He was until rumors started going around that he was super right wing and attends far right churches that hate gay people.
He has denied it and says the church he goes to is very welcoming and loves everyone. But the guy who runs the church Pratt goes to admits he modeled his church after a notorious homophobic church who has "camps" they send gay kids to to turn straight.
Then he wrote an article this year saying he won't endorse any candidate which people took to mean he's a trump supporter but is afraid of hurting his career if he admits it since his fan base is mostly marvel nerds.
Then he came out and apologized about his religious stuff and said something like "its not my place to push God on people" and that while he loves God religion itself has been bastardized and he understands why people hate it.
It's just been a strange back and forth.
That said as long as he isn't saying or doing any fucked up stuff to people most people don't care. He's still a huge star for a reason. Because he hasn't really been controversial. He seems like a legitimately nice guy. But who knows I guess. He is an actor.
they're talking about Pratt saying he won't endorse any candidate. As a hint, most pastors don't have a fan base of mostly marvel nerds, but actors who have been in marvel films probably do.
Exactly. And the hero shouldn’t be some buff rough and tumble action hero with magic dinosaur powers. He / she should be an academic struggling to survive using his / her wit and knowledge of dinosaurs.
He sucks. He and his wife bought a gorgeous historically-significant midcentury home in LA, designed by famous architect & landscape architect—and leveled ALL of it. Even the landscape. I have architect friends out there who called me in a fury. Lots of other stuff he’s done that’s not cool, but that’s my big beef.
And suddenly it fell into place. He and his wife were the ones who bought, and tore down the Zimmerman House.
This is why the US has no architectural identity, it's just build and tear down, had it not been destroyed last year, it would have celebrated 75 years of existence this year.
Why would someone buy a five bedroom house if what they wanted was a mansion?
I agree with you wholeheartedly. It was gross & he’s an asshole. But apparently we’re in the minority and there are hordes of downvoters who think “history, schmistory”.
The house was incredibly important, with not only the home itself but the landscape, designed by renowned architects. It’s a loss. And all so they can build some ugly $10 million McMansion that is way too big for that site.
Um. It’s a historical home that was awaiting preservation status. He didn’t inform the city of his demo—on purpose. Sure, go ahead and buy a Frank Lloyd Wright & tear it all down. Who cares, right? Ridiculous.
Yeah! Who cares about historically significant architecture. You’re right! Why preserve anything? Let’s all tear all of it and put up tract housing? Obviously you’re not a fan of architectural history. But many are. And the home was on the list to get preservation status. They did the demo illegally without informing the city of it, bc they knew the significance of the property. But I’m sure an internet troll knows a lot more about historic preservation.
And you’re right! Who cares about demolishing a property down to the damn dirt. Waste? Who cares, right?!
I have one. And i understand the importance of historically significant sites. And I also understand why it’s shitty to illegally demo an entire site knowing full well the significance of a property. It was slated for preservation. But, internet troll, I’m sure you understand this much more clearly than I do. Let’s all just level Corbusiers, Wright homes. Meh, who cares! FFS.
I see where you went with this. Such a dumb straw-man take.
I'll answer in that person's stead; nah, we just don't care for any of them. We don't care to know or hear about them at all, yet that's all religious people ever do. Preach, preach, preach, preach, "DAMNATION", preach... Serves no purpose other than to annoy us.
That may be what you think you're doing, but in reality you're just out here making an ass of yourself trying to be a debate bro. They are stupid as fuck also, btw.
I don’t really care to be honest, I highly doubt he is fractionally as bad as you depict him and/or your sources does.
Is it bigotry if I say I don’t tolerate people because of the same reasons as you AND they happen to be non white ? Because every time I do criticize them I get called a bigot
We’re not talking about the same level of misogyny, racism and religion supremacy when comparing Chris Pratt and Muslims, by an order of magnitude, and you fully know it
As far as I can find, he didnt vote for Trump, he just didnt endorse either candidate and got a lot o flack for writing a piece on trying to stay neutral in politics. He has a history of contributing to democratic candidates, or at least he did back in the Obama days.
I used to liked Crisp Rat until I found this out. Haven't seen any of his movies since then but my son likes the Mario movie so we watch that occasionally.
Where did you see he voted for Trump? Or are you assuming that? His political contributions have been 100% democratic according to the Goods Unite Us app
Ya people are just full of hate and ignorance anymore. God forbid anyone see good in people. Oh, you know this person? You must be a nazi. Oh, your parents are conservative? You must abandon them. No room for nuance or growth or the unknown! I didn't vote so I'm a fascist.
I just hate his stupid face. I dated a guy who was just like Andy from Parks (pre-April) who looked like him. I just get bad vibes. And he's a sub-par actor.
It’s because he’s religious and republican. People don’t realize you can like the art and not the artist. I don’t like Stephen King as a person, but as a reader, I love his books. It’s sad that you can’t like a person just for who they are as a human. It’s all politics these days. My grandmother was republican and my grandfather was democrat, they were married 55 years. My husband and I have different views, we’ve been together for 12 years.
Racism bigotry misogyny .. sorry Trumper.... that ain't politics. That's hate speech and hatred. You don't get a pass claiming that that kind of vile garbage is just politics.
