Chris Pratt’s Powerful Message About Handling Fame
Pratt recently responded to The Late Show host Stephen Colbert when Colbert asked if intense fame ever has the actor feeling as though he’s living in a metaphorical lion’s den. Here was his response:

The Actor’s Message About Perfection Went Viral
In a world that encourages selfies and “all-about-me” attitudes, Pratt also reminded the MTV audience that no one is perfect—and that God designed each and every person. The actor also said that “grace is a gift.”
“Nobody is perfect. People will tell you that you are perfect just the way that you are, you’re not! You’re imperfect. You always will be, but there is a powerful force that designed you that way, and if you are willing to accept that, you will have grace. And grace is a gift. Like the freedom that we enjoy in this country, that grace was paid for with somebody else’s blood. Do not forget it. Don’t take it for granted.
