'Worst Hollywood' Poll Axes Actor Chris Pratt And Wife Katherine Schwarzenegger Has Best Reply
October 22, 2020

When a 'Worst Hollywood Chris' poll voted to ax actor Chris Pratt, Katherine Schwarzenegger quickly asked the question we should all be asking. Is this really what we need right now? And her powerful response inspired many others to come to Chris' defense, too.
TV writer Amy Berg started the 'Worst Hollywood Chris' poll on Twitter.

When the Tweet started trending, E! News asked its fans a similar question on Instagram (though with a slightly more positive spin). And while the challenge was likely issued for some lighthearted fun, it quickly took a cruel turn.
'Worst Hollywood Chris' Invites Bullying
Sometimes people forget celebrities are people, too. Just because they are in the public eye doesn't make hurling insults or criticism at them ok. Nor does it mean cruel words don't hurt.
Asking folks to pick the 'Worst Hollywood Chris' encourages people to see these four men as objects. Not as God's children, designed by the Creator Himself and individually gifted with unique talents and purpose.
This kind of objectification plagues our society today. And in no time, folks were using the 'Worst Hollywood Chris' poll to bash Christian celebrity Chris Pratt, primarily for his conservative views and love of Jesus.
And that's when Chris Pratt's wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, chimed in as the voice of reason.
"Is this really what we need?" she asked in response to the E! News post. "There’s so much going on in the world and people are struggling in so many ways. Being mean is so yesterday. There’s enough room to love all these guys. Love is what we all need not meanness and bullying. Let’s try that."

And Katherine is so right! We read in Proverbs 18:21 of how the tongue holds the power of life and death. And in the midst of so much suffering, we choose what we are going to put out into the world. More hate? Or more love?
More People Step Up To Defend Actor Chris Pratt
Katherine Schwarzenegger wasn't the only one coming to husband Chris Pratt's defense. Other stars began chiming in about the ridiculousness of the 'Worst Hollywood Chris' poll.
Actor Robert Downey Jr. vouched for the Christian integrity displayed by Chris Pratt.
"What a world," he wrote. "The 'sinless' are casting stones at my brother, Chris Pratt... A real Christian who lives by principle -- has never demonstrated anything but positivity and gratitude."

Another actor who played alongside Chris Pratt in the Avengers franchise, Mark Ruffalo, also commended Chris for the type of man he is.
You all, @prattprattpratt is as solid a man there is. I know him personally, and instead of casting aspersions, look at how he lives his life. He is just not overtly political as a rule. This is a distraction. Let’s keep our eyes on the prize, friends. We are so close now.

Sorry. Just finding out about this nonsense. @prattprattpratt is the best dude in the world. I’ve spent hours & hours sharing my deepest truths with this man, as he has with me. Please stop assuming what he believes, politically or in any other way, because he’s a Christian. https://t.co/XSIgU9WemX
