Chris Pine may have been a relative newcomer when he was cast as Lindsay Lohan's love interest in Just My Luck, but he was clearly the more professional actor. After all, it was the redheaded actress' wild ways that led to at least one shutdown on the 2005 set of their romantic comedy—not Pine's.
"It was a real cyclone of insanity, like being around The Beatles," Pine says of the media circus surrounding his hard-partying costar, who earned $7.5 million for her role in the film. "It was fascinating to watch, and in hindsight it's really a distinct moment in someone's life when you see what's really wonderful about what we get to do and what's really dangerous about it."

Pine, by contrast, eschewed the spotlight. "Hollywood is like living in a weird bubble," he says in the Jan. 10 issue of The Hollywood Reporter. "A bunch of people take care of you and get you stuff, and you're the center of that little microcosmic world. You start believing that it is real and you deserve it."
Unlike many young stars, Pine puts a premium on his privacy. His romantic life, for example, is "something I don't really want to talk about." And he has no intention of joining Twitter, either.
"F--k no," he says of signing up for the social networking site. "What am I going to tweet about? My sneakers? Or, 'I have 140,000 friends on Facebook.' What does that even mean? I find it to be a waste of time. The internet is so caustic; just a place where people get to spew nonsense and bulls--t.
