Chris Pratt is one of the most popular actors in Hollywood right now. But, you probably did not know this – Chris Pratt won't take photos with fans.
During an interview for June 2017's issue of Cigar Aficionado with director James Gunn, the Guardians of the Galaxy star spoke about attempting to maintain a normal life despite being a celebrity. In the process, Pratt revealed some surprising truths about himself.
“I've always been a pretty deferential, go-with-the-flow guy. But now I have to be economical with my time. If I go out and want to do normal things, I have to be comfortable disappointing people. So I just don't take pictures with people. Because that's not about enjoying the moment; it's about stealing the moment to brag about later. So I say, ‘Would you settle for a handshake?' And then they take the picture anyway.”
Pratt explains that over the years after becoming a celebrity he misses certain things about being an unknown aspiring actor.
“It's tough sometimes, the amount of management you need to do on things you used to do spontaneously. What I really miss is sitting down and talking to strangers who don't know me, so we can discover each other. I'd say the majority of people I meet have an idea about me before they meet me. There's something nice to being able to surprise somebody.”
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. hits theaters on May 5th.
