Chris Pine Adorably Addresses His Oscar Cry: I Got A Lot of Crap for That

ABC

No one is letting Chris Pine live down the time he cried at the Oscars.

Chris Pine let his emotions get the better of him at the Oscars, and even he doesn't think it was a good look.

While in the audience at the Academy Awards, cameras panned to Pine with a single tear falling down his beautiful face after Common and John Legend's moving performance of their Oscar-winning song "Glory" from the film Selma. And just like that, a meme was born! 

"What's annoying is, when I cry -- I mean, I don't look great in the best of times," James Corden told his Into the Woods co-star on Tuesday's Late Late Show. "When I cry I look disgusting. Look at this! Have you ever seen anyone look so handsome whilst they're crying?"

Despite such a handsome cry, Pine, 34, admitted that he's having trouble living that moment down. "It was a wonderful performance and it was really moving," he said, defending his reaction to the performance. "And a lot of people gave me a lot of crap for it -- a single tear."

He later quipped, "I would say as an actor, [that's] the only time in my life that I think I will be able to produce a single tear down my face."
