Chris Pratt warns that the fat could come back
Fit as he is, Chris Pratt warns that the fat could come back.
The actor, who had told Men's Health that with hard work for his roles in "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Jurassic World" he trimmed down from 300 pounds, also admitted that he could peak again on the weight-management roller coaster.
"I can tell that people are motivated by my transformations, and that feels really good," the 36-year-old actor said in the July/August issue of Men's Health. "But everyone should know when the movie star stuff is over I might go back to being the fat guy. My wife [Anna Faris] wants a pizza oven -- she's going to learn how to bake bread, and I'm going to eat it."
The fight to resist his wife's delicious cooking will be especially challenging since Pratt plans to drop another 20 pounds for his role in the remake of the famous western "The Magnificent Seven"opposite Denzel Washington, slated for 2017.
He says he will be keeping to a tight calorie count and continuing with the 10 weekly workouts he did ahead of the Half Ironman triathlon in April, which included a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike ride and a 13.1-mile run.
"I love the health benefits of exercising, and I have a kid now. By exercising, you really can add 20, 30 years to your life," he says. "But you gotta live too, so hopefully I'll find a nice balance."
