THESE days actor Chris Pine has the universe at his feet, thanks to his role as Captain Kirk in the new Star Trek movie.

Not so long ago, however, his final frontier consisted of nothing more exciting than the lecture halls and libraries of the University of Leeds.

Pine, 28, spent a year studying English at Leeds after boldly going to the UK on an exchange programme from California’s Berkeley University in 2000.

Asked about his stay, he said: “I loved it. I miss it. I wouldn’t trade (that] year for anything in the world.

“Leeds offered me everything I could have possibly wanted from a university.”
