Chris Pratt Reveals What a Mag Photo Shoot Is Really Like (and It Doesn’t Sound Very Glamorous)

Chris Pratt looks equal parts sexy and cool in this photo, but the truth is he was sweaty. Very, very sweaty.

The Magnificent Seven star, 37, was featured as InStyle’s Man of Style in the mag’s September issue. Pratt, who doesn’t know why he’s receiving style accolades when he prefers to wear “T-shirts with American flags on them,” participated in a photo shoot for the publication, during which he wore a Canadian tuxedo, posed with a hat-wearing horse, and went home with a shirt that “cost like $500 or something ridiculous.”

While photo shoots with horses and $500 shirts — although, not so much the double-denim — sound pretty fancy to us, the Parks and Recreation alum, who is married to Anna Faris, took all the mystery out of it. In a few detailed posts on Instagram, he talked about excessive sweat and really tight jeans, yet still came off as charming.

He started by posting this funny spiel about the “nice food spread,” “good country music,” the horse’s agent throwing a “Hollywood bitch fit,” and that “sweet ass” $500 shirt.

He went on to say that the reason for the hat in this pic wasn’t because it was stylish, folks. Also, those jeans could have been a relaxed fit:

Here, we were just excited to see him use the term “Canadian tuxedo.” It’s a fave:

This was the added bonus. He said he was the creative genius behind the horse wearing a hat. (“Boom. My idea!”) Unfortunately, that photo didn’t make it into the mag:

Yes, Chris, people read this s***. We read this s***. And we’re glad we did. Not only are we now less impressed by fancy photo shoots, we are more impressed by Pratt’s comedic storytelling.
