Chris Pratt is a Hollywood actor who for a long time had small roles until he got his big break in the Marvel universe, causing his life to change considerably so he could adapt to the demands of the role.

Marvel is one of the most important film production companies, as they are generators of entertainment that must perform important casting processes so that the actors are the best possible for the role and Chris Pratt had to undergo major changes in order to enter the universe. The tough diet Chris Pratt underwent for his iconic Marvel role

According to Vanity Fair magazine, the American actor was cast to play Star Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies thanks to Marvel Studios casting director Halley Finn, who knew Chris’ potential. I went to see James Gunn to tell him that I had the perfect performer for the role of captain,” said the director.

Similarly, it was thanks to her that Chris Pratt went through with the casting for Star Lord, despite the actor’s dissatisfaction. “Chris came into the room and did the casting, and in about 10 seconds James came out, looked at me and said ‘this is the guy I was looking for.’ However, after that, the real struggle began for the American actor, as he was overweight at the time and had to be in shape to play his role and gain the trust of Marvel Studios.

Duffy Gaver, a well-known personal trainer of Chris Hemsworth, was contacted by Marvel and the team at the time. Gaver accepted the opportunity to train Chris Pratt immediately.

At the same time, they called in nutritionist Philip Goglia, who oversaw the actor’s diet, forcing him to consume one ounce of water for every pound of the actor’s weight and 4,000 calories a day.

What do you think about it? Do you think the sacrifice Chris Pratt made was worth it to enter the world of Marvel?
