He defies stereotypes: Chris didn't win over his Parks and Recreation costar Nick Offerman right away, but that quickly changed. Nick said, "I thought, Oh great, who's this meathead? Obviously he's very beautiful, but he must be dumb as a post. And then he proceeded to be perfectly sweet and absolutely sharp as a tack, and I thought, Oh, I see. You're a superhero."
He's also "brilliant" according to his TV wife Aubrey Plaza: "I just want him all to myself, and now I feel like the whole world is let in on the secret brilliance of Chris Pratt . . . He's a talented rap artist, like to a scale that people don’t know about. He can do anything and everything. He's like a real live superhero."
Oh, he's also not afraid to chow down, says Aziz Ansari: "Chris is the sweetest, funniest guy. He always also never uses a spit bucket. When you do scenes where a character is eating, you eat and then spit it out into a "spit bucket." Chris just keeps eating. If you see Andy eating a cheeseburger in a scene, you should know Chris Pratt ate like eight cheeseburgers."
And last but not least, as his wife Anna sweetly said, there's a lot to know about him: "His intelligence hits you by surprise. It's easy to lump him into 'Big dude who likes trucks.' As you get to know him, he's a really complicated, interesting person."
