Do You Miss the Old Chris Pratt?

Chris Pratt is a legit movie star, who you're going to be seeing a lot of from now on. But do you kind of wish he was still that guy from "Parks and Rec?"

Do you miss the old Chris Pratt, before Guardians of the Galaxy changed his whole game. 

The Pratt you knew deserved to be a huge megastar, but nobody else noticed? The terrible boyfriend character you knew you weren't supposed to side with on those early episodes of Parks and Rec, but was so likeable you couldn't help it? 

The guy who made you say "Hey, it's Chris Pratt!" or, more possibly, "Hey, it's that guy! I love that guy!" when he popped up in Moneyball or Zero Dark Thirty?

Mike Sheppard at AskMen.com knows your pain. In his essay on the site today, Sheppard, a explains he's "Prattxausted" from the "full-scale assault by a very calculating team of agencies and publicists." 


"When Guardians opened, I was all about Pratt. Two weeks later and I can say this: If I see another goofy story about him rapping the Jurassic Park theme song or French-braiding Eminem in my newsfeed I am going to boycott him," Sheppard writes of Pratt's nearly incessant headline presence since Guardians opened, adding, "He deserves it. I was happy for him when he started to pop. But now I have that feeling you get after you finish the whole bag of Oreos and vow to never even look at one again."

What do you think? Have you OD'd on Pratt? Or are you excited to see more of him in next summer's Jurassic Park Worldthe Guardians sequel already announced for 2017, and the likely decades worth of sequels that will follow that one?
