Chris Pine’s first crush was Linda Carter, the original Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman star Chris Pine says his first crushes were “powerful women in skirts” - Lynda Carter and She-Ra.

Hollywood actor Chris Pine has claimed actress Lynda Carter, who played Wonder Woman in the 1970s TV show of the same name, was his “first crush”.

Linda Carter played Wonder Woman in the ‘70s.

“She, along with She-Ra, were probably my first two crushes -- powerful women in skirts,” Pine told people.com.

Pine, who plays the role of Steve Trevor in latest released superhero film Wonder Woman, says he didn’t find his job in the movie all that difficult, as his main task was “falling in love” with Gal Gadot, who plays the title role.

“Basically my job was falling in love with the beautiful Gal and trying to make her giggle,” Pine said.
