Childhood

Chris was born in Virginia, but soon he and his parents moved to the small town of Lake Stevens, Washington. In their struggling household, Chris grew up alongside his older brother Cully and sister Angie. His mother, Norwegian by birth, worked as a supermarket cashier, while his father—who has Norwegian, French, Canadian, and German heritage—worked in gold mining before retraining as a house remodeling specialist. Nobody in the family had any connection to the film industry, and Chris wasn't thinking about it either—he was passionate about wrestling and even won awards at school.

After graduating high school, Chris enrolled in a local college but only lasted one semester. He took on various part-time jobs: club stripper, ticket seller, and waiter at the "Bubba Gump" restaurant in Hawaii. In 2000, actress Rae Dawn Chong spotted him there and recommended him to her friend, a casting agent. That's how Chris's film career began—he earned $750 (his first paycheck!) for a role in the short horror film "Cursed Part 3" and knew he'd found his calling.

Acting Career

Chris began hitting auditions left and right, hoping to land paying gigs and eventually make it big. His efforts paid off when he scored a role in the drama series "Everwood." Though his part was small, the show ran for four seasons and helped the young actor build valuable industry connections.

While still on "Everwood," Chris also appeared in the teen series "Lonely Hearts" starting in 2003. He got a supporting role as a guy named Che.

In 2007, he landed a role in "Take Me Home Tonight" – a box office flop that nonetheless introduced him to comedian Anna Faris, his future wife.

In 2009, Pratt joined the cast of "Parks and Recreation." Chris played Andy Dwyer, a lovably dim unemployed musician who hilariously tries to pass himself off as a tough secret agent. Initially, showrunners planned to write Andy out after season one, but audience response was so positive that Chris stayed through the series finale.

In 2011, Chris landed a role in the sports drama "Moneyball" alongside Brad Pitt. Chris played professional baseball player Scott Hatteberg, a newcomer to the struggling Oakland Athletics. The role required him to hit the gym and shed pounds.

Chris had already proven himself as a gifted comedic supporting player. He appeared in the well-known projects "Movie 43", "The Five-Year Engagement", etc. His roles typically matched his everyman appearance – as Chris put it, he often played "the nice, chubby friend." This proved true when Chris appeared alongside Vince Vaughn in the 2013 comedy "Delivery Man." He played a family man and best friend to the main character, who discovers a youthful mistake left him the biological father of 533 kids.

Significant Moments of the Career Path

Robert Downey Jr. or similar, given Downey's success as Iron Man. But just 20 minutes into Chris's audition, Gunn realized the comedic talent he'd seen in "Movie 43" was perfect for the wise-cracking, fun-loving Quill.

However, the actor had serious work ahead to transform into the real Star-Lord. Two personal trainers (one of whom had previously transformed Chris Hemsworth into Thor) and a dietitian worked with him. Under their control, Chris Pratt lost 27 kilograms in just six months. He not only lost the extra weight but also developed abs worthy of Jason Statham.

"I had just given up drinking beer," joked the actor, but in fact, the process of transformation was quite difficult for him. When he saw the first footage and how great he looked on camera, he instantly forgot about all the difficulties he'd faced. Chris's dramatic transformation from an overweight guy to a ripped superhero brought him online fame and spawned countless internet memes.

The audience met this movie very warmly. Just a week before the world premiere, the "Guardians of the Galaxy" crew announced they'd already started shooting a sequel.

After the blockbuster's release, Chris earned respect not only from audiences worldwide but also from colleagues who'd previously dismissed him as just "Anna Faris's husband." Another major role soon followed. It was a remake of "Jurassic Park", a film that was undoubtedly a cult for Chris and his peers. In 2015, Chris joined Bryce Dallas Howard and Vincent D'Onofrio to heroically save park visitors from rampaging dinosaurs.

His excellent physical transformation opened doors for Pratt to star in glossy magazine photoshoots. After earning the title "Most Stylish Man of September," he graced the cover of InStyle magazine in fall 2016.

That same fall, the blockbuster "The Magnificent Seven" hit theaters, starring Chris alongside Denzel Washington, Matt Bomer, and Ethan Hawke.

Chris's achievements in film and television were honored with his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in April 2017. He joined stellar company with nearby stars including Mark Ruffalo, Ryan Reynolds, Amy Adams, and Dwayne Johnson.

Spring 2017 brought the much-anticipated "Guardians of the Galaxy" sequel, where Quill finally discovered his father's identity. In 2018 Star-Lord and his team joined the Avengers in the blockbuster "Avengers: Infinity War". In addition, the actor starred in the second part of "Jurassic World".

Private Life of Chris Pratt

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris fell in love on the set of the comedy "Take Me Home Tonight". Their relationship moved fast – by the time the movie hit theaters in 2011, they were already married.

"It may seem like Chris is just some guy who likes big cars, but he's actually smart, intelligent and really interesting," Anna told reporters. Chris, meanwhile, admired his wife's sensitive nature and proudly said she loved him despite his weight struggles.

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris got married in 2009 in Bali.

At the end of 2012 their son, Jack was born. Born prematurely, he was very weak and needed special care. There were days when the couple cried and prayed for their son's life and recovery. Fortunately, after all the struggles and medical care, Jack grew stronger.

Chris Pratt is a natural family man. According to him, he doesn't need a million-dollar house or luxury cars to be happy – he already has the most important things in life. He regularly shares family photos on social media with captions like "The Happy Father" and "The Happy Parents."

Unfortunately, in August 2017 fans of the beloved couple were heartbroken by the news: Anna Faris and Chris Pratt were divorcing. Anna hinted that the breakup happened because her husband didn't appreciate her: "I made a mistake – I thought that once you had a relationship, you didn't need to work on it. Life's too short to spend with people who don't appreciate you."

Family friends told journalists that Chris and Anna still loved each other, but couldn't save their marriage due to conflicting priorities: he wanted to focus on his film career while she dreamed of having a bigger family with more children.

Since 2018, he's been dating Arnold Schwarzenegger's daughter Katherine (born in 1989). They married in summer 2019.
