(PCM) “Parks and Recreation” actor Chris Pratt is showing some noticeable weight gain, but it’s not just because his wife, Anna Faris, was recently pregnant (yes, men definitely pack on a few pregnancy pounds, too!). He recently revealed that he’s purposely gaining weight for a new movie role, but he has more than just a few pounds to go…. he’s on his way to hitting 300 pounds.
“This is what 275 looks like,” he tells Venture. “All man, right here. If I just keep eating, I can maintain a buzz — like a sugar food buzz. But if I’m in the background of a scene, I’m definitely sitting. I will hit a couple of burgers like it’s laced with crack cocaine.”
Anna Faris doesn’t mind her husband’s new round frame because she says he’s been doing it in a healthy way with “super gross but pretty tasty” weight gain shakes. Perhaps she doesn’t know about the crack-laced burgers.
Pratt plays a lawyer in the upcoming film “Starbuck”, starring alongside Vince Vaughn who portrays a man who learns he’s sired 533 children after repeated sperm donations, according to sources.
He admits that he likes the challenge of gaining and losing weight for a role, but doesn’t deny that the rollercoaster ride can take a toll on his energy.
“I just like to gain weight and lose weight. It’s a rollercoaster. I just want to do this. I want to touch God.” He then adds, “Sorry, I almost have to take a nap now just from that talk.”
