Twitter erupts with hatred against Chris Pratt after he says his faith helps him deal with haters online: '2,000 years ago they hated him too'



Actor Chris Pratt responded to online hatred by quoting biblical scripture, and that led to even more bilious hatred from many online.

Pratt was being interviewed about his last movie, "Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3," with Page Six when he made the comments.

"That’s nothing new, that’s nothing new, you know?” he replied.

“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,” he said. “That’s the way it is, nothing new, 2,000 years ago they hated him, too."

He went on to say that he dealt with the criticism by mostly ignoring it.

“Oh, just how you deal with anything. Like a rhino, stick your head down, you keep driving forward, you have thick skin and if anyone gets in your way, you stick the horn right up their ass!” he joked.

“When it comes to rejection, I was trained in the crucible of door-to-door sales some 25 years ago,” Pratt added. “So, you can’t turn me away, there’s no stopping us.”

When Page Six published Pratt's comments, many of his haters rushed to criticize him for supposedly comparing himself to Jesus Christ.

"When is Chris Pratt going to sell all his belongings and give the money to the poor like Jesus suggests? Or do we just get to skip parts of the Bible we don’t like?" asked one critic online.

"When you think he couldn't possibly be any more of a prick, he compares himself to Jesus," read another response.

"Am I being an idiot or does anyone else not see this as Chris Pratt essentially saying ‘I’m like Jesus’?" replied another hater.

Others pointed out that Pratt was simply pointing to the biblical teaching that the followers of Jesus Christ would be hated just as he was.

Pratt also scored another blockbuster hit as the voice actor portraying the "Super Mario" video game character in the "Super Mario Bros." movie that has garnered over $1.16 billion in revenue worldwide.

Chris Pratt says he was 'broken' before he was saved by God and met his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, in church



Actor Chris Pratt opened up about feeling "broken" and "struggling" before he met his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger at church.

Pratt made the comments in an interview with Drew Barrymore on her show while promoting his new movie.

He recounted how he felt while sneaking glances at her in church.

"You kind of don't want to be like, 'Whoa, who is that?' at church, you know what I mean," he said. "But I was kind of sneaking some glances and I was like, 'Who is that? Any way, what am I doing? Come on, I'm broken, help me.'"

Pratt married Schwarzenegger in 2019 and has two children with her.

"God has a fast-forward button," he continued. "When it's right, boom. You fall in love, you get married. Now we have two beautiful daughters to add to my family."

He also spoke about being saved.

"My own journey, finding a higher power and leaning on that and being like, 'please save me,' and then feeling saved. And then shortly later finding the woman of my dreams," Pratt added.

The actor was divorced once before he married Schwarzenegger and has a son from that marriage, which ended in 2018.

Many trolls on the left have targeted Pratt with bilious hatred over his profession of Christian faith and their perceived belief that he is a hateful bigot. In a previous interview, he criticized "wackos" on the right and the left who make Americans appear to be more partisan than they actually are.

Pratt is promoting the movie "Super Mario Bros." in which he voices the video game character Mario. He also stars in the third installment of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" franchise.

Director James Gunn jumps to Chris Pratt's defense over star's Christian faith



James Gunn, famed "Guardians of the Galaxy" director, spoke up in vehement defense of actor Chris Pratt, who has unabashedly spoken up about his Christian faith despite being an A-list Hollywood actor.

What are the details?

Gunn defended Pratt on Monday after social media critics called for Marvel to recast Pratt over his Christian and conservative-leaning convictions.

One user in particular shared a split photo of Pratt and "Aquaman" actor Patrick Wilson and captioned it, "Marvel. Hear me out. Just ... replace him."

Gunn in response tweeted, "For what? Because of your made-up, utterly-false beliefs about him? For something that someone else told you about him that’s not true? Chris Pratt would never be replaced as Star-Lord but, if he ever was, we would all be going with him."

For what? Because of your made-up, utterly-false beliefs about him? For something that someone else told you about him that\u2019s not true? Chris Pratt would never be replaced as Star-Lord but, if he ever was, we would all be going with him.

Elsewhere, another social media user asked Gunn if he condoned Pratt sharing homophobic views — which he has not — and Gunn fired back once more.

According to the Independent, the user — whose tweets are limited — inquired Gunn if he was "cool with him being part of a homophobic church."

"He isn’t. I know the church he currently goes to. Do you? (The answer is you don’t, but you heard from someone who heard from someone who heard from someone where he goes to church, so decided, 'yeah, okay, I’ll believe this terrible thing I heard online about this celebrity!')," Gunn wrote.

He isn\u2019t. I know the church he currently goes to. Do you? (The answer is you don\u2019t, but you heard from someone who heard from someone who heard from someone where he goes to church, so decided, \u201cyeah, okay, I\u2019ll believe this terrible thing I heard online about this celebrity!\u201d)

Pratt in 2019 addressed his church and faith, taking to social media where he wrote, “It has recently been suggested that I belong to a church which ‘hates a certain group of people’ and is ‘infamously anti-LGBTQ. Nothing could be further from the truth … I go to a church that opens their doors to absolutely everyone.”

Pratt has yet to issue a response to continued demands he be recast in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" franchise.

Joe Rogan defends A-list actor Chris Pratt against 'insane people' who malign him for being a Christian



Podcaster Joe Rogan has spoken out in vehement defense of Christian A-list actor Chris Pratt, who he says is the subject of much hate due to his religious convictions.

What's a brief history here?

Rogan made the remarks about Pratt following the announcement that the "Guardians of the Galaxy" actor had been tapped to play Mario in the upcoming animated film based on the Nintendo video game series, “Super Mario Brothers.”

In late November, the film's co-producer Chris Meledandri defended Pratt from casting criticism.

"All I can tell you is the voice that he's doing for us, and Mario, is phenomenal," Meledandri said of Pratt's casting. "Yeah I can't wait for people to hear it."

When asked if he understood the potential offense Pratt voicing a traditionally Italian character might cause, Meledandri said, "Well, as an Italian American myself, I understand. You know, I understand the comments ... Charlie Day, who's playing Luigi, actually comes from Italian heritage. Yeah, so that's our nod."

He added that despite the criticism, he doesn't believe that people will be coming en masse to cancel the film upon its release.

"I don't think so. I think they'll have to [see it]," he said. "I don't think so."

What are the details?

During his latest broadcast of "The Joe Rogan Experience," the namesake host said that Pratt only ever gets in trouble "because he's a Christian."

“He’s the nicest f***ing guy I’ve ever met in my life,” he continued. “They’re all insane people that hate their jobs that are sitting in front of the cubicle when their boss isn’t looking they’re tweeting bad things about Chris Pratt.”

He added that social media's treatment of Pratt is nothing more than a "bully pile-on."

“What it is is a bully pile-on,” Rogan insisted. “You see someone being vulnerable and you can snipe at them and you don’t have any repercussions and they’re not in front of you so you attack the guy.”

Rogan recalled a time where he was hunting with Pratt in Utah.

“He’s so nice. Chris Pratt is like one of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my life. He’s genuinely friendly," the host insisted. "I’ve been in hunting camp with him. He’s nice to everybody. My point is I’ve seen him interact with people. He’s super kind, super normal guy.”

Rogan added that many people are so ugly to Pratt because Pratt is open about practicing his Christian faith.

“He’s kind of outside the lines in terms of his ideology, he’s a Christian, and pretty open about it," he said. "Because of that they attack him.”
