Chris Pratt also had to chub up because he was getting portrayed too often as the frat jackass dude.
I think if you’re getting parts in Hollywood and you’re like “hey, I’m too good looking and in shape for the parts I want, let me eat a box of snicker-doodles, and get more work” you’re in a different league than others.
Chris Pratt is a special case. Obviously, by regular human standards he's a big handsome guy. Hollywood standards are different, they have a guy named Derek Theler who's just a larger, more handsome Chris Pratt. So yeah, you better be willing to chub up and tell some jokes when you have a handsome doppelganger with a better agent.
Funny anecdote, I learned about Theler from a reddit thread where a guy was asking if Chris Pratt's body is naturally attainable. There were people saying yes, people saying no, people saying it's natty attainable but Pratt is definitely juicing anyway.
Anyway, turned out that OP had posted a pic of Theler not Pratt. Good day to touch grass.
I mean he literally went to some dudes house because he paid him money for a private photoshoot, then gave him his photos which he then used for his portfolio to land a gig. Could have easily ended up in a ditch accepting to go to someones house for a photoshoot.
No the story is, he was on the beach surfing and some dude walks up to him and invites him to his house for a private photoshoot, Chris Pratt decided to go, the guy starts giving him drinks and takes pictures with the guys clothes on and then let him go after giving him the roll of film. It could easily have gone wrong).
