During a recent appearance on \u201cThe Drew Barrymore Show\u201d to promote his new film, \u201cThe Super Mario Bros,\u201d Pratt discussed his low point before meeting Katherine Schwarzenegger. The couple married in 2019 and have two daughters.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing that he used to steal glances at her at church before they met, Pratt said, \u201cYou kind of don\u2019t want to be like, \u2018Whoa, who is that?\u2019 at church, you know what I mean? But I was kind of sneaking some glances, and I was like, \u2018Who is that? Anyway, what am I doing? Come on; I\u2019m broken, help me,\u2019\u201d Pratt told actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore.<\/p>\n<p>Pratt, a proud Christian, also discussed how God saved him during a low point. He said, \u201cThere was a moment in my life that I was really struggling and felt really broken.\u201d He added, \u201cMy own journey, finding a higher power and leaning on that and being like, \u2018please save me,\u2019 and then feeling saved. And then shortly later finding the woman of my dreams and being like,\u2019 This is, wow, this feels great.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xq-5IlqoGKI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Pratt also said, \u201cIt\u2019s all about timing and, you know? It\u2019s all\u2026 there\u2019s a perfect plan out there for you. And I think you just gotta have faith. And if you have, the minute you have faith, it falls into place.\u201d Pratt has always been open about his Christian faith. One of his most memorable public declarations was at the 2018 MTV Movie &amp; TV Awards, where he told the audience that God loved them, referencing Christ\u2019s atoning death.<\/p>\n<p>Pratt told the audience, \u201cPeople are going to tell you that you\u2019re perfect just the way that you are. You\u2019re not. You\u2019re imperfect. You always will be, but there\u2019s a powerful force that designed you that way, and if you\u2019re willing to accept that, you will have grace. And grace is a gift. And like the freedom that we enjoy in this country, that grace was paid for with somebody else\u2019s blood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pratt reflected on his speech earlier this year on Instagram, saying that he \u201cwouldn\u2019t change a thing.\u201d Pratt has starred in numerous big-name films, like Marvel\u2019s Guardians of the Galaxy series and the Jurassic World trilogy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actor Chris Pratt recently opened up about meeting his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, and his journey to Jesus.
