AceShowbiz - Chris Pratt apparently wanted to let people know that he has voted. The "Guardians of the Galaxy" actor treated social media users to a new selfie on election day after facing backlash over his neutral stance.
On Tuesday, November 5, the 45-year-old Marvel star revealed that he has voted. He made use of his Instagram page to upload the never-before-seen selfie while not disclosing the name of the candidate that he voted for.
In the photo, it could be seen that Chris was striking a pose in what appeared to be his house. The actor, whose eyes appeared to be red, was looking straight at the camera and showing a stoic facial expression.
Chris was sporting a casual outfit, including a long-sleeved black tee that came with a high neck design. Over the top, he put on a colorful "I VOTED" sticker. In addition, he flaunted a full beard and thin mustache.
Along with the picture, the leading man in the "Jurassic World Dominion" movie wrote a short caption, "I got a sticker." He went on to say, "Scratch and sniff," before concluding his message, "Smells like freedom."
After sharing the photo, Chris received positive online responses from Instagram users. In the comments section, one in particular praised, "Only Hollywood celebrity with common sense." It did not take long for the comment to receive more than 15 thousand likes.
Similarly, another chimed in, "The only true Avenger." A third speculated, "No diddy party for this guy," referring to Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. A fourth, meanwhile, penned, "We may not have voted for the same people, but we still both voted. You know what? That does smell like freedom."
Previously, Chris shared his opinion on the presidential election in an essay published on his mother-in-law Maria Shriver's website. He urged fellow Americans to be gracious winners and losers, regardless of the outcome. However, his neutrality drew ire from opponents who argued that the stakes of the election are too high to remain indifferent.
