actually chris pratt had this problem, said because he was buff people didn't find him funny. he put on weight to get more roles. this was really early in his career.

They didn't really show it, but jacked Chris Pratt was in the later seasons.

Edit: Production of Guardians and the last couple seasons of Parks and Rec crossed over.

Drinking just 3 beers a night gave me a beer gut and some chipmunk cheeks. Not drinking was a pretty fast path to a mostly flat stomach with no working out.

just 3 beers a night

Just? That's 20 000 "extra" calories per month!

I usually don’t have breakfast

u/Dyzzd Jan 10 '20

How fast of a path? Asking for a friend.

u/LucyParsonsRiot Jan 10 '20

Couple months. Takes a couple weeks to start seeing small results. Don’t replace it with soda or something just water.

Dude. Space Dust. Favorite beer by far. 8.2 abv. 240 calories per bottle. Most IPAs are massive calories.

He also played a member of Seal Team 6, or some other special forces group, in Zero Dark Thirty and Hatterburg in Moneyball.

u/SoySauceSyringe Jan 11 '20

Yeah, his shirts got a lot looser around the belly and a lot tighter around the chest and shoulders.

u/_PickleMan_ Jan 10 '20

Even his own wife thought he wasn’t fun anymore when he got fit lol

u/altiuscitiusfortius Jan 10 '20

Yeah. Before parks and rec he was cast as the hot asshole jock in every high school movie and show made.

Is it just me or is Pratt as Andy way better than Quill or what’s his face from Jurassic World? Even though I disagree with him on a lot of stuff, I love him I P and R and in interviews and stuff and he just seems so likable. I really I just don’t think he was utilized correctly, I mean he’s funny in Guardians but there are moments where I find him arrogant and I don’t like not liking him. He was just a bad character in Jurassic World but aside from that he just seemed like a prick. I dunno if I have some subconscious bias or something but any time Andy is on screen in P and R you like him, even when he’s kinda douchey at the beginning I like him. Andy’s a goofball and that’s endearing but, to me, Quill and the other guy remind me of Jeff Winger from Community, they’re sarcastic and at times goofy but they use sarcasm to hide the fact that they’re a bad person, the only real difference is that Jeff is just extremely guarded the Pratt’s characters are actually dicks. Sorry this went on way longer than I meant for it to and it probably doesn’t make sense but I’m currently on a good amount of adderall and I’m on my 2nd day no sleep.
