    You know Chris Pine — or, at least, you used to know him, because he's got a whole new look now.

    On the red carpet last night for the premiere for his new movie All the Old Knives, Chris debuted a new 'do — specifically, long hair and a bushy, partially gray beard.

    “If there’s any excuse not to shave and have makeup put on, I, you know...” Can't argue with that!

    When asked if the new look was for a role, Chris answered, "Maybe," before also saying, "It's mostly laziness." So who knows!

    "This is my Gregg Allman '70s look," he joked, referring to the late rocker. "My publicist said I look like a Bee Gee, but I prefer Gregg Allman."

    Either way, he's been trying out the new look for a minute now. Here he is in November of last year, holding a cup of joe while sporting his new beard.
