Can’t stop keeping up! Since then Chris Pine traded his faithful flip phone for an iPhone, he hasn’t been able to get away from headlines about Kim Kardashian’s romance with Pete Davidson.
“I had a flip phone for four years [or]Three years later, I bought an iPhone after feeling overwhelmed by the difficulties of being analog. [was],” the Wonder Woman Star, 41, admitted during a Wednesday March 30 appearance Josh Horowitz’s “Happy Sad Confused” podcast. “It was very difficult, but having just gotten this crack machine, it’s really bad.”
He continued: “These things are really, really, really bad. I may return to my flip-phone immediately. I don’t know if I can handle it. I don’t know if my soul can handle it.”
Pine revealed that he used to read “so many books” in his spare time — until his iPhone came into his life. “I was f—king murdering these books, just 15 books in, like, three months, and then [my iPhone] shows up and I could tell you everything about Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian,” he joked. “[And] not a f—king thing about literature.”
Horowitz attempted, however, to highlight the fact that the Princess Diaries 2 Actor now has access Wordle, TikTok, and many other apps. He groaned. “F—k you,” Pine jokingly said. “I just want to vomit. Ugh, I hate myself. Such self-loathing.”
Before switching to his new smartphone, the native of California was an avid advocate for flip phones.
“I have a flip phone,” Pine said during a May 2017 appearance on Good Morning America. “The flip world is a whole world you gotta get into. I’ll tell you what, here we go: I recently got a record player and a flip phone. I like the simplicity. I just like the simple, I just like the non-complicated, I don’t want to be connected so much.”
He quipped: “I don’t know if you remember like T9? Like, you remember when you had to do that T9 thing, wow!”
While Pine hasn’t had much time to catch up on his reading list, he’s the latest star to discuss learning about the latest relationship milestones between the Skims mogul, 41, and the Saturday Night Live star, 28. The twosome were first connected in October 2021 after her death. SNL They made their debut as hosts and confirmed their relationship one month later. Davidson even got several tattoos — and branded her name on his chest — in his girlfriend’s honor.
“He has a few tattoos, a few cute ones that he got [for me],” Kardashian said during an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show earlier in the month. “I think my favorite one, it says [on his collarbone], ‘My girl is a lawyer.’ And that one’s really cute.”
The mother of four — she shares North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 2, with estranged husband Kanye West — continued: “That’s what tattoo people do. They get tattoos of what’s going on in my life, so I was like, ‘Am I something special?’”
