While most celebrities these days boast the latest iPhone, Chris Pine used a flip phone for the longest time. In an interview with "Good Morning America," he explained why he made the switch: "I recently got a record player and a flip phone. I kind of like the simplifying down. I just like the simple, I just like the non-complicated." He continued, "I don't want to be connected so much." His "Wonder Woman" co-star, Gal Gadot, was quite amazed by Pine's phone and made some light-hearted jokes about it (clearly, Pine and Gadot have a good relationship off-screen).
But alas, like the rest of us, Pine couldn't hold onto his flip phone forever. During a subsequent appearance on Josh Horowitz's "Happy Sad Confused" podcast, Pine acknowledged that after years of flip phone usage, he finally switched to an iPhone because a flip phone was just too difficult to use in the long run. However, the actor wasn't too pleased about making the change.
He railed, "These [phones] are really, really, really bad. I may immediately go back to a flip phone. I don't know if I can handle it. I don't know if my soul can handle it." Pine also noticed that prior to getting an iPhone, he read loads of books and could talk about literature easier. But after the switch, his mind was annoyingly filled with mindless celebrity gossip instead (via Us Weekly).
