Chris Pratt: Fatherhood transformed me, now I prefer PG movies.
Actor Chris Pratt: Embracing Fatherhood and Its Impact on His Career
Chris Pratt, a beloved Hollywood actor at the age of 43, cherishes the role of being a father to his three children. In a recent interview with Men’s Journal, Pratt revealed how fatherhood has transformed him both personally and professionally.
A Shift in Roles and Movie Choices
According to Pratt, becoming a father has influenced the types of roles he seeks in the film industry. He expressed, “It can definitely change the kinds of roles you want to be involved in. I’ve found myself wanting to do more PG movies.”
As a father, Pratt has become more discerning when it comes to the movies his children watch. He admitted, “I see a lot because my kids want to watch them, and to be honest, some of them are bad. And I’m sitting there thinking, ‘This is terrible.’ So at the same time as wanting to make movies that would entertain my kids, I’m also thinking about creating movies that are merciful on the parents.”
Disagreeing with Conventional Wisdom
Pratt challenges the common advice of waiting to have children. He stated, “People say all the time, ‘Don’t rush to have kids.’ I personally disagree. Rush. Have them. Of course, make sure you find a great partner, but don’t wait.”
A Father’s Protective Instincts
Pratt’s recent role in The Terminal List allowed him to explore the depths of a father’s love and protective instincts. He shared, “Whenever you’re put in a position, or even imagine a position, where those kids are in danger, your mind goes to wild places. I mean if I was put through the situations that James was in, I would probably do the same f***ing thing. I think that’s why those storylines resonate so strongly with fathers.”
He further revealed, “I think every dad secretly fantasizes about what they would do if someone ever f***ed with their kids. Or maybe that’s just me and I’m revealing something here! But as someone who’s talked to a lot of dads, I think we all ask ourselves what we would do. That’s one of the reasons Liam Neeson’s movie Taken was such a hit. Us dads are just like, ‘Yes! Get ’em! Use that special set of skills.'”
A Versatile Actor with Iconic Roles
Aside from his dedication to fatherhood, Pratt has made a name for himself through his versatile performances. He recently lent his voice to the iconic character of Mario in the Super Mario Bros. Movie. Additionally, he is well-known for his roles in Guardians of the Galaxy, Parks and Recreation, and Jurassic World.
Chris Pratt’s journey as a father and actor continues to captivate audiences worldwide. His commitment to family and his craft shines through in every role he takes on.
