Chris Pine on Meeting Quentin Tarantino and Finding Out His Grandmother is in 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' - The Hollywood Reporter

On J. Claude Deering's podcast, 'Things Are Going Great for Me,' Pine opens up on 'Star Trek,' Quentin Tarantino and superheroes. Quentin Tarantino called Chris Pine "hands down, my favorite" actor of his generation, lobbing the compliment during an appearance on The Ringer’s Rewatchables podcast in January.

Speaking to comedian and actor J. Claude Deering on the inaugural episode of his "Things Are Going Great for Me" podcast, Pine calls Tarantino "a very cool dude," then recalls their encounter one night during a Vanity Fair Oscar party. Though he doesn’t mention the date, the two both attended the 2010 party hosted by then-editor-in-chief Graydon Carter.
