Chris Pratt has revealed that Jesus inspires him to ignore the haters and criticisms of his religion.
Now, Pratt is an American actor best known for his work in film and television. He rose to prominence with his role as Andy Dwyer in the popular sitcom Parks and Recreation.
However, since then he has gone on to become one of the biggest names in Hollywood, with starring roles in Jurassic World, The Super Mario Bros Movie and, of course, the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise.
Pratt is known for his comedic timing and affable personality, which have made him a favourite among audiences. Off-screen, he is known for his love of outdoors and fitness, often sharing his adventures and workout routines on social media.
Pratt is also a philanthropist, supporting various charities and causes, including children’s hospitals and animal welfare organisations.
He is also noted for his religious views, having been raised Lutheran and eventually ending up a member of the Zoe Church in LA, which is affiliated with the Hillsong Church.
Pratt recently opened up to Page Six about how his religion helps him deal with haters, agreeing that he has been criticised as a result of his outspoken faith.
“I sure do but that’s nothing new, that’s nothing new, you know?” Pratt told the outlet.
If I was of this world, they would love me just like that but as it is, I’ve chosen out of this world. That’s John 15:18 through 20,” the forty-three-year-old continued.
“That’s the way it is, nothing new, 2,000 years ago they hated him, too,” he added.
Pratt met his now wife Katherine Schwarznegger while at their local church.
“Sweet Katherine, so happy you said yes! I’m thrilled to be marrying you. Proud to live boldly in faith with you. Here we go,” he wrote back in 2019 announcing their engagement.
The pair married in June of that year, and now have 2 children together.
