Actor Chris Pine has revealed he has taken part in one of the most famous and popular pub crawls in the north. The Star Trek star spoke about his time attending Leeds University - making him most likely the only Hollywood A-lister to attend the uni.
Fans on social media were shocked to learn of the actor’s link to Leeds with some calling it “bonkers.”
Chris Pine who stars in the new blockbuster Dungeons & Dragons recently made a trip to the UK to promote the must see movie.
Speaking on Capital FM, Pine, 42, reminisced on his time as a student at Leeds University when he studied there as an exchange student for a year, and of course, taking part in the famous Otley Run.
When asked about the iconic Leeds student pub crawl, Pine said: “I don’t remember much of it but yes I have done it,” and admitted he can’t even remember what costume he dressed up in when he took part in it at 19 years old.
However, he remembers Leeds very fondly even though he hasn’t been back to the city since 2002.
"I'm yet to go back to Leeds, although I have these memories, like I lived at 49 Brudenell Road and I can see the market across the street and I know the walk to school and the great old cinema on the corner of Brudenell and Hyde Park.
"I mean I just have these images of school there,” he said.
Fans found it absolutely bizarre that the major celeb was once a student in Leeds, and took to Twitter to share their shock.
Hol said: “Chris Pine went to leeds uni and did the otley run what is real anymore.” Another Twitter user said: “Lolling at the fact that Chris Pine went to Uni of Leeds for a year.”
@kloklo said: “wait wait, so not only did chris pine do erotic literature classes at berkeley, he also spend a year studying at leeds uni? what a wild mix of education this man has had.”
Fiz tweeted: “nah that’s mad as if chris pine actually went to leeds uni” while Grady said: “how have i just found out chris pine went to uni in leeds and lived in hyde park, wonder if he ever queued for royal park pub on a tuesday.” Kieran tweeted: "Chris Pine knowing about Hyde Park Leeds and the Otley Run is bonkers."
On Instagram, Conor said: “Chris on the lash in Leeds!” while other Leeds students were shocked to be living near where the Hollywood star once dwelled.
Dungeons & Dragons hits UK cinemas on Friday, March 31.
