Chris Klein Finds Love Again, Or, Rather, Someone Who Doesn't Have To Get Out Of His Face At This Very Moment

Good, I'd been so worried.

Speaking of his new lifemate, the non-placating thespian said, "You’re not gonna give me the time of day and lay down for me, well, somebody else in this town will because I’ve got this thing that’s working, you know? And I'm very gracious for that."

Apparently the new flame Lindley Gardner competed for his affections with another woman, and Mr. Klein reports it "was very exciting, to say the least."

Thanks to Allah.

Update: Press Junket A-Go-Go: I guess I shouldn't pick on him for this, because all of these celebrities keep getting asked the same questions about their new movie over and over, and of course they pretty much answer the same way every time.

Still, I'm getting tired of hearing about his (gasp!) braces.

With Katie Holmes engaged to Tom Cruise and having his baby, Chris Klein is firmly in the "friend zone" with his ex-fiancee. Although the "Just Friends" co-star isn't terribly broken up about his current situation, he recalls the pain of having a strictly platonic relationship with a girl he liked.

"Her name is Natalie. I remember my freshman and sophomore year of high school I was absolutely in love with her, but she was always busy dating older guys," said Klein. "I had braces and I was kind of a late bloomer pubescence-wise. So I didn't have the juice needed to get out of that. I was in jazz choir and things like that, and she was interested in all that stuff too, so we'd go on the road together. She dated a baseball player. I had no chance."

...

Klein's own confidence grew once he outgrew his scrawniness and became a football player, which helped improve his love life.

"Growing up in Omaha, Nebraska, that's kind of what you do: You play ball and you're good at it and you can have a girlfriend," said Klein. "Luckily, I did play and I was all right at it. So I did get a girlfriend."

The guy has a thousand different ways to say "when I hit puberty," and all of them are wrong.

There's one new Kleinboast there-- good at football. And also-- jazz choir. A very interesting mix of pursuits for this 21st Century Renaissance man.

So we have two more clues regarding this fascinating enigma we call Chris Klein. But, as with all things Kleinian, the more we dig, the deeper the mystery seems to become.

That's from an article by Hanh Nguyen appearing on Omaha.com.
