Anna Faris Shares How She Challenges Her, Chris Pratt's Son Jack on Religious Beliefs
Faris said Jack has asked her to accept Jesus Christ, and she expects long conversations because the 14-year-old is more devout.
Anna Faris opened up about having complex discussions regarding religion with her 14-year-old son, Jack, whom she shares with ex-husband Chris Pratt. Faris revealed that Jack is far more religious than she is.
Pratt's faith was significantly influenced by Jack's premature birth nine weeks early and severe cerebral hemorrhage. The Guardians of the Galaxy actor stated he "made a deal with God" to protect his son, cementing his religious convictions.
Faris, who did not grow up with religion, finds Jack's critical engagement with faith impressive. She challenges him about "megapastors," to which Jack replied, "Oh, mega pastors are the worst."
Describing their dynamic on the Dear Chelsea podcast, Faris said Jack is "solid as a tugboat emotionally." He "doesn't get easily jarred" and "handles situations really well," enabling them to navigate difficult conversations.
Since their 2017 divorce, Faris and Pratt have continued co-parenting Jack together. Both have since remarried and established new lives, yet they maintain a collaborative approach to raising their son.
