'Actors come up and just blatantly hit on my wife in front of me and don't even look at me,' Chris recalled memories before he became a celebrated actor.

AceShowbiz - Chris Pratt opens up to GQ magazine about his old memory when he was not famous yet. During a recent interview for the magazine's June issue, the "Guardians of the Galaxy" star recounts how actors used to hit on his wife Anna Faris in front of him.
"I've had those moments where I was like the guy holding the purse at events and people just looked right through me," Chris tells the magazine. "And, you know, actors come up and just blatantly hit on my wife in front of me and don't even look at me."
He adds, "I'm like 'What the f**k, dude?' I can think of exactly who they are, too, and I hope they f***king audition for 'Guardians of the Galaxy'."
Chris, who is now slimmed down and bulked up, later addresses how his former stout figure helped him start his television career through comedy series "Parks and Recreation". "I think outwardly I was having more fun," the actor says of his days when body weight was not a big problem for him. "I was more fun to be around, probably. That image that I was casting, to convince people that I was OK, was a really fun person to hang around."
Chris admits that becoming an actor who has to stay fit and always be ready for on-screen action makes him "less fun" because he has to "focus more." To maintain his bulky body, Chris says now he eats smaller portion of food than he used to, which means his wife "doesn't get to cook for me the way she used to. I was like a great pet, fat guy."
However, he adds, "I think Anna is hedging her bets that one day I'll be fat again, and she'll say, 'Remember, honey, I always told you I preferred you this way.' "
