Chris Pine is doubling down on his devotion to a single-digit inseam.

The Wonder Woman actor sparked an online frenzy last month after he showed off his impressively toned legs in a pair of so-called short shorts on his way out of a fitness class in Los Angeles.

When asked about the viral photos this week, Pine made no apologies for the thigh-baring ensemble.

I dont think theres anything to defend, he told E! News in an interview that aired Tuesday. Its called a short, isnt it? Like, its supposed to be short.

In matters of personal style, Pine said he looked to Tom Selleck who rocked a pair of short shorts as the title character on the CBS series Magnum, P.I. from 1980 to 1988 for inspiration.

I mean, its a vibe. Its the best vibe, he explained. Its like a Tom Selleck vibe. Its like [a] 70s surfer vibe.

Chris Pine defends his "short shorts" from a viral gym photo! https://t.co/6UDC8K0I7c pic.twitter.com/JzHRXQMrYH

E! News (@enews) November 14, 2023

Pine is far from the only Hollywood A-lister whose love of so-called short shorts has made headlines.

An early propagator of the menswear trend was Paul Mescal , who has made leggy looks his signature . For the record, the Normal People and Aftersun actor has named ONeills, a brand of Gaelic football shorts from his native Ireland, as his favorite.

The summer of 2021 will be all about guys showing some leg, Mens Health declared more than two years ago, after Dwayne The Rock Johnson and This Is Us star Milo Ventimiglia made fans swoon with their high-riding gym attire.

And if youre one of those people eager for Pine and others to revert to longer inseams yes, there have been some dissenting voices it looks like you might be waiting a while.

When E! News asked Pine how long he plans to keeping rocking the shorts, he quipped: Until the legs go. Look up Tom Selleck.
