Chris Pratt Reflects on 'Parks & Rec' Co-Star Aubrey Plaza Joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Talks His Future as Star-Lord

On how Marvel changed his life…

“My entire life is different now because of Marvel, because of the Guardians of the Galaxy,” Chris told the outlet. “It did change my life in such a way that I’ve been going nonstop ever since.”

The role also changed his body. Chris referred to the “pain” of bulking up to play the character. The star debuted a notably more muscled stature in 2013 ahead of the role and has since revealed a role that he was deemed “too fat” for before changing his body.
