Star Trek actor Chris Pine has pleaded guilty to a drink driving charge in New Zealand.
The star was charged after leaving a party where he was celebrating filming the end of
Z for Zachariah southeast of Christchurch.
While his lawyers asked for him to be discharged because it would hurt his career, the judge
was not so keen and handed him a six-month driving ban.
The 33-year-old was also fined $340 and ordered to pay a further $80 in legal costs.
It didn't look like his fans minded though, as dozens turned up outside the court to catch
a glimpse of him.
Kind of a sure fire chance to see him.
Not only did he stop to give autographs, but he also made a large donation to a New Zealand
charity. Looks like he learned his lesson then.
