Chris Pine, the handsome actor, who shot to fame with the 2009 film Star Trek, recently confessed that he couldn’t believe it when he came to know that he had bagged his upcoming action thriller Unstoppable with none other than Denzel Washington. At a junket for the film, Chris was heard saying “It seems very much to me like I’ve won the lottery.”
Chris totally looks up to the two-time Academy Award-winner Denzel Washington and was thrilled to work with him.
However, he admitted that he attempted to keep his amazement at bay while working with the icon, gleaning what he could from the actor by watching him work. “My job then as a young actor is to be open, and keep my eyes and ears alive to watching a master. Watching Denzel is like watching a great painter work... It was such a treat.” Chris remarked.
As for Denzel, the veteran actor was equally impressed with his younger co-star, saying, “I liked Chris. I suggested him for the role. You can’t say what that thing is, but he just had it,” Denzel was heard saying.
Unstoppable hits theatres on the 26th of November.
