Yes or No, Is Paul Wesley too thin to play Kirk?

Yes or No, Is Paul Wesley too thin to play Kirk?

Paul was photographed shirtless on vacation this week, and I think he looks great!

Yes he's thinner than Shatner, but still looks super fit and healthy. He's got a wiry frame that's more like a young Nimoy, but I've gotten used to it when he's on the show. It sort of balances out when he's standing next to Ethan Peck who's larger than Nimoy was on TOS.

Surprised they didn't put Kirk and Spock together, but no complaints from me as a Chapel/Spock shipper! Might have to get these lol

From the article: "Therefore, the actors in this proposed Star Trek series only have to look as old as the TOS crew looked in, say, 1972. That year, William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy were 41 years old. Meanwhile, current Kirk actor Paul Wesley is 43 now, and current Spock actor Ethan Peck is 39. Throw in the fact that they each look younger than they are, and these two actors would look perfect for a new Star Trek series that takes place after The Motion Picture. With my proposed new Star Trek series, Paramount could attract new fans while giving old ones something we’ve wanted to see for years: an onscreen version of the franchise’s “lost years."
