Chris Pratt came under fire on Monday, October 18, after screenwriter Amy Berg tweeted (jokingly, of course) that one of Hollywood’s Chrises – Pratt, Evans, Hemsworth, or Pine – had to go.
Chris Pratt began to trend on Twitter shortly after, as users dubbed him “The Worst Chris” for his alleged support of Donald Trump, among other things.
Mark Ruffalo, Pratt’s Avengers: Infinity War co-star, quickly defended Pratt in a tweet and called the ordeal a “distraction” from the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
In contrast to Pratt, Ruffalo is open about his political affiliations and has endorsed democrat Joe Biden’s candidacy.
What made people call him “the worst Chris”?
Pratt first gained the ire of Twitter in 2019, after Umbrella Academy actress Ellen Page criticized him for attending Hillsong, an allegedly anti-LGBTQ church. Pratt has since denied that the church is anti-LGBTQ.
More recently, Pratt was absent from the roster of Avengers: Endgame cast members during the “Voters Assemble” event on Tuesday, October 10. The event was a fundraiser for Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s presidential campaign. Among those present at the fundraiser were Ruffalo (The Incredible Hulk), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Chris Evans (Captain America), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), and Zoe Saldana (Gamora).
The Guardians of the Galaxy actor has not spoken publicly on his politics. – Rappler.com
