Guardians Chris Pratt Talks Ego, Diet and Balancing It All – Huffington Post

Diet Comments Off on Guardians Chris Pratt Talks Ego, Diet and Balancing It All – Huffington Post

The day opens with stunning spring weather in Los Angeles. We board the shuttle and half an hour later; we're at The London West Hollywood Hotel, located in the old Bel Age Hotel, From the stars on the reviews, it's posh. However, the stucco building isnt much to look at from the outside.

As we approach the entrance, the luxury begins to whisper.

The buzzing driveway seemed to fade as we entered the grand foyer. The high ceilings, lovely florals, and glittering mosaic floor bring the elegance to view.

We step into the elevator lobby, and I love thelife-size black and white print of a man in a bowler hat carrying a tea-set that adorns the sliding doors of the ground-floorelevator. There are two other elevators with more whimsical embellishments adding to the beauty of this hotel.

It's old Hollywood with modern Hollywood glitz.

Off the elevator and we file into our interview room. It's recognizable by the black sharpie spelling out "Bloggers" on an 8.5"x11" piece of paper hanging on the wall

It's a small room, with a window that has a sweeping view of the Los Angeles skyline. The view seems flamboyant against the muted colors of the room.

One wall is parquet veneer that is a pattern of rectangles forming squares. The colors wash out theroom. An ivory paint with a silver wallpaper printed with a less-silver damask design. In front of the room, a small table covered with ivory linens is the centerpiece. Chairs await our guest.

He enters the room as you'd expect a Star-Lord to enter.

The room is a rumble of applause. Chris Pratt, known for his roles in Jurassic Park and Guardians of the Galaxy, has arrived. Star-Lord or not, his presence is known. Standing at 6'2", Pratt welcomes the recognition.

Pratt talks about seeing the movie Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 for the first time.

His nose scrunches as he speaks. He punctuates with a smile. Then he moves on to discussing his thoughts on his role as Star-Lord and how it transitions from the original to Guardians to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

In Guardians of the Galaxy, we hear Peter Quill talk often of finding his biological father. If you've followed the buzz around the #GotGVol2Event, you know that Kurt Russell was cast as Peter Quill's dad, Ego. It might be the most perfect casting in Hollywood. Ever.

Chris Pratt talks about working with Kurt Russell on and off the screen.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 follows the original with quirky characters and hilarious humor. Star-Lord has some of the funniest lines of any superhero. Like Star-Lord, Chris Pratt is hilarious. He shares scenes that made it into the movie that was not written but ad-libbed.

He did tell us one particular joke, but I don't want to spoil it!

If you follow Chris Pratt on Instagram, you know that it doesn't get much more authentic. He openly shares who he is when not behind a character in a movie. He's an ordinary guy, living life one day at a time as the rest of us. One of the bloggers asks a question from her children who follow Pratt's Instagram.

He's invited to discuss Peter Quill's favorite snack and then Chris Pratt's favorite.

I remember Chris Pratt from Community. He was a little more chubby. He now has an incredibly fit body. Obviously. It's something he's made fun of in the past.

He has worked with March of Dimes, Malaria No More.He delivers it with a boy-next-door kind of style. He's referred to as the "Russell Wilson of Hollywood."

Chris Pratt received a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame last Friday. His wife Anna Faris did live tweets, showing that Chris is a family man. In an interview after interview, he talks about his marriage and being a dad to his son, Jack. How does he balance it all?

"Thanks for asking me that question. Thats a good question. I know Anna gets asked that question all the time, and shes like, How come no one ever asks you that question? I think its not easy.

Its real. A lot of communication. We have help. We have just to plan everything. Everything has to be planned. You manage it by just making sure everyone is doing what they need to be doing. You check in with everyone. I have a staff of people who work for me, and its their jobs to make sure that Im where I need to be.

If I did all the administration in my life, Id never have time to do anything. I told my publicist, 'Im like a parcel. I dont even travel; I just get shipped everywhere.'

I just focus on what I can do. I think you dont have to be present to be a presence, and with technology now, Facetime, little tricks, little things like that. Checking in every day, and nurturing your relationship with your spouse, and not making it just about the kids is important.

We were just in London filming, and I hadnt seen my family in a while. They came to visit me, and stay with me for a few weeks. Anna and I took a weekend trip for ourselves to Paris and left Jack behind. As much as we were enjoying ourselves, we were still saying, "Itd be really fun if Jack were here.

It was good for us to be out there by ourselves, and do that. Just prioritize, work on it, make lists, and probably youre going fail; some of the time. Just do your best."

See Chris Pratt as Star Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in theaters every where May 5th.
