Chris Pratt’s rise to fame is a story of grit and humor born from hardship. Raised in a working-class home, he faced poverty and watched his father battle multiple sclerosis. He once wore shoes too small and used bingo winnings to buy Reebok Pumps—small wins in tough times.
Humor became his coping tool, later shaping his signature charm. After high school, he drifted, living in a van in Maui before stumbling into acting.
From early roles in Everwood to breakout success in Parks and Recreation, and blockbuster leads in Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World, Pratt’s journey is a reminder: resilience and heart can take you far.
