Old Chris Pine and Young Jeff Bridges at the 2019 Golden Globes

Chris Pine is my Chris. You know this. My allegiance to him is mostly unwavering. I’ve been riding for Chris Pine since Just My Luck and The Princess Diaries: Royal Engagement. Those movies were definitively in the Young Chris Pine era. Last night, Lainey decided that she likes “Older looking Chris Pine” better. She was feeling his salt-and-pepper beard. I’m not going to fight about which Chris is hotter – I’ll take my Pine any way I can get it – but I do see the appeal of a rugged, slightly weathered Chris. I also like that the “Who’s the hotter Chris?” conversation is now just down to a battle between the most superior Chris and himself, as it should be.

The Best Chris was presenting his Hell or High Water co-star Jeff Bridges with the Cecil B DeMille award. As Lainey and I debate Young vs Old(er) Chris Pine, my timeline was full of young, HOT Jeff Bridges photos like these:

Since I am SO YOUNG (don’t remind me that Prem is now technically the youngest member of the LG team, it’s a very confusing time for me), I don’t remember young Jeff Bridges. This is a shock to my system, and I don’t really know how to process it. We could say the same about Jeff’s VERY ON BRAND speech. I tweeted that the Jeff Bridges speech is what Matthew McConaughey speeches were, and I’ve never been more sure about anything. It’s a solid take. It felt like The Dude was very close to dropping some “alrights.”

I’ll leave you with Chris Pine looking at Jeff Bridges the way I look at Chris Pine.
