Fans are amazed at how actor Chris Pratt has evolved over the years from controversial figure to religious family man.

The 43-year-old actor once made an X-rated joke about Kim Kardashian and her sex tape while filming Parks and Recreation – which he now regrets

His followers have a little trouble reconciling the old Chris Pratt with the one who now regularly quotes biblical scriptures during interviews.

On Monday, he told Page Six that he is not bothered by the haters who criticize his view of Christianity and Jesus.

“But it’s nothing new, it’s nothing new, you know?” he said.

Further says: ‘That’s the way it is, nothing new, 2,000 years ago they hated him [Jesus] also.’

And, then Pratt begins to recite a passage from the bible.

‘If I were of this world they would love me just as much, but as it is, I chose out of this world. It is John 15:18 to 20.’

The actors’ faith has come under scrutiny over the years. He attended the Zoe Church, linked to the controversial Hillsong Pastor, who had a reputation for being anti-LGBTQ.

During his 2018 acceptance speech at the MTV Movie and TV Awards, he preached: ‘God is real. God loves you. God wants the best for you. Believe it; Away.”

Pratt is probably best known for playing the role of Andy Dwyer on the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation.

He was initially supposed to play the role for six episodes, but the dim-witted but lovable character became so popular that it helped propel his film career as he went on to star in blockbusters, including movies in the Marvel the Cinematic Universe and the Jurassic Park franchise.

He also played supporting roles in the films Wanted, Jennifer’s Body, Moneyball, Zero Dark Thirty, among others.

During the height of his career, his personal life took a hit when he split from his then-wife Anna Faris, with whom he was married from 2009 to 2018 and shares a 10-year-old son named Jack.

In 2019, he married the 33-year-old writer, Katherine Schwarzenneger, the daughter of the legendary actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The couple share two daughters. Lyla they welcomed in 2020 and Eloise in 2022.

The couple looked blissfully happy as they attended the event North American premiere of Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 in Hollywood in April.

Pratt also appeared on the Drew Barrymore Showed up with his wife last month while talking about her new book, The Gift of Forgiveness.

The actor shared with the host how his life was ‘broken’ before he met Schwarzenegger.

He told how he was shocked when he first saw Schwarzeneggger calling her the ‘woman of my dreams’, whom he first saw in church.

“There was a moment in my life where I really struggled and felt really broken,” he said.

“For me, my own journey of finding a higher power and leaning on it and feeling like, ‘Please save me,’ and feeling saved.”

‘And soon after met the woman of my dreams. It’s all about timing. There’s a perfect plan out there for you,’ he said in part. “You have to have faith.”
