After leaving community college early on, and working odd jobs, Chris headed to Maui, Hawaii where he lived in a Van and a Tent on the beach for a period of time, just hanging out with friends and living the bohemian laid back lifestyle. During his time in Maui, Chris worked for an organization called ‘Jews For Jesus’ and at the age of 19, waited tables at the ‘Bubba Shrimp Company’ restaurant where he was discovered by Actress Rae Dawn Chong who cast him in her directorial debut in the Los Angeles filming of Cursed Part 3.

Chris Pratt is a Christian and married to author Katherine Schwarzenegger, who is the daughter of actor and former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger and journalist Maria Shriver. Chris has a son with his former wife, actress Anna Faris; and two children with Katherine. Chris is a skilled hunger and an avid musician with a knack for playing various instruments including the guitar and drums. When it comes to his religious beliefs, Chris has been quite vocal about his Christian beliefs in the one true God, often quoting Bible verses to those around him.
When asked about his religious beliefs and Chris told Men’s Health that he’s not nearly as “religious” as people thinks he is and stated, “Religion has been oppressive as fuck for a long time, [and] I didn’t know that I would kind of become the face of religion when really I’m not a religious person. I think there’s a distinction between being religious — adhering to the customs created by man, oftentimes appropriating the awe reserved for who I believe is a very real God — and using it to control people, to take money from people, to abuse children, to steal land, to justify hatred. Whatever it is. The evil that’s in the heart of every single man has glommed onto the back of religion and come along for the ride.”
When it comes to Chris Pratt’s political views, he has never stated his support for any particular candidate on either side, however, the fact that he is a Christian, and he embraces Conservative values, can easily be considered as leaning right as these are the values of the Christian Conservatives who love this Country. What is most important to Chris is his deep connection to his faith and many times he chooses to encourage others through inspirational messages such as:
“If you wait for things to be perfect, you’ll miss out on life.”
“Believe in yourself and never give up.”
“Surround yourself with positive influences and support.”
“Be grateful for what you have and appreciate the present moment.”
“Happiness is not found in external achievements, but in inner peace.”
