<p>Actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/you-probably-need-to-watch-it-twice-chris-pratt-reacts-to-criticism-over-mario-bros-accent" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Pratt</a> has seen significant backlash over the years for being upfront and transparent about his Christian faith — and when asked how he handles being the target of hateful comments, he doubled down.</p>
<p>Pratt, 43, told entertainment outlet <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/05/07/chris-pratt-says-jesus-struggle-helps-him-deal-with-haters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a> last week that he always thinks back to the story of Jesus and the suffering he endured, which reminds him that for Christians, hatred often comes with the territory.</p>
<p>&#8220;I sure do,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-few-good-men-these-5-hollywood-actors-put-faith-and-family-first" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pratt</a> acknowledged that he got plenty of criticism for being open about his personal faith. &#8220;But that’s nothing new, that’s nothing new, you know?&#8221;</p>
<p>He went on to quote a scripture that reiterated his point, saying, &#8220;If I was of this world, they would love me just like that but as it is, I’ve chosen out of this world. That’s John 15:18 through 20.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That’s the way it is, nothing new, 2,000 years ago they hated him, too,&#8221; he said of Jesus.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/director-james-gunn-responds-to-calls-to-recast-chris-pratt-over-actors-public-christianity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pratt</a> was rounding out a press tour for his latest Marvel film —&#8221;Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3&#8243; — at the time, and he also told Page Six that thinking of Jesus&#8217; struggles was only part of his process when it came to dealing with hateful comments.</p>
<p>Saying that the trick was to deal with hate &#8220;just how you deal with anything,&#8221; he added, &#8220;Like a rhino, stick your head down, you keep driving forward, you have thick skin and if anyone gets in your way, you stick the horn right up their ass!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When it comes to rejection, I was trained in the crucible of door-to-door sales some 25 years ago. So, you can’t turn me away,&#8221; the &#8220;Super Mario Bros.&#8221; actor joked, explaining that his experience as a salesman had actually helped him in his film career. &#8220;[Sales] is a very hard job and it’s not dissimilar to acting or at least auditioning. You gotta collect nine ‘no’s’ to get one ‘yes.'&#8221;</p>
<p>The Pratt-led &#8220;Super Mario Bros,&#8221; released the first week in April, was the first 2023 film to gross over $1 billion — and after <a href="https://variety.com/2023/film/news/box-office-guardians-of-the-galaxy-3-opening-weekend-1235605486/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">just one weekend</a>, &#8220;Guardians&#8221; has raked in more than $280 million worldwide.</p>
