It seems Chris Pratt likes being naked, and for that we can only say, ‘hooray’. The only upsetting thing about this fact is that while he’s keen to let the world know that he’s not very good at wearing clothes, we’ve yet to see evidence of this on-screen (unpixelated, at least).
While talking to GQ about the upcoming Jurassic World, he says of his youth, “I was a jokester, I had a dirty mind, and a dirty sense of humor. And I was naked a lot. 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. And even then, I really haven’t. I got yelled at by NBC for getting naked.”
The yelling happened during a scene in Parks and Recreation where Pratt was supposed to appear naked in a doorway, but for filming was meant to wear something to cover his modesty. However for one take he didn’t bother.
It turns out NBC weren’t impressed though, “They sent me a letter,” Pratt says, “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.’ [It was] the take they fucking 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”
However that wasn’t the only trouble he’s gotten into due to for his penchant for nudity, saying “I got suspended from the track team in high school for getting naked on the track bus. 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.”
Neither can we Chris, neither can we.
