The actor called out the supposed backlash to his outfit choice after some critics were not a fan of seeing so much leg.

Who wears short shorts?

Chris Pine wears short shorts, and he doesn't plan on stopping anytime soon.

But Captain Kirk thinks the hot pants should live long and prosper.

In fact, Pine told E! he doesn't think the look needs defending at all, hence the name "shorts."

He explained:

"I don't think there is anything to defend. It's called a short, isn't it? It's supposed to be short."
"Corduroy shorts, short shorts. I mean, it's a vibe. It's the best vibe."
"It's like a Tom Selleck vibe. It's like a '70s surfer vibe. I prefer that than the long."

That is, indeed, a vibe.

Pine continued:

"It's like Showtime Lakers."
"Would you rather see them with the short shorts and Magic Johnson looking like a basketball player and athlete rather than wearing some sort of capri or something on the floor?"
"No. So I'll be wearing the short shorts."

No arguments here.

You can watch the clip below.

And many on social media agreed with Pine's stance.

Things got very, very weird between far-right influencers Candace Owens and Dinesh D'Souza after the two sparred over conspiracies around the killing of far-right activist Charlie Kirk and D'Souza somehow managed to derail the argument with a bonkers comparison to "a farmer having sex with a sheep."

Owens broke with other MAGA conservatives after sharing what she claimed were text messages from Kirk, allegedly written two days before his death, in which he said he planned to “leave the pro-Israel cause.” Andrew Kolvet, the spokesperson for Kirk’s Turning Point USA, confirmed that the messages were "authentic."
