Jurassic World star Chris Pratt thinks both men and women should enjoy being treated like pieces of meat. Asked by Radio 4’s Front Row whether his freshly acquired abs and biceps have opened up new doors for him, the actor responded: “A huge part of how my career has shifted is based on the way that I look, on the way that I’ve shaped my body to look.”

But doesn’t he feel objectified? “Totally. I think it’s OK, I don’t feel appalled by it. I think it’s appalling that for a long time only women were objectified, but I think if we really want to advocate for equality, it’s important to even things out…. At the end of the day, our bodies are objects. For years people have been putting on masks, putting on costumes, and this is essentially a costume that I took a great deal of effort to put on.”
Fortunately, it doesn’t take quite as much effort for him to take his shirt off.
How about we take this to the next level?

Who cares what this conservative nut job has to say about anything?

@Don Brown: If he’s not vocal about his christianity or the the extent of his conservative views then what harm is he doing? He knows he’s making part of his bread and butter off gay enthusiasm for a handsome funnyman. A lot of people loved him fat, now even more love him fit and he’s cashing in, which is not a crime. He also is well aware that if he were to make anti-gay remarks he would likely alienate not only fans , but friends and coworkers, so I doubt that he will or even that he would want to. He certainly hasn’t given any hints that he’s anti-gay.
tl;dr: keep us laughing and keep us drooling and you can believe whatever you want in your personal life, Pratt.

@Don Brown: Chris Pratt is the least unlikable person in the world.
How exactly did you come to the conclusion that he’s a conservative nutjob?
I have literally never seen him do anything that was mean or angry or derisive seen him make any divisive comments.
This guy is like the male Jennifer Lawrence. And we love him for that.

@Don Brown: @Raphael:
OK Hold the phones. “Conservative nutjob”? “Asshole”? What has he done to be labeled like that? Because he once said that he relied on his “faith in the Lord” during a tough time? So what? So he’s a Christian. A lot of decent people are. I have never seen or heard him do ANYTHING homophobic or “nutjob” like. In fact I have heard him tell the same story twice about how a gay man helped him start his career. He always seems very grateful to that gay man who took his head shots for him when he was young, and did it for free.

Why do so many queens automatically assume ALL Christians are right wing Conservatives out to destroy homosexuals? So many Christian churches have come to accept gays and have opened dialogue to understand our point of view. Don’t condemn all Christians; it sets us back further.

It’s the evil Christians that make the kind Christians look bad. The kind Christians tend to be quiet and let everyone alone. The evil Christians are loud and drown out the kind ones. Same goes for any other religion. Personally, I don’t believe in the scary sky monster but,hey, we got to live with them don’t we.
