Chris Pratt has revealed that he doesn’t really like to be called Chris and even says it’s not his name.

Instead, the Jurassic World actor, whose full name is indeed Christopher Michael Pratt, prefers to be called by his nicknames, including Pratt and CP.

The 43-year-old star, who recently welcomed his second daughter with his wife Catherine Schwarzenegger, revealed that calling him Chris “feels weird”, even from his friends.

Speaking in a Spotlight interview about SiriusXM’s pop culture with Jessica Shaw, the question “What do they call you?” Pratt? Chris replied, “Yes. Prat. CP. You know, CP. “Hey, CP.”

Chris, or rather “CP”, continued: “But no one calls me Chris. My friend, Chad. I went golfing with my friend Chad, my pastor, the other day, and he said, “Nobody calls you Chris? I’ll call you Chris. All right, Chris. You got up. “

“And I said to myself, ‘No, I feel weird. It’s not my name. Don’t call me Chris.

This is one way to distinguish Mario’s actor from the rest of the Hollywood Chris Club, which includes Guardians of the Galaxy star against Marvel colleagues Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth, as well as Chris Pine.

In 2019, Chris Pratt was voted “the worst Chris of Hollywood” and Chris’ battle has continued ever since.

Last year, Chris Hemsworth trolled Chris Evans with a birthday post that included the wrong Chris …

The Australian actor joked in the photo: “Happy 40th birthday, Chris Evans, you will always be number 1 in my book.”

The photo he posted actually included a grinning Chris Pratt instead of the Evans variety.

Many of his followers joined in the joke, commenting that Chris Evans “has changed over the years” or that “Chris Pine looks different,” but there were some who did not suggest that Hemsworth was making a joke.

The confusion continued when Chris Pratt’s own father-in-law, Arnold Schwarzenegger, could not figure out who he was, mistakenly calling him Evans.

In 2021, Schwarzenegger said during a live charity event on Instagram hosted by Pratt: “Hello, Chris вън Evans, oh, not Chris Evans, I’m sorry, I’m going to fuck this whole thing up from the start, Chris Pratt.”
