white PBS T-shirt with navy blue shorts, simple black flip flops and a gold luxury wristwatch.

He often favors a mix of bandanas and respirator-style masks to help ward off the novel coronavirus, but this time he wore a thick blue patterned scarf that was rolled up over his face for extra layering.

Though he regularly drives around LA in his classic automobiles, Chris opted for comfort this time with his silver luxury SUV.

The Wrinkle In Time star wasn’t far from the beloved indie bookstore Skylight Books, where he purchased a bounty of titles last week.

After a photo of him carrying a heavy bag of books from the store circulated last week, Twitter users jokingly declared him ‘the best Chris’ in Hollywood (compared to Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pratt) for properly wearing a mask and supporting an indie bookstore. 

Author and journalist Dana Schwartz seemingly started the viral trend on Monday when she posted two photos of the actor. 

‘Chris Pine really pulled ahead and became the best Chris, it happened so slowly I didn’t even notice it was happening,’ she wrote.

Missing from Chris’ coffee run was his girlfriend Annabelle Wallis, though he carried two coffees, so one may have been earmarked for her. 

The English actress has previously been in various high profile relationships, including her on–off romance with Coldplay’s Chris Martin from 2015–2017.    

Chris and Annabelle first went public with their relationship on a date night in London in July 2018, after first being romantically linked that April.

The Outlaw King star got some good news late last month when his upcoming thriller Violence Of Action was sold to the German media company Leonine.
