Chris Pratt does not hesitate to set himself up as a martyr in the face of haters who vilify him for his conservatism and his Christian faith with an evangelical tendency. Asked about this by Page Six during a screening of Guardians of the Galaxy 3the actor even compared himself… to Jesus!
“It’s nothing new, you know,” he said, before quoting the Gospels from memory: “If the world hates you, know that it hated me before you… This is John 15, 18-20. “Things are like this, there is nothing new. 2000 years ago they hated him too,” continued Chris Pratt, in reference to Christ.

However, if he is the type to turn the other cheek when his faith is attacked, it is different when it comes to his films. Faced with gossip that promises him pitiful flops, Chris Pratt compares himself more willingly… to a rhinoceros!
“Like a rhino, you have thick skin and you rush straight ahead, head down, and if someone gets in your way, you shove your horn straight into their behind!” “, he added, perhaps not measuring the slightly tendentious double meaning of his metaphor.
