In new a photo obtained by E! News, the 41-year-old actor continued to rock his recently spotted lengthy beard and grown-out hair while grabbing coffee in Los Angeles on March 7. For the casual outing, Chris sported a black hoodie and athletic shorts.

Chris Pine's Best Looks

It's not confirmed what motivated Chris to grow a beard and shoulder-length hair, but he does have a new film in the works that could explain things.

According to Deadline, Chris will star in Poolman, which he's also directing, in which he plays "Darren Barrenman, a hapless dreamer and would-be philosopher who spends his days looking after the pool of the Tahitian Tiki apartment block in sunny Los Angeles and crashing city council meetings with his neighbors Jack [Danny DeVito] and Diane [Annette Bening]." Per Deadline, the new film will also feature "some fun cameos."
