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.

Every few months it’s time to announce a new actor to play the title role in the Broadway production of Hedwig And The Angry Inch, and now it’s happened again – and they haven’t disappointed. We’ve had Neil Patrick Harris, Andrew Rannells, Michael C. Hall, John Cameron Mitchell and currently Darren Criss, and next up it’s time for the former Mr. Idina Menzel, Taye Diggs.
I thought a miracle was going to occur and they were going to manage to make a trailer for a Zac Efron movie where he didn’t take his shirt off once, but then it gets towards the end and there he is in bed and then jumping into a pool with his nipples on show once more.
Before The Maze Runner was released, many thought it was just a Hunger Games rip-off that was destined to fail. However it proved the naysayers wrong by becoming a hit and by being a pretty good movie that more than deserves a sequel.
Pixels is a bit of a wildcard for this summer season, hoping that audiences will be hungry for some effects driven comedy, despite a rather mixed record for that type of movie. It is based on a neat concept though and has a good cast.
When the first Pan trailer arrived last November it was the start of a campaign that was supposed to see the movie arrive in cinemas this July. However Warner decided that as it had a pretty packed summer it would move it back to October, and so this new trailer is essentially trying to start up the hype all over again.
It’s nearly a year since Warcraft finished shooting and also just over a year until its released, but now the first official pic from the upcoming adaptation of the hit videogame has arrived, which suggests the filmmakers are already well on the way to creating a gigantic fantasy world.
There are quite a lot of LGBT-friendly web series out there, however relatively few of them have properly dealt with the issues around being HIV+.
