Chris Pratt also experienced a health scare. Unlike Mr. T, it was Pratt's son who faced health-related hardship when he was born prematurely. During this time, he prayed intensely. Today, he credits God for saving his son's life. These events convinced him to use his fame and reach to openly express his beliefs. He says he made a deal with God. He promised his life and platform to God in exchange for his son's survival.
As he shared, "He really saved my son, and that was the moment [my faith] was cemented. My heart softened, and my faith hardened. That was the moment that I was like, 'Moving forward, I'm going to give my platform to God.'"
