From Guardians of the Galaxy to GQ cover man. The star of Marvel’s box-office champion film is named Action Hero of the Year in the upcoming GQ Men of the Year issue.
Pratt says he didn’t see his weight as a problem when everyone thought he was too fat for his role.
“You can make a talking raccoon that looks real,” he told GQ. “Why can’t I just be fat?” But he lost weight and got ripped anyway, because he likes the challenge of it. He says Fat Pratt is gone for good: “I’m done with that.”
The star who played Peter Quill shared an encounter with another Marvel Studios alum.
Pratt recalls that Mickey Rourke (Iron Man 2) once shushed Pratt’s son, Jack, on an airplane during a long trip when Pratt’s wife, Anna Faris, was trying desperately to calm the baby down. “Like SHHHH! Like he’s the baby whisperer. Like he’s gonna get the baby to stop crying when the baby’s mother can’t, just by aggressively shushing the baby. M———–. I was like, ‘Damn, the f—–’ Wrestler shushed my baby.’ ”
The December issue of GQ will be available on November 25.
James Gunn is working on the script for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 which will see Pratt return as Star-Lord.
