Chris Pratt News 2015: Actor Scared Weight Gain Will Kill His Career? [VIDEO]
It looks like Chris Pratt doesn't want to be known as the "fat guy" anymore. In fact, the Hollywood actor says that he has no intention of ever tipping the scales again as he prefers to stay in shape for not only his health, but his career as well. Pratt's Hollywood status has soared ever since he shed his excess weight for his leading role in Guardians of the Galaxy back in 2014.
According to Xpose on Sunday, Pratt revealed that he won't be relaxing his diet anytime soon and plans on hitting the gym during the holidays as well. In fact, many fans think if Pratt were to gain weight again, it might kill his career as it has skyrocketed in the last two years.
He said, "I've had to work very hard for the last year and a half. And I have no intention of ever letting myself slide again. I never want to go back to being the fat guy."

And while Pratt says he loved playing likable yet slightly chubby Andy Dwyer on the hit NBC comedy Parks and Recreation, he says that the role did nothing for his waistline.
The Hollywood star added, "I had to change my whole way of thinking. I had gotten into a frame of mind on Parks and Recreation, where I saw my character as someone who would just let himself go and party. I had become used to the idea of making a living as an actor by playing the fat friend who just makes you laugh."
Pratt wowed fans back in 2013 after he shared a shirtless yet buff photo on his Instagram account. He said that cutting beer out of his diet at the time helped kick start his new healthy lifestyle.
