10 Times Male Celebrities Got Real About Body Image

Pratt opened up about an incident that inspired his dramatic weight loss. During an audition for the 2011 film Moneyball, he was rejected for his body type. "That was the first time I heard someone say, 'We're not gonna cast you — you're too fat," he told Vanity Fair. "So I decided to drop the weight, like in wrestling. I couldn't afford a trainer, so it was all running and crash-dieting and cutting alcohol." Through the process, he struggled with body image. "I'm sure I can't relate to what females go through in Hollywood. I'm sure I can't. But I do know what it feels like to eat emotionally, and … to be sad and make yourself happy with food. And then to be almost immediately sad again and now ashamed and then to try to hide those feelings with more food. I know what that's like," he said at a press conference for Guardians of the Galaxy after his weight loss. "It's a vicious cycle, and it's a very real thing. I know what it's like to have body image issues, but I also know that if you just work hard and enlist the help of good coaches and be coachable, that you can actually change that." Still, Pratt isn't planning to keep up his action hero physique forever, and his wife, Anna Farris, prefers "Fat Pratt." "She likes to cook, and I don't get to eat as much of her cooking as I used to," he said on The Late Show. "He's not gone forever. He's just on vacation for a couple years. But he's coming back."
