Chris Pratt Loves To Get Naked, Doesn’t Understand How Taking Out His Junk Could Offend

Don’t try to put Chris Pratt in a box. Not because he’s a multi-talented performer and comedian (which he is), but because when you come back to let him out, he’ll probably be naked.

On second thought, put Chris Pratt in a box.

The actor recently shed some insight on his propensity to shed his pants. He told GQ:

“I was a jokester, I had a dirty mind, and a dirty sense of humor. I was naked all the time. It was just recently, in the last few years since I’ve become an adult, that I’ve learned to keep my clothes on.”

Unfortunately, his lesson in staying clothed seems to line up chronologically with attaining that crazy action-star body.

But please, go on:

“I got suspended from the track team in high school for getting naked on the track bus,” he recalled. “I was always getting naked. I thought it was hilarious. I didn’t understand how somebody could be so offended by me just taking my junk out.”

We’re with you there, Chris.

He goes on to recall a scene in Parks and Rec in which he stripped down unscripted. He was asked to shock Amy Poehler, and shock her he did.

“HR sent me a letter. Someone obviously must have complained about it or something. I guess now that I don’t work for them, I can make fun of it, but part of the letter was saying, like, ‘Also, don’t mock this. Just so we’re clear, you’re being reprimanded, and don’t go around talking about how this is funny,’” Pratt revealed. “[It was] the take they f**king used, by the way, that made the air, and was hilarious, so I was totally right, but apparently if you want to get naked there’s certain protocols you have to take to prevent people from being offended — you have to give them the opportunity to not see it.”

But that’s just not the way Chris operates:

“But that’s how I was in high school, too,” he continued. “I remember walking into the coach’s office with just a sock on. Not on my feet. And I was like, ‘Hey, Coach, can I talk to you?’ And they were like, ‘Jesus, God!’ I liked making people feel uncomfortable.”

Support For Same-Sex Marriage Reaches Record High
Support for same-sex marriage has reached an all-time high, according to recent polls. A new survey from Gallup shows a record 60 percent of Americans now say they approve of legalized same-sex marriage.

The trend measured by Gallup closely matches results from other polls that have been measuring public opinion on same-sex marriage. An ABC/Washington Post poll conducted in April found that 61 percent of Americans approve. Similarly, a Quinnipiac University poll from the same month measured approval at 58 percent.

Approval of same-sex marriage has grown at a rapid rate in the last two decades. When Gallup first surveyed Americans on the issue in 1996, only 27 percent approved. Nineteen years later, that number has more than doubled, growing 5 points in the last month alone.

In fact, the shift in approval is one of the “fastest changes ever measured” by the General Social Survey, which has measured trends in American public opinion for the last 40 years.

Gallup finds that a majority of Democrats and independents favor legalizing same-sex marriage. Republicans are less inclined, with only 37 percent expressing support. Still, support among Republicans has been climbing within the last two decades, jumping 11 percentage points in the last three years.

The latest results come just one month before the Supreme Court is scheduled to rule on the constitutionality of same-sex marriage.

Gallup surveyed 1,024 adults via live telephone interviews conducted May 6-10.

Sam Smith Celebrates His Birthday By Sharing Some Of The Wisdom He’s Acquired In His 23 Years On Earth

Sam Smith has turned 23, everyone. And he’s decided to mark the occasion by publicly sharing some of the wisdom he’s acquired over the past two decades with his 3.8 million Instagram followers.

“Prepare yourself for dramatic speech,” Smith, who was born in 1992, prefaced his post yesterday. “I’ve only lived on this earth for 23 years and I have so much more to learn and so many more mistakes to make. But there is one thing I’ve learnt in my not so many years.”

What is that one thing, you ask?

“That is love is the most important thing in life,” Smith wrote.

The singer continued: “Surround yourself with family and friends and people who genuinely love you. I am so lucky and these past few years have been so amazing but also so challenging and I would definitely be in a world full of troubles right now if it wasn’t for … my family and friends who can’t be with me today.”

“Dramatic as fuck I know, but I thought I’d share my emotional but I hope wise words with y’all.”

Wise words, indeed. Thanks, Sam. And Happy Birthday.
