Toddler Jack Pratt was a long-awaited child: his parents met in 2007. Five years later, they had a boy, and the couple was really happy, despite the difficult period that the family had to endure because of the danger to the baby's life. Jack Pratt, son of Chris Pratt, needed constant care, and Anna Faris devoted all her time to the child. Therefore, for some time, her acting career stopped. But Chris Pratt’s career went uphill. This couple was considered one of the most prosperous: there were no scandalous rumors about them, both were confident in each other. Therefore, their divorce was a shock to fans.
Star parents: father
Chriss Pratt, Jack Pratt's father, hails from Virginia, Minnesota in the USA. His birthday is June 21, 1979. It has Norwegian roots: the mother is Norwegian, and in the family of the father there were Norwegians, and French, and Germans. Chris was the youngest in the family, he has an older brother and sister.
Soon after the birth of Chris, the family moved to Washington, where his mother worked in a supermarket, and his father left the work of a gold miner in the mine and was engaged in the reconstruction of apartments. Among the ancestors and relatives of Chris, there was never anyone related to the cinema.
In his school years, Chris was fond of wrestling, and he had certain achievements, marked by prizes. And then it was time to decide on the profession, and the guy went to college, whose studies were not long - about a month. And then Chris set off for free swimming: a stripper in one of the clubs, a ticket salesman, part-time job … Being in Hawaii, where he worked as a waiter, the guy met actress Ray Don Chong, who put in a word for him in front of his agent. It worked …
First films
The film, which began the cinematic journey of Chris Pratt, was called "Damned" and belonged to the horror genre. There, Chris got a passing role, for which he was paid $ 750. Having cooked a little in an actor's party, the guy realized that this was his business, and began to attend auditions. This brought its results: he was invited to the drama "The Dowager's Love" for a supporting role. Nothing special, but the film was released for 4 seasons, and during this time Chris became his own in the world of cinema. In 2003, he began filming in the movie "Lonely Hearts." It was a youth series, where Chris also appeared in a minor role.
Parent meeting
A meeting of Jack Pratt's parents took place on the set of "Take Me Home" in 2007. There Chris got a supporting role, but this was not the main thing: it was important that he met his future wife Anna Faris, whose marriage would last about 10 years. And the film was a failure and was withdrawn from the box office.
This creative union was successful in every sense: both actors chose the comedy genre and were popular.
However, at the time of the meeting, Anna Faris was already a star, and Chris - only at the beginning of her career. And therefore for a long time he will be perceived only as the husband of a famous wife. But he was not at all complex: he was sincerely proud of his Anna.
Before and after Jack is born
The time leading up to the birth of Jack Pratt was very successful for his father, Chris. The actor starred in the 2011 film “The Man Who Changed Everything, ” then in 2013 he was invited to the TV series “Parks and Recreation Areas” and in parallel to the project “Well done Father”.
Particularly widely, luck smiled at him by the beginning of 2014, when the actor was invited to the Guardians of the Galaxy project, and even for the main role - Peter Quill. The director was looking for someone who could "deliciously" play the fun of Star Lord. And comedian Chris came up perfectly.
During the work on the role of Peter Quill, the actor Chris Pratt had to sweat pretty much: it was necessary to lose weight and bring the body into perfect shape. Prior to this, fatty Chris had a solid abdomen and an almost complete absence of muscular relief. However, with the help of a fitness trainer, the actor lost 27 kg in 6 months, and the nutritionist taught him proper nutrition, which allows fixing the result. So there was a change of image, which allows Chris to play brutal heroes at present. And although the actor jokes, saying that he achieved such an effect by simply abandoning beer, in fact, exhausting training was a real test for him.
And then, in 2015, the participation in the "Jurassic World" in the title role, and also successful. Now Chris has become an independent value, out of the shadow of his star wife.
After several more successful projects, Chris Pratt's name was featured on the Walk of Fame in 2017.
Official marriage
After meeting on the set of "Take Me Home", Chris and Anna met for 2 years. I must say that at the time of the meeting on the set, Anna was depressed about her divorce. And when Chris offered her a date, she didn’t really want something new. When, after some time, the star agreed to a meeting, it turned out that the two had a lot in common, including a fascination with entomology: both collected exotic insects.
Relations over the biennium have strengthened, and the couple decided to marry. Which was done in 2009 on the island of Bali. Chris's parents received Anna with enthusiasm and sincerely attached to her.
Chris appreciated in Anna the depth of her inner world, delicate taste and talent. And he was very grateful to her for accepting him for who he was, regardless of his weight, the presence or absence of biceps and brutality.
As for Anna, it was a discovery for her that in the list of Chris's hobbies, in addition to the impressive size of cars, there are many other topics, the discussion of which was interesting to both of them. And she was bribed by his sincere love for her, in which he did not hesitate to admit to either journalists or social networks.
Baby Jack
Little Jack Pratt was born at the end of 2012. It was a long-awaited child, which both parents dreamed about. However, Jack Pratt was born prematurely (for 9 weeks), and his weight did not significantly reach the norm, so the doctors did not give any guarantees. The baby was under constant supervision for a month, and parents were warned that the child would need serious care. Jack had eye problems, and it was not known whether the disease would progress or stop. In any case, Anna and Chris were warned about the prospect of surgery in front of the baby.
A month later, Jack Pratt was already at home and began to slowly gain strength. These were difficult times for the whole family: there were days when parents were not sure that their son would survive until the morning.
And then, as Anna admits, they could only rely on the Most High and the achievements of modern medicine.
And yet, Chris's son Jack Pratt overcame all difficulties, now he is a fairly agile and healthy child.
Despite the fact that the baby's parents planned to have several children, after the tests they endured they only discussed options for adoption or the services of a surrogate mother.
It should be noted that the birth of a child allowed Chris to show his best qualities: he turned out to be a wonderful, caring father, valuing above all non-transitory material achievements, namely his family. According to him, he learned a lot by acting in films, he had a lot of thrills, but nothing gave him such a gamut of feelings as the ability to hold his son in his arms.
At that time, he realized that he already has happiness. Praying for Jack’s health in the intensive care unit, the actor made a promise to be the best father and hoped only that he would be given this opportunity.
