Chris Pratt understands that social media trolling comes with success in Hollywood, but he wants to do his best to protect his family from it.
In a new interview with Men’s Health, the actor addressed the public
backlash to an Instagram post he wrote about his wife, Katherine
Schwarzenegger, last November.
“I said something like, ‘Find someone who looks at you the way
my wife sees me.’ And then I gave her some s*** in the thing and said, ‘But
I love you. I’m so grateful for my wife — she gave me a beautiful, healthy
daughter,'” Pratt recalled. “Then a bunch of articles came out and said,
‘This is so serious. I can’t believe Chris Pratt would thank him for a
healthy daughter when his first child was born prematurely. It’s on his
ex-wife. Such a sarcasm. And I’m like, He’s f***ed up. My son is going to
read him one day. He’s nine. And it’s engraved in Digital Stone.”
Pratt
and Schwarzenegger are parents to two young daughters. He shares son Jack
with his ex-wife Anna Faris.
“It really f***ing bothered me, man. I cried about it,” Pratt
told Men’s Health. “I was like, I hate that these blessings in my life — for
people close to me. – are a real burden.”
In the article, Pratt
also addressed misconceptions about his relationship with organized religion
after talking about God during an acceptance speech at the MTV Movie &
TV Awards in 2018.
“I didn’t know I’d be the face of religion when I’m not a
really religious person. I think there’s a difference between being
ReligiousObserving customs created by man, sometimes appropriating the fear
for which I believe is a very real God- and using it to control people, take
money from people, abuse children , steals land, does it to justify hatred.
it’s whatever. The evil that is in the heart of every man has climbed on the
back of dharma and has come along for the ride.”
Pratt next stars
in the Amazon Prime Video thriller series “The Terminal List” about a Navy
SEAL whose platoon is killed in action.
