What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and in what might be the
most comical Internet competition yet, Twitter held a Chris-off to see which of the famous
Chris’s was most and least favorable and we’ve got some bad news for Chris Pratt fans…
As we all know, Hollywood is swarming with famous ‘Chris’s’...
we’ve got Chris Evans, Hemsworth, Rock, Pine, Pratt, the list truly goes on.
But when given what seemed to be a difficult task of choosing a favorite and least favorite Chris,
Twitter seemed to be in full agreement that one Chris, in particular, was the weakest link.
This debate all started on Saturday when screenwriter and TV producer Amy Berg
shared a tweet consisting of four headshots of the famous Chris’s with the caption, “One has to go.”
The post has since gone viral, racking up over 9,000 likes and 13,000 retweets
as some people argued many different reasons why said Chris’s should be booted from Chris Island.
One user wrote, “Pine. He is not a Marvel. Nuff said,” while another person tweeted,
“It’s a trick… ain’t they all the same person?”
Although many agreed that Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth were
not to be harmed or spoken an ill word about, an overwhelming number of fans…
I can’t believe I’m uttering these words...I’m so sorry Chris, its the internet not me...an
overwhelming number of fans also agreed that Chris Pratt has gotta go.
One user tweeted, “Pratt was banished from Chris Island years ago,” while another person
shared their opinion, saying, “Chris Pratt is not movie star material and never will be,
he will always be the forgettable co-star.”
Ouch… Chris’ character “Starlord” from Guardians
Of The Galaxy has got to be up there as one of my favorites!
This came as news to many who were genuinely confused - clearly
me included - as to why Chris Pratt was getting so much hate.
This user asked, “Wait am I missing something? What did Chris Pratt do?”
Well it appears the main reason for all the negativity is that Chris is being accused
of allegedly being a Trump supporter, as well as supporting an anti-LGBTQ+ church.
One person tweeted, “Just found out that Chris Pratt is a Trump supporter.
He has to go, I'm afraid” and another user said,
“Chris Pratt is a trump supporter and I will never watch anything that he is in again, NEVER!”
Another user said QUOTE,
“Pratt. His views are terrible and he supports anti-lgbtq activist churches. Easy.”
Last year, actress Ellen Page accused Chris of supporting a
anti-LGBTQ church after responding to an article referencing his spirituality, tweeting,
“Oh. K. Um. But his church is infamously anti lgbtq so maybe address that too?”
Chris was quick to respond to the accusations as he took to his Instagram stories
to tell fans QUOTE, “It has recently been suggested that I belong to a church which
‘hates a certain group of people’ and is ‘infamously anti --LGBTQ.’ Nothing could
be further from the truth. I go to a church that opens their doors to absolutely everyone.”
He went on to say, “Despite what the Bible says about divorce, my church community was there
for me every stop of the way, never judging, just gracefully accompanying me on my walk.
They helped me tremendously offering love and support. It is what I have seen them do for
others on countless occasions regardless of sexual orientation, race or gender.”
More recently, fans were outraged by Chis’ recent Instagram post that encouraged fans to vote,
buuuut not in the way that many other celebrities are urging fans to vote.
Earlier this month, Chris shared this Instagram post that read, “With all that’s going on in
the world it is more important than ever that you vote. Just ask any celebrity. They will tell you.
Every day. Several times a day. To vote. But me? I will tell you EXACTLY who to vote for. #Onward.”
He continued an attempt to make a joke out of his entire post, adding, “The heroes before us did not
spill their blood only to have their sacrifices wasted by your apathy. The upcoming 2020 People’s
Choice Awards is the most consequential vote in the history of mankind times a million infinity.”
Chris concluded his PSA by saying, “Vote for #Onward for family movie of the year. Or else.
You WILL die. No hyperbole. Click the link in my bio. Let your voice be heard.”
Clearly considering the upcoming election, which is MUCH more important, his joke appeared to not
have landed as he might have hoped, with fans who were infuriated by the insensitive announcement.
One user wrote, “YIKES. Imagine the amount of
privilege one person can have to write this tone deaf post.”
Another person said, “Haha what the f*ck. This is super insensitive. Read
the room. Oh wait you did and decided to mock people. Coooooooollllllll.”
Needless to say, the poster of the original competition
actually DID read the room and quickly replaced Chris Pratt with Irish comedian Chris O’Dowd,
in a new competition for fans, writing, “I feel like this one is harder.”
