Actor Chris Pratt recently discussed a pivotal moment from the filming of "Moneyball," where director Bennett Miller provided him with what he described as the worst yet best note. Miller’s directive to Pratt, who was struggling to portray frustration, was to "stop being such an a--hole." This harsh comment, though initially infuriating for Pratt, successfully tapped into the anger needed to make the scene authentic, resulting in the footage used in the final film.
Pratt, known for his role in "Guardians of the Galaxy," also recounted an amusing detail from his past, sharing how a smudged name tag at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. led to him being called 'Christo' for a time. He even considered adopting this as his professional name. In more recent personal news, Pratt shared a story about a unique Christmas gift from his father-in-law, Arnold Schwarzenegger: a large, lifelike portrait of Schwarzenegger as Santa Claus with Pratt's children.
Pratt is married to Katherine Schwarzenegger and they have three children. He also has a teenage son from a previous marriage. The actor's journey from a restaurant server to a Hollywood star, as well as his family life and memorable directorial experiences, continue to be points of interest for his fans.
