10+ Things Fans Didn't Know About Chris Pratt

The show revolved around Dr. Andy Brown and his family. After the sudden death of his wife, Andy relocates his family to Everwood, Colorado — his late wife's favorite place on earth.

Chris played Bright Abbott, son to Everwood's only other doctor, Harold Abbott.

Chris lost 60 pounds in just over six months for the role of Star-Lord.

When he was asked by Men's Journal how he was able to accomplish this incredible feat, Chris replied “Three or four hours a day of just consistent, ass-kicking hard work.”

In June of last year, Chris married Katherine Schwarzenegger, daughter of the former governor of California (and former T-800), Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Can you imagine a family dinner where Star-Lord and Col. Matrix sit down at the table together?!

To be fair, Chris was going up against his fellow Passengers costar, Jennifer Lawrence. Clearly, Jennifer is in a league of her own when it comes to talking smack.

Chris, on the other hand, just seems too nice!

A quick scroll through Chris's Instagram feed reveals that he's quite the outdoorsman.

Practically every other picture is Chris holding either a fishing rod or a landed fish, like this beautiful large-mouth bass pictured here.

While giving an interview about Guardians of the Galaxy with ET, Chris put his skills to the test!

He's calm as a cucumber and seems perfectly at ease, continuing to answer the interview questions as he goes along.

Chris was asked to be a guest host on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

He gives a pretty impressive opening monologue and has a positively hilarious interview with Margot Robbie.

"Raising the 12th man flag is a memory I’ll never forget. The electrifying crowd, the energy at [CenturyLink], the fact that I used Just For Men beard dye on my eyebrows and left it on for [too] long and looked like Groucho Marx, all of it. Unforgettable," Chris wrote via his Instagram account.

It happened when Chris was filming a "behind the scenes" video for the second season of Parks and Rec. In the clip, Chris pretends to get a text from Steven Spielberg offering him the lead role.

Five years later, that's exactly what happened!

Sir Elton would be proud of Chris's piano chops! I was expecting him to be terrible and was almost bowled over backward when I heard that sweet melody begin to play.

If Chris is taking requests, my vote goes to "Your Song."

Chris actually trains at an MMA gym in Los Angeles called Unbreakable. He had the honor of being a cornerman for his friend Adel Al Tamimi during a Bellator fight card.

A cornerman is another term for a coach or trainer.

Chris has dedicated countless hours and dollars to helping improve the lives of children. On his Instagram, Chris wrote, "Here I am with my new buddy Will. I'd never miss a chance to spend time with my fiends [sic] at Ronald McDonald House New York @rmhnewyork they do such amazing work."

As you can see, sometimes things don't go as planned. Chris posted a companion picture that shows how his other arm is just as badly bruised.

I know you're a superhero, Chris, but that's what stunt people are for!

Take a look at this incredible video Chris made of his home farm. Watching he and his young son feed their sheep is about the cutest thing I've ever seen.

Chris' farm skills have even garnered national recognition!

Chris' Romney sheep took home a blue ribbon at Fiberpalooza — a kind of agricultural festival of sorts.

The animal you see him pictured with above is named Prince Rupert, the ewe's father.

“There’s very few people in the world who I can expect to understand exactly what I’m going through,” Pratt told Vanity Fair.

“There’s going to be a point in life where you’re going to have to prove that your family is more important to you than show business.”

Even though he was once the top wrestler in the state, that doesn't mean he hasn't had his fair share of losses!

When asked by Vanity Fair about his losses contributing to his "character building," he responded, "I’d be devastated. Because I put everything into it, and if a kid beat me . . . but it’s good."

"Then come back and wrestle him again. I wrestled the same kids for 10 years."

If you are wondering what that is, it's a form of iron, which is a huge industry.

The Pratt family had to move to Alaska so that Mr. Pratt could work in a gold mine.

He ended up dying in 2014, but Chris Pratt does not have any doubt that he made his father proud.

"I was selling coupons for things like oil changes or trips to a spa," he said to Vanity Fair.

But he worked hardest on selling himself, trying to pitch himself to different gigs over and over again.

"I feel like it was perfectly planned. People talk about rejection in Hollywood. I’m like, 'You’re outta your [expletive] mind. Did you ever have someone sic their dog on you at an audition?'"

Whether it was about holidays, vacations, or spending enough time with each parent, they had long discussions about what to do with Jack.

It all came down to one thing: respect. They decided to not hold any grudges, and ensure Jack stays happy.

His brother wanted to be an actor but ended up joining the army, but there were never any bad feelings between them about Pratt's success as an actor.

"There’s just a great and beautiful country, and it was designed to be driven across. You don’t have to drive in the city, but don’t sleep on getting behind the wheel and just exploring this country. We used to road trip everywhere, and it’s American," he told Collider.

"I would probably bring back my dad, who passed away just before Guardians of the Galaxy came out, and then I would show him Guardians of the Galaxy. And then, if he didn’t like it, I’d bring back a known criminal and have him beat him up on Instagram live."

He thinks his weight made him funnier and, because of that, he kept getting cast in dorky, funny roles.

But he thought it was better than playing the bad boyfriend so he went along with it for a long time.

"Obnoxious. I was obnoxious, really hyperactive, disruptive...but also Dad was very, very strict, so if I got yelled at, I would stay silent for a long period of time. I was really sensitive. I cried a lot. I was a crybaby for a long time. And kind of perverted. I was like a little perv."

"It was just recently, in the last few years since I’ve become an adult, that I’ve learned to keep my clothes on. And even then, I really haven’t. I got yelled at by NBC for getting naked."
