<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the directors of “</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Super Mario Bros. Movie</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” defended the decision to cast </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-pratt"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chris Pratt</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in the lead role during an interview published Wednesday as fans continue to argue over it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The debate has been going strong since the </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment"><span style="font-weight: 400;">teaser trailer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> debuted in October, with viewers wondering why Pratt, who is not Italian and appears to make no effort to sound that way, would be picked to voice one of the most iconic </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/video-games"><span style="font-weight: 400;">video game</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> characters in existence.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s a bit of an origin tale. It’s the story of Mario becoming Super Mario,” director Aaron Horvath </span><a href="https://www.gamesradar.com/super-mario-bros-movie-chris-pratt-casting"><span style="font-weight: 400;">told</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> TotalFilm of the project during an interview. He noted how the casting agents were looking for someone to realistically portray “a blue-collar guy from a family of Italian immigrants” in Brooklyn.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“For us, it made total sense,” Horvath said of them landing on Pratt as the ideal choice. “He’s really good at playing a blue-collar hero with a ton of heart. For the way that Mario is characterized in our film, he’s perfect for it.”</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="The Super Mario Bros. Movie | Official Trailer" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TnGl01FkMMo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pratt also discussed how focused he was on getting the voice right during an </span><a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/columns/chris-pratt-super-mario-bros-voice-jurassic-world-dominion-1235301622/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">interview</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with Variety last year, explaining how he “worked really closely” with directors to find the best way to portray Mario.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I tried out a few things and landed on something that I’m really proud of and can’t wait for people to see and hear,” Pratt said. “It’s an animated voiceover narrative. It’s not a live-action movie. I’m not gonna be wearing a plumber suit running all over. I’m providing a voice for an animated character, and it is updated and unlike anything you’ve heard in the Mario world before.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fans don’t have much to evaluate as Pratt only spoke two lines in the original </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-funniest-thing-fans-mock-chris-pratts-voice-as-super-mario-bros-trailer-drops"><span style="font-weight: 400;">teaser trailer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, saying, “What is this place?” and “Mushroom Kingdom, here we come!” But that was enough to send Twitter into a frenzy when the trailer dropped in October. Viewers said it sounded like the actor didn’t do anything to alter his normal voice.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Chris Pratt saying he worked so hard on the Mario voice only for it to sound like Chris Pratt is the funniest thing,” one person responded.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When a longer version of the trailer was released shortly after with more dialogue, Illumination Studios turned off commenting on YouTube. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” lands in theaters on April 5, 2023.</span></p>

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-pratt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Pratt&#8217;s</a> wife Katherine Schwarzenegger said she and the &#8220;Guardians of the Galaxy&#8221; star met in church, but it&#8217;s not like people might think — she says he didn&#8217;t pick her up there.</p>
<p>During the 33-year-old author&#8217;s recent appearance on &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCOXZu3jEf4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Drew Barrymore Show</a>,&#8221; the host said that, as a single woman herself, she wanted to know the story about how Schwarzenegger met her husband.</p>
<p>&#8220;We met each other at church,&#8221; Schwarzenegger, daughter of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, explained, as Barrymore shared how much she &#8220;loved that&#8221; idea.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was very sweet,&#8221; Pratt&#8217;s wife added. &#8220;But he didn&#8217;t like try and pick me up in church.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Everybody&#8217;s always like, &#8216;How did that happen that you were in church? How&#8217;d that work?'&#8221; Schwarzenegger continued, noting that the star previously shared she knew when she met Pratt they &#8220;would fall in love.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Charlies Angels&#8221; star then pressed her guest on exactly how did she know and then asked for tips about what she should &#8220;be looking for.&#8221;</p>
<p>Her guest seemed to dodge the question and just laughed saying her mother, TV anchor Maria Shriver, would &#8220;love to&#8221; help Barrymore find someone — and the host seemed more than up for that.</p>
<p>&#8220;You know who would love to find you somebody? My mother,&#8221; Schwarzenegger shared. &#8220;It’s like her pride in life. Loves, loves to be matchmaker, she will do it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Shriver reportedly had been the one to introduce the couple. In 2019, the Marvel star and Katherine got engaged, and she shared at the time with <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/katherine-schwarzenegger-pratt-how-met-husband-chris-pratt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> that things were &#8220;amazing,&#8221; the outlet noted.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think anyone who finds the person that they get to spend the rest of their life with … it&#8217;s a huge gift and a huge blessing, so I feel really lucky,&#8221; Katherine shared.</p>

Marriage

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt, wife of Hollywood star Chris Pratt, defended her husband from criticism after he thanked her for giving birth to a “healthy daughter.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In November 2021, Chris Pratt, married before to actress Anna Faris, who gave birth prematurely to their son Jack, now 10, thanked Schwarzenegger Pratt for her love for him. After his birth, Jack had to <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/ehisosifo1/support-anna-faris-jack-chris-pratt-instagram-healthy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spend</a> several weeks in the NICU before the hospital deemed him ready to go home.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Guys. For real,” Pratt wrote on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CVynGLRp_ju/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=616b14e2-75d1-45b5-abcc-45df13ca96e7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram.</a> “Look how she’s looking at me! I mean. Find you somebody that looks at you like that!! You know!? We met in church. She’s given me an amazing life, a gorgeous healthy daughter, she chews so loudly that sometimes i put in my ear buds to drown it out, but that’s love!”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“She helps me with everything,” he continued. “In return, periodically, I open a jar of pickles. That’s the trade. Her heart is pure and it belongs to me. My greatest treasure right next to my Ken Griffey Jr Upper Deck Rookie card. Which if you know, you know is saying a lot. It’s her birthday in about 6 weeks. So if I don’t get her anything, I’ll tell her to look back on this post. Love you honey.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Speaking to <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a40289867/chris-pratt-interview-new-movies-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Men’s Health</a>, Pratt recalled the reaction from critics to his Instagram post: “And then a bunch of articles came out and said, ‘That’s so cringeworthy. I can’t believe Chris Pratt would thank her for a <em>healthy</em><em> </em>daughter when his first child was born premature. That’s such a dig at his ex-wife.’ And I’m like, That is f***ed up. My son’s gonna read that one day. He’s nine. And it’s etched in digital stone.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“It really f***ing bothered me, dude,” Pratt admitted. “I cried about it. I was like, I hate that these blessings in my life are—to the people close to me—a real burden.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“You don’t ever wanna get caught complaining or anything,” he said. “’Cause I have so many blessings. I consider everything a blessing truly in my life.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt gave a simple summation of how wrong people were about her husband, telling <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/06/style/katherine-schwarzenegger-pratt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>, “I see what people say. But I just know that it’s so far from the reality.”</p>
<p style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">Director James Gunn told Men’s Health, “It absolutely infuriates me. Chris is unspeakably kind to people; he goes out of his way to help kids. He’s an especially loving father. And there’s a lot of stuff that people have literally just made up about him—about his politics, about who he is, about what he believes of other people, you know?”</p>

‘It’s So Far From The Reality’: Chris Pratt’s Wife Defends Him From Critics Saying He Slammed Ex-Wife

Chris Pratt’s Wife Defends Him From Critics Saying He Slammed Ex-Wife

<p>Chris Pratt dropped huge news on Thursday about the status of his hit show &#8220;The Terminal List&#8221; when he posted a clip on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CoKo3RSpvf1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> of his character sailing away to a new destination.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-pratt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">43-year-old</a> actor didn&#8217;t caption the video he posted for his 41 million followers, but the shot picks up where the show left off at the end of the first season. In the clip, his character, Navy SEAL James Reece, is on board the same boat from the end of the first season — hinting at a new mission for the second season.</p>
<p>At one point the camera pans down to a map, making a reference to where he&#8217;s headed. Pratt&#8217;s character holds down the map with one hand and the camera focuses on the location &#8220;Mozambique&#8221; and &#8220;NIASSA.&#8221; The clip ends with him turning the wheel of the boat in a new direction as the shot fades out.</p>

<p>Reading through the comments, followers seemed more than thrilled to learn that Reece was headed out on another mission after barely surviving his last one which started with the murder of members of his SEAL team and his family.</p>
<p>One comment that definitely stood out was from the official account for &#8220;The Terminal List&#8221; which read, &#8220;Do you believe?&#8221;</p>
<p>Former Navy SEAL and &#8220;The Terminal List&#8221; author Jack Carr also commented on the post with the emoji of the official flag of Mozambique, a southeast African country.</p>

<p>The eight-episode first season was a huge hit for Amazon, scoring the No. 2 spot on Nielsen&#8217;s weekly Top 10 streaming ratings chart, the outlet noted. The show is about &#8220;a former Navy SEAL officer&#8221; who &#8220;investigates why his entire platoon was ambushed during a high-stakes covert mission,&#8221; a description on <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11743610/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IMDb</a> reads.</p>

Chris Pratt Drops Huge News About ‘The Terminal List’

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The phrase “Hollywood actor” often elicits the stereotypical image of a millionaire playboy sunning himself on a yacht surrounded by a bevy of bikini-clad models or walking a red carpet in a tux, mugging for the cameras.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leonardo DiCaprio and his younger-than-25 girlfriends. Jack Nicholson. Charlie Sheen. Tinseltown is chock full of men playing the part. Not all actors behave this way, however, and some are even countercultural enough to leave Los Angeles in search of a semi-normal life without sacrificing their careers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are a few of the best examples of actors who chose marriage, family, and the comforts of home over the empty promises of promiscuous sex alongside their fame and fortune.</span></p>
<h2><b>Mark Wahlberg</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actor and film producer Mark Wahlberg doesn’t bear much resemblance to the “Boogie Nights” porn star Dirk Diggler, who he famously portrayed in 1997. Instead, the 51-year-old actor recently joined a growing list of Hollywood celebrities fleeing California for greener pastures.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wahlberg discussed how he made that decision during an October appearance on the CBS talk show “The Talk.” He said his family were relocating to Nevada so his children could have “a better life.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I moved to California many years ago to pursue acting and I’ve only made a couple of movies in the entire time that I was there,” the Academy Award winning actor explained. “So, to be able to give my kids a better life and follow and pursue their dreams, whether it be my daughter as an equestrian, my son as a basketball player, my younger son as a golfer, this made a lot more sense for us.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s not the only way Wahlberg bucks the most common actor cliches. As an outspoken practicing Catholic, the father of four says he often attends Sunday mass twice in a day and that his faith is “the most important part of my life.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t try to push it on anybody and I don’t try to hide it,” he </span><a href="https://people.com/celebrity/mark-wahlberg-my-faith-is-the-most-important-part-of-my-life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">told</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> People of being Catholic during a 2022 interview. Wahlberg even regrets his breakout role in the explicit “Boogie Nights.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I just always hope that God is a movie fan and also forgiving, because I’ve made some poor choices in my past,” Wahlberg </span><a href="https://www.indiewire.com/2017/10/mark-wahlberg-god-forgive-him-boogie-nights-1201890465/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in 2017. “‘Boogie Nights’ is up there at the top of the list.”</span></p>
<h2><b>James Van Der Beek</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There aren’t weekly yacht parties in James Van Der Beek’s world. The “Dawson’s Creek” actor is too busy raising his brood of six kids along with his wife Kimberly on their sprawling Texas ranch. The 45-year-old actor has no regrets about leaving Hollywood behind in favor of the Lone Star State.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We love it. We have a lot more space,” the actor </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/james-van-der-beek-gushes-about-ditching-l-a-for-texas-says-his-kids-dance-in-the-rain" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in June 2022 of their new lifestyle. “We all need a more immediate connection to nature. It’s been a really, really great move and the kids are really happy.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The parks have been amazing,” he continued. “We’ve been going to state parks and the national parks. It’s just one of the benefits of getting out of the big city was getting to a place where we could just have more space right outside our door. It’s a very different life.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We watch the sunset,” Van der Beek said. “We can actually see stars, which is a new thing.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “Varsity Blues” star said living in Texas has “connected” and “centered” his family, who are quick to run outside and start dancing when it’s raining. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Van der Beek’s wife is also a huge proponent of homeschooling. &#8220;I think way too much is put on kids,” she </span><a href="https://people.com/parents/kimberly-van-der-beek-talks-homeschooling-five-children/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">told</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> People of the modern education system. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I look at school, to be honest with you, as a form of imprisonment, where they spend hours of their day being told what to care about and what to learn.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;We want strong children that are creative, self-sufficient, can make their own decisions, but we put them like a lineup of kids, moving them from subject to subject, activity to activity,” she explained. </span></p>
<h2><b>Chris O’Donnell</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actor Chris O’Donnell is another family man who believes his family comes first and career comes second. The 52-year-old father of five married Caroline Fentress, who is not in the business, in 1997. He told Redbook that choosing between movie stardom and devoting himself to being a husband and father was a no-brainer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I was being offered these huge films that would have taken my career to a different level, and I decided to put on the brakes,” he </span><a href="https://www.redbookmag.com/love-sex/mens-perspective/interviews/a6190/chris-odonnell-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">told</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> the publication in 2010. “I knew if I continued on that track, I probably wouldn&#8217;t have gotten married. … I was in the right place earlier than I thought. I would think to myself, &#8216;Could I imagine not marrying her?&#8217; And there was just no way.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “NCIS: Los Angeles” star said he was inspired by his own large, Catholic family and modeled his own priorities after the values he learned as the youngest of seven kids. He also credits a shared value system with his own marriage’s success.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Our families have the same values and traditions, and I think that goes a long way because when the excitement and heat of romance wear off, those are the things you fall back on,” he said of his marriage. </span></p>
<h2><b>Kirk Cameron</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s nothing typical about “Growing Pains” alum Kirk Cameron or his quest to expose the worst aspects of leftist ideology. The 52-year-old Golden Globe nominee is an outspoken Christian who believes in traditional values and thinks the public school system offers nothing but poorly disguised indoctrination for kids.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The problem is that public school systems have become so bad. It’s sad to say they’re doing more for grooming, for sexual chaos and the progressive Left than any real educating about the things that most of us want to teach our kids,” Cameron </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kirk-cameron-public-school-is-destroying-the-family-destroying-the-church-destroying-love-for-our-great-country" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in May while promoting his documentary, “The Homeschool Awakening.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cameron is also staunchly pro-life, which he demonstrated with the release of his pro-adoption film “Lifemark” in 2022. The star has been married to fellow “Growing Pains” co-star Chelsea Noble since 1991 and shares six children with her. Four of the kids are adopted, as was Chelsea. </span></p>
<h2><b>Chris Pratt</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s true that Chris Pratt is divorced from actress Anna Faris, but he still deserves credit for putting family first despite being a famous actor. The 43-year-old father of three is now married to Katherine Schwarzenegger and isn’t afraid to talk about his personal life, including how he was once homeless and eventually discovered Christianity following an encounter in a Safeway parking lot, according to <a href="https://www.heyalma.com/everything-we-know-about-chris-pratts-history-with-jews-for-jesus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previous interviews</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This guy came by and was like, ‘What are you doing tonight?’ I was like, ‘Oh, I dunno…’ So he’s like, ‘Will you fornicate tonight?’ I was like, ‘I hope so.’ ‘And drugs and drinking?’ It’s like, ‘Most likely, yeah. Probably all three of those things. I mean, at least two of them, possibly all three,&#8217;” Pratt said of the experience. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“He was like, ‘I stopped because Jesus told me to stop and talk to you. He said to tell you you’re destined for great things.’ My friends came out, and I was like, ‘Hey, I’m gonna go with this guy.’ I gave my soul to Jesus within, like, two days.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now Pratt, who provides the voice of Mario in the upcoming “Super Mario Bros.” movie, is a devoted family man who also earns the respect of major players on the Left and the Right.</span></p>

A Few Good Men: These 5 Hollywood Actors Put Faith And Family First

<p>Former NFL QB Tim Tebow talked about his faith and admitted &#8220;when you do stand for something, you will get criticized&#8221; but admitted that &#8220;it&#8217;s worth it.&#8221;</p>
<p>During <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tim-tebow-at-march-for-life-i-now-get-to-share-my-story-because-my-mom-gave-me-a-chance">Tebow&#8217;s</a> recent appearance on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;One Nation&#8221; Saturday, the host Brian Kilmeade compared the criticisms the former pro baseball and football player has faced to the criticisms actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-pratt">Chris Pratt</a> has dealt with for being open about his faith, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/tim-tebow-chris-pratts-open-faith-worth-it-when-you-believe-youre-standing-for-whats-right?utm_campaign=later-linkinbio-foxnews&amp;utm_content=later-31308152&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=linkin.bio">Fox News</a> reported in a piece published Sunday.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve heard Chris [Pratt] share … We&#8217;re friends with some of the same people,&#8221; Tebow explained. &#8220;I think that when you do stand for something, you will get criticized, but I ultimately believe that when you believe you&#8217;re standing for what&#8217;s right and what is true and sustaining to try to honor God, even though all of us fall short. I still think that it&#8217;s worthy, and it&#8217;s worth it.&#8221;</p>

<p>At one point in the interview, Tebow shared his lesson of gratitude and said that he hopes others can do the same when faced with disappointment in their lives as he spoke about his 2-5 minute devotionals he&#8217;s made to help others.</p>
<p>&#8220;We know life can be hard for people and there can be disappointing moments, but even in the disappointment, we can still choose to trust God,&#8221; the former NFL player shared. &#8220;We can trust God with the pain, trust him in the disappointing moments.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;One of the things my sister would always say to me is, God will never waste your pain when you give it to him … and one of the things I really love about these one-year devotionals is 31 of them are from other people, a few of them are from parents who lost loved ones, a few of them are kids that are dealing with life-threatening illnesses and one of them is from a survivor and how we can learn from all their different stories …&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ultimately, we want to learn from God&#8217;s word and God&#8217;s promises,&#8221; Tebow continued. &#8220;We know that we have a purpose. We know we were created on purpose — when we know there&#8217;s good things for us to do, when we can impact people, when we can love, we can serve, we can give that we can focus our mind every day on a mission mindset, and that can change everything around us to happen.&#8221;</p>

’It’s Worth It’: Tim Tebow Shares His Lesson On Gratitude As He Responds To Criticism He’s Faced For His Faith

Tim Tebow

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-pratt">Chris Pratt</a> and other cast members from “The Terminal List” took the time Friday to thank those who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/veterans">served</a> in the military in honor of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/veterans-day">Veterans Day</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The official Twitter account for the series shared a brief message Friday. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Hey, I’m Chris Pratt. I play James Reece in ‘The Terminal List,’” the video begins. </span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">For your sacrifice, we thank you. Today and every day. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/VeteransDay?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#VeteransDay</a> <a href="https://t.co/DzmcpH6Oik">pic.twitter.com/DzmcpH6Oik</a></p>
<p>&mdash; The Terminal List (@TerminalListPV) <a href="https://twitter.com/TerminalListPV/status/1591083335203291136?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 11, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I want to take a moment to appreciate our armed forces today,” Christina Vidal, who plays Mac Wilson, says next. “Thank you so much for your service,” Taylor Kitsch (Ben Edwards) continues. “Thank you for keeping us safe,” Tyner Rushing, who plays Liz Riley, adds. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pratt concludes the message saying, “God bless you.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“For your sacrifice, we thank you. Today and every day. #VeteransDay,” the Twitter post caption reads.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The Terminal List” resonated strongly with audiences thanks to what many claim is a realistic portrayal of the military. The series follows Navy SEAL commander James Reece, portrayed by Pratt, as he embarks on a mission to find out who killed his platoon and get revenge.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Though it became the most-watched video on Amazon Prime with 1.6 billion minutes of streaming during one week in July, the drama was largely panned by critics, leading some fans to accuse them of being unfairly critical to non-woke entertainment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pratt even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chris-pratt-mocks-woke-critics-of-the-terminal-list-by-touting-audience-stats-1-6-billion-minutes-streamed-so-far">shared the link</a> to a Daily Mail article with the title, “The new Yellowstone: Chris Pratt’s new Navy thriller The Terminal List defies woke critics’ scathing reviews to shoot up ratings chart with 1.6 BILLION minutes of streams.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He followed that with a photo of Dr. Evil from the “Austin Powers” franchise with the caption, “One point six BILLLLLLLLLION minutes.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This isn’t the first time Pratt went public with his appreciation for veterans. In 2019, he penned a lengthy tribute to his older brother Cully, who served in the military. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He wrote in part on the Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ueswlJoLc/">post</a>, “We have the greatest armed forces the world has ever seen. It’s made up of real people who joined for myriad reasons. Brave men and women who sacrifice a whole hell of a lot. Today is their day.”</span></p>

<p>Superstar Katy Perry let her millions of followers know on Monday that she was voting for billionaire Democrat Rick Caruso for mayor of Los Angeles because the city is &#8220;a hot mess&#8221; and more.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/katy-perry">38-year-old</a> pop singer shared several photos and a clip on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckq51-Vvxq6/">Instagram</a> with her 178 million followers after she officially cast a vote for Caruso, a former Republican, over Democrat Rep. Karen Bass.</p>

<p>In two of the photos, the &#8220;American Idol&#8221; judge took a selfie in the polling booth giving a thumbs up to the billionaire. In another snap, we see the &#8220;Firework&#8221; hitmaker striking a celebratory pose outside the polling location.</p>
<p>And in a final video, we see Perry giving a thumbs up to a message on the screen that read, &#8220;Thanks for Voting. Congratulations, you have cast your ballot in the November 8, 2022 General Election. Don&#8217;t forget your sticker on the way out.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Teenage Dreams&#8221; star joined other stars in voting for Caruso — like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-pratt">actor Chris Pratt</a> who shared with his 39.4 million followers that he&#8217;s lived in L.A. for 20 years and has witnessed its decline as crime and homelessness soar, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chris-pratt-makes-political-endorsement-while-taking-shot-at-democrats-he-knows-how-to-get-st-done">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve lived in LA for over 20 years,&#8221; Pratt shared in his Instagram Stories on Sunday. It&#8217;s been great to me. In that time I&#8217;ve seen what many residents here have seen, the city&#8217;s gradual decline into pain and utter disarray. If you live here, you know exactly what I&#8217;m talking about.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t normally support political candidates,&#8221; he added. &#8220;But in this election, there&#8217;s too much to lose.&#8221;</p>

Rick Caruso

<p>Actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-pratt">Chris Pratt</a> made an endorsement on Sunday in a local race that takes place during this week&#8217;s midterm elections.</p>
<p>Pratt, 43, endorsed candidate Rick Caruso (D), a former Republican, in his race against <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/04/karen-bass-eulogized-communist-party-usa-leader-391455">communist sympathizer</a> Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA).</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve lived in LA for over 20 years. It&#8217;s been great to me,&#8221; Pratt wrote on Instagram. &#8220;In that time I&#8217;ve seen what many residents here have seen, the city&#8217;s gradual decline into pain and utter disarray. If you live here, you know exactly what I&#8217;m talking about.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t normally support political candidates. But in this election, there&#8217;s too much to lose,&#8221; Pratt continued. &#8220;If you&#8217;re an LA voter, I urge you to vote for @rickcarusola. He&#8217;s a builder. He knows how to get s**t done. He&#8217;s the guy for our city. Rick Caruso for LA Mayor.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Chris Pratt offering the wise endorsement for Rick Caruso for Los Angeles mayor. Naturally, we must cancel him now. <a href="https://t.co/zjSVc9gNhE">pic.twitter.com/zjSVc9gNhE</a></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Bass is considered the front runner in the race but the polls have tightened significantly in recent days as Caruso has seen a boost in support from Latinos, The Los Angeles Times reported.</p>
<p>“If you are a Karen Bass person, you are anxious the race has gotten so close, but also grateful that you’re standing and still ahead after Caruso has thrown his biggest punches,” said Paul Mitchell, a political data expert, told the newspaper. “If you’re a Caruso person, you are still hopeful because you have this one last weapon in your back pocket: a $13-million field campaign program that is unprecedented.”</p>
<p>Elon Musk endorsed Caruso over the summer, saying that residents of the city were lucky to have him as a candidate.</p>
<p>&#8220;Los Angeles is fortunate to have someone like Rick Caruso running for mayor. He&#8217;s awesome,&#8221; Musk tweeted. &#8220;My political leanings are moderate, so neither fully Republican nor Democrat, which I am confident is the case for most Americans. Executive competence is super underrated in politics — we should care about that a lot more!&#8221;</p>

Chris Pratt Makes Political Endorsement While Taking Shot At Democrats: ‘He Knows How To Get S**t Done’

Marvel

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fans are mostly impressed with the new trailer for the “Super Mario Bros.” movie, but many are not happy about </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-pratt"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chris Pratt</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">’s voiceover work.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Universal Pictures </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies"><span style="font-weight: 400;">film</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in conjunction with Nintendo has a lot of eager fans excited for the 2023 release. Overall, the trailer is getting high marks for the animation, but viewers piled on to say Pratt did nothing to alter his normal speaking voice to more closely resemble Mario, who is supposed to be an Italian plumber with a noticeable accent.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="The Super Mario Bros. Movie | Official Teaser Trailer" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KydqdKKyGEk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pratt only has two lines in the </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/entertainment"><span style="font-weight: 400;">trailer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, saying, “What is this place?” and “Mushroom Kingdom, here we come!” However, that was enough to send Twitter into a frenzy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You can tell Jack Black put a ton of love and heart into his Bowser voice, while Chris Pratt just uh&#8230; spoke? Kinda weird but the visuals are absolutely f***ing stellar, and I love the general vibe of the whole thing,” one person </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">shared</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “I&#8217;m excited for this dang Mario movie.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Good to know that Chris Pratt was hired to voice Mario as Chris Pratt,” another </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">joked</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Chris Pratt saying he worked so hard on the Mario voice only for it to sound like Chris Pratt is the funniest thing,” another Twitter user </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">wrote</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What makes the backlash even more surprising is that the actor specifically mentioned how much work he had put into getting the voice right.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pratt told </span><a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/columns/chris-pratt-super-mario-bros-voice-jurassic-world-dominion-1235301622/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Variety</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> earlier this year that he “worked really closely with the directors” to create the perfect Mario voice, saying, “[We tried] out a few things and landed on something that I’m really proud of.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s an animated voiceover narrative,” Pratt told the publication at the time. “It’s not a live-action movie. I’m not gonna be wearing a plumber suit running all over. I’m providing a voice for an animated character, and it is updated and unlike anything you’ve heard in the Mario world before.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some fans were already annoyed to see Pratt cast as Mario, saying the studio should have opted for an actual Italian voice actor instead. Several of these critics are hoping the studio sees all the backlash and changes the movie before it gets released like they did when “Sonic the Hedgehog” got redesigned after the trailer was mocked.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pratt&#8217;s co-stars include Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson as Kamek, and Sebastian Maniscalco as Foreman Spike.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “Super Mario Bros.” film is slated to hit theaters in April 2023.</span></p>

‘The Funniest Thing’: Fans Mock Chris Pratt’s Voice As ‘Super Mario Bros.’ Trailer Drops

Fans Mock Chris Pratt's Voice As 'Super Mario Bros.' Trailer Drops

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-pratt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Pratt</a> definitely got everyone&#8217;s attention Wednesday when it seemed he did a whole lot more than just hint at a second season for the monster hit &#8220;The Terminal List.&#8221;</p>
<p>During the 43-year-old actor&#8217;s appearance on the &#8220;Danger Close&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1xcDFZ1Dgo&amp;t=4403s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">podcast</a> hosted by Former Navy SEAL and &#8220;The Terminal List&#8221; author Jack Carr, the two talked about the idea of a second season.</p>
<p>Carr would only say &#8220;we&#8217;ll see&#8221; and that there may be some &#8220;cool stuff on the horizon being discussed.&#8221; But Pratt, who plays Lieutenant Commander James Reece in the hit Amazon psychological thriller series, definitely went further.</p>
<p>WATCH:</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Chris Pratt: Becoming James Reece" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/r1xcDFZ1Dgo?start=4403&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>&#8220;To the rabid fans of &#8216;The Terminal List&#8217; out there, you have nothing to worry about,&#8221; the &#8220;Guardians of the Galaxy&#8221; star shared. &#8220;We love you and we appreciate your support.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s our life&#8217;s mission to make sure you can come back to the well,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And so we&#8217;re working away.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Amazon series is about &#8220;a former Navy SEAL officer&#8221; who &#8220;investigates why his entire platoon was ambushed during a high-stakes covert mission,&#8221; a description on <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11743610/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IMDb</a> reads.</p>
<p>The Carr series, based on his novel of the same name, has been a massive hit with audiences, despite critics trying to slam it as &#8220;anti-woke&#8221; and more, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/critics-media-trash-chris-pratts-anti-woke-terminal-list-audiences-love-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. It hit the streaming site on July 1.</p>
<p>The author recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/we-didnt-make-it-for-the-critics-author-of-the-terminal-list-responds-to-triggered-critics-trashing-chris-pratt-series" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reacted</a> to &#8220;triggered critics&#8221; who have trashed the series and said it wasn&#8217;t made for them.</p>
<p>&#8220;We didn’t make it for the critics,&#8221; Carr shared. &#8220;We made it for those in the arena. We made it for the soldier, sailor, airman, and Marine that went downrange to Iraq and Afghanistan, so they could sit on the couch and say, &#8216;Hey, these guys put in the work. They put in the effort to make something special and make a show that speaks to them.’”</p>
<p>During the star-studded red carpet premiere that was held in Los Angeles in June, Pratt posed for pictures with WWII veterans as he thanked the men in uniform, who he praised as members of the &#8220;greatest generation,&#8221; as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/honor-them-for-their-great-sacrifice-chris-pratt-shakes-hands-and-thanks-wwii-veterans-at-premiere-for-the-terminal-list" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.</p>

Chris Pratt Has Message For ‘Rabid Fans’ Of ‘The Terminal List’ About Whether Another Season Is Happening

Chris Pratt Suggests Second Season Of ‘The Terminal List’ Is In The Making

<p>Superstar <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-pratt">Chris Pratt</a> sent a message Sunday to all those people who died in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 — who &#8220;risked their lives for us and our country.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-pratt">43-year-old</a> actor marked the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-fans-sing-national-anthem-along-with-nypd-officer-at-jets-ravens-game">21st anniversary of 9/11</a> with a photo on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CiX3Gm_J2de/">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PrattPrattPratt">Facebook</a> showing rows and rows of American flags on a hill as he honored all those who got up that morning answered duty&#8217;s call, and never returned home.</p>
<p>&#8220;Today we remember those who woke up, kissed their families goodbye, and went to work without realizing they wouldn&#8217;t return,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chris-pratt-sends-message-to-fans-and-amazon-after-the-terminal-list-soars-to-number-1">Pratt</a> captioned his post.</p>
