Chris Pratt Reveals That He's A Recreational Hunter; Feels A Closeness To God
Jurassic World has a theme that emphasises respect for nature, and the perils that befall those who don’t, and Pratt relates. He says this respect comes from his experience as a recreational hunter. “I have a great deal of respect for the animals that I kill,” he says, “and I feel remorse and all of the emotions that come with it.”
As a non-hunter, I ask him to explain how choosing to kill something and then feeling remorse about it fits together. He leans in, happy to explain. “The thing inside me that drives me to go out and hunt is very animal. But the remorse, emotion and respect I feel, and the closeness to God that I feel when I’m out there, is my humanity. It’s an opportunity for me to explore what parts of me are animal and what parts of me are human.”
