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.
