Chris Pratt Rebukes Fan for ‘Being a Jerk’ While Wearing a Cross Necklace
Beyond visiting children’s hospitals and building giant crosses on hills, actor Chris Pratt of Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World fame is known for being an “all around nice guy.” However, the movie star has no qualms speaking his mind to rude fans, especially if they’re doing so while wearing cross necklaces.
While exiting an airport, Chris Pratt was swarmed by people looking for autographs. One person looking to get a rise out of Pratt immediately asked him if he heard about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s announced divorce. Pratt responded by simply saying, “I’ll be praying for them, man. That’s too bad.”
After signing several more posters and getting into his car, one fan threw a fit for being missed. Pratt responded, “You should be nicer. You got a cross on your chest and you’re cussing me out. I just made you guys a bunch of money right now. Don’t be a jerk.”
Pratt regularly talks about his faith in interviews and on social media. This week on the Stephen Colbert show while promoting his new movie The Magnificent Seven, he explained the story behind building the steel-beam cross on Easter in Texas with some buddies. Colbert replied, “If you were helping people drag a cross up a hill, I think more people would go to church.” Watch the video beginning at 4:31 to see why Pratt carried his cross.
