Anna Faris Details Conversations With ‘Religious’ Son Jack: ‘I Try to Challenge Him’

Faris said she talks with Jack about religion and politics, while reflecting on mom guilt and his early medical challenges.

  • On Thursday, actress Anna Faris appeared on Chelsea Handler's Dear Chelsea podcast to discuss parenting her religious 14-year-old son, Jack, revealing they hold differing views on faith.
  • Jack's faith emerged following his harrowing premature birth in 2012, an experience that prompted his father, Chris Pratt, to dedicate his life to sharing God's message in a December 2025 essay.
  • Faris detailed challenging Jack on topics like pro-life views and 'mega pastors,' describing these as "long conversations" in which she discusses right-wing politics associated with Christianity.
  • Despite their differences, Faris expressed appreciation that Jack is "examining religion the way he is in terms of recognizing hypocrisy," valuing their open dialogue.
  • Faris described Jack as "solid as a tugboat, emotionally," noting he "just doesn't get easily jarred" and handles situations well, underscoring their strong emotional foundation.
