'If I go out and want to do normal things, I have to be comfortable disappointing people. So I just don't take pictures with people,' says the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star.

AceShowbiz - Chris Pratt suits up for a dapper look while gracing the cover of Cigar Aficionado with "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" director James Gunn. In an interview with the magazine for its May/June 2017 issue, the Star-Lord depicter dishes on why he says no to taking photos with his fans.
"I've always been a pretty deferential, go-with-the-flow guy," Pratt begins. "But now I have to be economical with my time." He continues, "If I go out and want to do normal things, I have to be comfortable disappointing people. So I just don't take pictures with people."
He further explains, "Because that's not about enjoying the moment; it's about stealing the moment to brag about later." He adds, "So I say, 'Would you settle for a handshake?' And then they take the picture anyway."
During the interview, the 37-year-old actor also talks about what he misses the most about his life before fame. The hunky actor admits, "It's tough sometimes, the amount of management you need to do on things you used to do spontaneously."
"What I really miss is sitting down and talking to strangers who don't know me, so we can discover each other," he shares. "I'd say the majority of people I meet have an idea about me before they meet me. There's something nice to being able to surprise somebody."
On "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2", Pratt tells the magazine, "It's that sweet spot where you give people what they want but not what they're expecting. Comedy, emotion and action form this triangle. And it's about bringing it to an even better level."
