“I said something like, ‘Find someone who looks at you the way my wife looks at me.’ And then I gave her some shit in the thing and said, ‘But I love you. I was like, I hate that these blessings in my life are — to the people close to me — a real burden.” “That is f – – ked up. “It has recently been suggested that I belong to a church which ‘hates people’ and is ‘infamously anti-LGBTQ.’ Nothing could be further from the truth. “I’m not sure I touched anybody.” “If you are a famous actor and you belong to an organization that hates a certain group of people, don’t be surprised if someone simply wonders why it’s not addressed,” tweeted Page, who came out as a trans man in 2020.

The anti-Pratt backlash is still going strong, as Pratt denies any affiliation to the controversial megachurch Hillsong.

As a result, there’s a widespread perception that Pratt got more support for being called the “worst Chris” than Brie Larson or Anthony Mackie received after being targeted by bigoted hate campaigns. The response to this interview highlights the recursive nature of the anti-Pratt backlash. This issue is exacerbated by the way Pratt’s Hollywood friends leap to his defense. Actor Elliot Page criticized him for supposedly attending Hillsong in 2019, but Pratt clarified this week that he actually attends Zoe Church… whose pastor modeled his church on Hillsong, and has espoused homophobic views in the past. (The Daily Dot has reached out to Pratt’s representatives for comment.) Chris Pratt remains one of Marvel‘s most divisive stars, caught in a cycle of low-stakes backlash.

'It feels weird. It's not my name. Don't call me Chris,' Chris Pratt said he told a friend recently.

Chris Pratt has addressed, for the first time, online backlash he received from a previous comment he made about his wife and older daughter.

And there's a lot of stuff that people have literally just made up about him -- about his politics, about who he is, about what he believes of other people, you know?" "I never went to Hillsong," Pratt told the outlet. "Chris is unspeakably kind to people; he goes out of his way to help kids. I was like, I hate that these blessings in my life are -- to the people close to me -- a real burden" "And I'm like, that is f----- up.

I’m so thankful for my wife — she gave me a beautiful, healthy daughter,’” he recalled. Despite this, fans still felt the wording of Chris’s tribute was insensitive toward both Anna and Jack.

Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World star Chris Pratt explains why he no longer wants people to call him “Chris,” preferring a shorter nickname.

Of all the actors named "Chris" in the HCC, the Guardians of the Galaxy star shares the closest on-screen friendship with Hemsworth, whose Mighty Thor was first paired with Star-Lord in Avengers: Infinity War. The duo share the screen once more in the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder, an experience Pratt raved about. Pratt's next MCU appearance as Star-Lord will be in Thor: Love and Thunder, which opens in theaters on July 8. He will also play the voice of another pop culture icon as Mario in the animated Super Mario Bros. movie. During an interview on SiriusXM's Pop Culture Spotlight With Jessica Shaw, Pratt spoke about his unique affiliation with the Hollywood Chris Club (HCC). The group consists of Pratt, his fellow MCU actors Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth and an additional seat for Star Trek's Chris Pine. When asked what name he normally goes by, Pratt explains how his friends and colleagues on film productions never refer to him by his common first name. "He is like Thor in real life," said Pratt. "He’s the sweetest dude. "Yep. Pratt. CP. You know, CP. 'Hey, CP,'" said Pratt. "But no one calls me Chris. My friend, Chad. I went golfing with my friend, Chad, my pastor the other day and he was like, 'No one calls you Chris? I'm gonna call you Chris. Alright, Chris. You're up.' And I was like, 'No, it feels weird.

Chris Pratt and James Gunn have reacted to the online backlash that the Guardians of the Galaxy star has dealt with over the past couple of years.

How the online landscape will change for Chris Pratt is yet to be seen, especially since this interview could have an effect on the matter. As James Gunn’s own run-ins with internet controversy saw him temporarily removed from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the man knows the territory that Chris Pratt is traveling rather well. Marvel Cinematic Universe star Chris Pratt has seen the not-so-nice side of things, especially in the backlash to his birth announcement for one of his daughters.

In his Men's Health interview, Pratt said that he believes public perception of him changed after he accepted the Generation Award at the 2018 MTV Movie & TV ...

While Pratt said that he doesn't consider himself "a religious person" in the Men's Health interview, he has shared a lot about his Christian beliefs on social media, in interviews, and in speeches. In the Men's Health interview, Pratt said that he was never a member of that church. I am a man who believes that everyone is entitled to love who they want free from the judgement of their fellow man." The evil that's in the heart of every single man has glommed on to the back of religion and come along for the ride." Asked why he didn't clarify that at the time, he said, "I'm gonna, like, throw a church under the bus? He did say that he attends Zoe Church, which was modeled after Hillsong and founded by a former Hillsong preacher, according to Refinery29. In another moment of backlash, in 2021, Pratt posted an Instagram about his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, and thanked her for giving him "a gorgeous healthy daughter." (The others usually included, for the record, are Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and Chris Pine.) While the actor gained fans for his roles as Andy on the sitcom Parks and Recreation and Star-Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, Pratt has also managed to attract a lot of negative attention. I didn't know that I would kind of become the face of religion when really I'm not a religious person. "Maybe it was hubris," he told Men's Health. "For me to stand up on the stage and say the things that I said, I'm not sure I touched anybody. I go to a church that opens their doors to absolutely everyone." Read on to see what else the Marvel star had to say.

"The Terminal List" features more intense action and even darker enemies than Prime Video's audience has experienced before.

You know what went down, you have sources telling you what went down, and you're essentially doing recreations of something that was real, and you're wanting to honor what really happened. But when it came to the elements that we could control, we try to make them very real." He's very obviously very gracious in the way he did it, but he was able to articulate things that were not real and implement the changes we needed to make it more grounded in some regard, even though this story is obviously fantastical and not based in reality with this big conspiracy and all that stuff. Whether you're looking for news and entertainment, thinking of joining the military or keeping up with military life and benefits, Military.com has you covered. We loved it, and most importantly, it puts you in the moment." "So we never had to teach those guys how to move the gun. You want to see these guys, you know, they are human, and they do get shot, they do have to reload, they do have to sometimes expose themselves for one another. "Because of that, you have to be careful about front-loading a piece with any villainy, because it looks like mustache-twirling. "We had a team of guys sniffing that stuff out for us, because, honestly, a lot of that would go over our heads. I think there was a bit of pressure, but mostly because we were really, really mindful of the operator community that would watch this. My guess is that folks who like Jack Ryan are going to really like this." "The Terminal List," available for streaming on July 1, is the latest entry in Prime Video's collection of shows that feature military themes or have veterans as their lead characters.

On SiriusXM's Pop Culture Spotlight with Jessica Shaw earlier this week, the 43-year-old actor claimed that his closest friends and family refer to him as "CP" ...

Yeah, I've learned now”. Don't call me Chris.’” It's not my name.

Chris Pratt stars in 'The Terminal List,' Amazon's adaptation of Jack Carr's novel about a Navy SEAL trying to unravel a vast conspiracy.

Most of the rest of the series is people driving around in the dark, skulking in the dark, experiencing headaches in the dark and engaging in pew-pew-pew-level gunplay. In a show that generally suffers from an Ozark level of reduced lighting — Ozark and The Terminal List are produced by THR‘s corporate siblings at MRC Television — Pratt gives a matching performance. Because Reece has been written without a shred of an individual voice, making use of none of Pratt’s established appealing traits, you’ll be rooting for him for one of two reasons: First, he’s a SEAL and therefore invariably heroic; or second, because the pilot ends with a manipulative event that turns tragedy into cheap narrative shorthand. Not a single person he’s attempting to avenge received enough screen time to justify behavior that even Fox News — the near-exclusive news outlet of anybody watching TV in The Terminal List — figures makes Reece a domestic terrorist. The Terminal List was adapted from the first of five Jack Carr novels built around the character of James Reece (Pratt). Reece is a Navy SEAL commander, and in the series’ opening scene, his platoon is sent on a mission that goes very, very wrong. Or perhaps his greatest adversary is his own brain, because Reece is experiencing hallucinations and dissociative episodes that could make him a danger to himself and others.

Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt addressed rumours linking him to an 'anti-LGBTQ' church, claiming he's not a religious person.

If it’s like the Westboro Baptist Church, that’s different." When asked by writer Mickey Rapkin why he didn't explain that he's not linked to Hillsong back when he responded to Page, Pratt said: "I’m gonna, like, throw a church under the bus? "Whatever it is.

Pratt, 43, goes full military as Navy SEAL James Reece in the first adaptation of a 2020 novel by best-selling author (and former SEAL platoon commander) Jack ...

Carr insists the "Terminal" tactical scenes are so effective that "a veteran operator sitting down to watch this is going to know we really put in the time to get this right." While Amazon has not signed up for more, Pratt already has a new training boost from May newborn Eloise, who has strengthened his family bond and reintroduced him to "sleep deprivation." It was the perfect fit, and he crushed it," says Pratt. "And he's such a young kid to me, so he can represent stolen youth. Then, after seeing Pratt transform to a SEAL Team Six operator in one of his first movie roles, the Oscar-winning 2012 drama "Zero Dark Thirty," the budding author used Pratt as the inspiration for Reece, his main character. "Patrick's really got the right look, the right vibe; he's tough. That was a challenge."

The 'Parks & Rec' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star is in dour mode in Amazon Prime Video action drama.

He thinks the headache and hallucinations are from a concussion, but in reality he has a brain tumor. He returns to the U.S. with a bunch of caskets, a headache and hallucinations. Constance Wu plays a journalist investigating the ambush; she’s mainly around to announce factual discoveries and outline the plot. In “The Terminal List” Pratt plays Navy SEAL commander James Reece. As the series begins, his entire platoon is wiped out in an ambush. He will kill lots of people in spectacular Navy SEAL super-guy shootouts. It’s like somebody put a spigot in him and drained the fun right out.

...To have them want me to be a part of it was humbling and an honour." Wu: "The way I choose my roles is by trying to do something different than the thing I did before. We employed several military members both in front of and behind the camera. We were hyper focussed on authenticity and honouring the community. And the thing I did before this was 'Hustlers' so to go from playing a stripper to a war correspondent, I felt like that sounds like fun because it's so completely different and it was." Pratt: "It was the entire driving force behind all of our creative ambition.
