Chris Pratt Says He Won't Go Back To Chubby, Cuddly Size: "I'm Done With That"

Remember how there was more Chris Pratt to love when he played Andy Dwyer on Parks and Recreation?

Well, after getting ripped for Guardians of the Galaxy, the 35-year-old star insists he'll never go back to Fat Pratt.

He told GQ:

"I'm done with that," he says.

The week after we meet, he'll be hosting the season premiere of SNL, so he's on a no-starch (BOO) and no-booze (BOOOOO) diet. "I just feel like, if I drink, I want to drink a case of beer and not two beers. Two beers doesn't do anything for me." Attaboy.

When I tell him I had pancakes for breakfast this morning, I see the ghost of Fat Pratt. "That sounds so goddamn good."

Apparently Guardians director James Gunn thought it was "an insane idea to cast the fat guy from Parks and Rec as the lead of our superhero movie"—so much so that he wouldn't let Pratt audition at first. But after he did, Gunn was blown away. "I thought, 'Well, hell, he's overweight," Gunn told GQ. "But if that means we have the world's first overweight superhero, I'm okay with it." 

Pratt didn't see the problem, either. "You can make a talking raccoon that looks real," he told the magazine. "Why can't I just be fat?"

Of course he went ahead and got shredded, anyway. "I like the challenge of it," he declared.

Honestly we'd take Chris either way.
