Guess Who Chris Pine’s Biggest Hero Is (So Sweet!)

In a new interview with Cosmopolitan, Wonder Woman star Chris Pine opens up about the most important people and events in his life. And we’re literally gushing, especially because he says the biggest hero in his life is his mom!

Read his answers below:

Unsung Hero: “My mother went back to school when I was 13 and worked five different jobs so she could get a college degree and then her master’s. Now, she’s a psychotherapist and very successful. She’s the strongest person I know. She taught me to work my ass off.”

Last Laugh: “I really, really love to laugh. On the dating scene, I’m finding that the more I laugh heartily and authentically, the happier I am. Sex is great, but it’s really just about having a good conversation, learning something, and laughing a bunch.”

She Comes First: “One [relationship] lesson I had to learn was to listen. Some people do that naturally, but I didn’t. If you shut up for a minute and listen to your partner, whether it’s in life or in the bedroom, you can learn so much.”

Take It Off: “I think the way our society deals with nudity is so stupid. Whenever people are getting out of bed in a movie, a woman is covering her breasts and a man is covering his junk. That’s not real life! If you’re getting out of bed, just be naked. That’s what people do!”
