Chris Pratt doesn’t mind the haters.
The “Jurassic World” star, who has been outspoken about his faith, agreed that he’s been criticized for it.
“I sure do but that’s nothing new, that’s nothing new, you know?” the actor, 43, told Pvnew exclusively Monday at a Cinema Society screening of his upcoming Marvel movie, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.”
Pratt reiterated his point by quoting biblical scripture.
“If I was of this world, they would love me just like that but as it is, I’ve chosen out of this world. That’s John 15:18 through 20,” he shared.
“That’s the way it is, nothing new, 2,000 years ago they hated him, too,” he added, referencing Jesus Christ.
Pratt met his current wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, in 2018 at church, although she recently clarified that he didn’t ask her out when they first crossed paths in the place of worship.
“We met each other at church. It was very sweet, but he didn’t try and pick me up in church,” the author, 33, said on “The Drew Barrymore Show” in February.
Faith is something they both share.
“Sweet Katherine, so happy you said yes! I’m thrilled to be marrying you. Proud to live boldly in faith with you. Here we go,” Pratt wrote in 2019, announcing their engagement.
They married in that same year and later welcomed two daughters together: Lyla, 2, and Eloise, 11 months. Pratt is also dad to son Jack, 10, with his former wife, Anna Faris.
The “Parks and Rec” star is currently promoting the third installment of the “Guardians of the Galaxy.” The first Marvel film of the franchise originally came out in 2014 and was predicted to be a flop.
However, Pratt explained to Pvnew how he deals with the naysayers.
“Oh, just how you deal with anything,” he shared. “Like a rhino, stick your head down, you keep driving forward, you have thick skin and if anyone gets in your way, you stick the horn right up their ass!”
When Pvnew cheekily inquired whether he enjoyed sticking it up someone’s ass, the “Tomorrow War” star laughed and credited his years toiling as a door-to-door salesman for his leathery ungulate-like skin.
“Hmm, well, when it comes to rejection, I was trained in the crucible of door-to-door sales some 25 years ago,” he revealed. “So, you can’t turn me away, there’s no stopping us.”
The “Super Mario Bros.” star added that going door to door “is a very hard job and it’s not dissimilar to acting or at least auditioning. You gotta collect nine ‘no’s’ to get one ‘yes.'”
Other celebs at the screening and bash at The Fulton by Jean-Georges included David Harbour, who had his hands full with his two adorable step-daughters and two of their pals, Morena Baccarin, Tituss Burgess, Steve Buscemi and Cynthia Nixon.
