Chris Pratt has to hold back with his jokes due to his fame.
Pratt appeared on KIIS FM’s The Smallzy Show to promote his new film Mercy. In the film, Pratt plays a detective who gets accused of his wife’s murder, and an AI judge tells him he has only 90 minutes to prove his innocence.
Smallzy, 41, asked him if the sci-fi thriller made him think over his past online behaviour.
“Well, I don’t know that it was necessarily the movie that taught me that, but I feel as though the entire collective of humanity is learning this lesson at the same time,” the Guardians of the Galaxy star said. “And yes, I am now increasingly guarded over what I put out on the internet.”
“I mean, when Twitter, back when X was Twitter, came out, I might have had 100 people that followed me, all of whom were close people that I would say inappropriate things to, behind closed doors to make them laugh. And so, I would do that on Twitter. And then before long I was like, oh, I have 60 million people on here who follow me. I cannot say those things,” he reflected.
Sharing an example of how it plays out, he said, “It’s like I saw this funny article about boats. Like what you name your boat. And if you have a $200 fishing boat and you call it the ‘Salty Hooker,’ it’s pretty funny. But if you have a $200 million yacht and you call it the ‘Salty Hooker;’ you’ll become a pariah in society,” he said.
Mercy hits theaters on January 23.
