Hollywood's golden boy Chris Pratt, who just starred in the Western remake "The Magnificent Seven," does not shy away from talking about his Christian faith.
He is also known for being an all-around nice guy, so when a fan encounter left the star upset, something must have really bothered him.
The incident, which was captured by TMZ, all started as Pratt was exiting the LAX airport and headed towards his SUV. Fans swarmed the actor asking for autographs, and the TMZ reporter began by asking him if he has heard about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's divorce.
Pratt, who is happily married to actress Anna Faris, simply responded by saying, "I'll be praying for them, man. That's too bad." The reporter soldiered on, saying that Pratt and Faris might replace Pitt and Angelina as Hollywood's next "it" couple, but Pratt ignored him as he continued to sign posters for his fans.
Even as he got inside his car, Pratt did not stop signing autographs. But when he finally went to leave, one fan threw a fit since his poster was not signed. The fit did not go unnoticed by the actor, who called his fan out for his rude behaviour.
"You should be nicer. You got a cross on your chest and you're cussing me out. I just made you guys a bunch of money right now," Pratt says, referring to fans selling Hollywood stars' autographs. "Don't be a jerk."
The fan tried to reason with the actor, but Pratt's driver sped off after the encounter.
Just recently, Pratt told Parade magazine that he plans to take a short break from acting to spend more time with his wife and 3-year-old son Jack.
"I've been on the road for 14 months. I did three movies back to back to back, so I'm taking six months off," he said, referring to "Passengers," "The Magnificent Seven," and "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2."
"I'm taking Jack to Jack's Beach - which is what we named the little stretch of beach on an island up on the San Juan Islands where we got a place," he continued. "We're going to go back to the fort we built about a month and a half ago when we went for a short visit and see if that's still there. If not, we're going to build it again."
