Chris Pratt says Marvel’s nutritionist had him drinking ~220 glasses of water a day while training to play Star-Lord.
One glass for every pound he weighed
“I was peeing all day long, every day. That part was a nightmare”
Chris Pratt, the Hollywood megastar from Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World, has famously not always been in the shape he’s in now. He played sports and stayed fit as a teenager, but then he went through years of fluctuating weight and questionable health in his 20s.
When his roles called for him to be goofy (see: Andy from Parks and Recreation), his weight wasn’t an issue. But when he wanted to land some more serious roles in films like Moneyball and Zero Dark Thirty, he realized he had to make some big changes.
It took a few years with a lot of ups and downs, but today the actor is a trim and muscular 230 pounds. He’s also a kickboxing fanatic.
We got a chance to talk to Pratt — soon to be heard in the new Disney/Pixar flick Onward — about his fitness routine and his must-have workout gear. If you really want to be like Pratt, you can buy some of that gear at the actor’s new Amazon storefront, where a portion of the proceeds will go to various charities.
