Mindy Kaling has said she prefers blondes, revealing to Us Weekly that her ideal guy would have looks similar to Chris Pine (who, the last time I checked , veers far more toward brunette) and Chris Evans. In other news, Mindy Kaling apparently digs guys called Chris, a choice I can only applaud her for.
Kaling, the 33-year-old creator and star of The Mindy Project , told Us Weekly :
“I have taste in men like an adolescent girl. I embarrassingly love blond men – hot pinups like Chris Evans and Chris Pine. I feel like people expect me to have an edgy choice, like Justin Theroux, and I’m just like, ‘Nope! I want Captain America!’ “
Mindy Kaling’s taste for blondes wasn’t the only thing discussed in the interview. The actress, who portrayed Kelly Kapoor in the US version of The Office , also chatted about the similarities between herself and Ob-Gyn, her alter ego on The Mindy Project :
“We both have an encyclopedic knowledge of romantic Tom Hanks movies!”
Yet there is one part of Ob-Gyn she can’t match up to:
“I’m a lot more square than her. I’ve never drank the way she does. I’m really a nerd. I go to bed pretty early. Even when I went to Dartmouth – which is a pretty big drinking school – I never took part in anything like that. I was too scared of my parents’ reaction.”
While she was a hit in The Office , it seems Kaling’s latest show has not won over critics in the same way . Are you a Mindy Kaling fan?
