Chris Pratt

Chris Pratt took drastic measures to lose weight after he was initially rejected for the role of Scott Hatteberg in Moneyball because he was too fat for the part. He was unwilling to take no for an answer, so he started hitting the gym, upped his calorie intake to 4,000 calories a day, and drank a bunch of water. He decided to shred the pounds as quickly as possible until he was eventually rewarded by being offered the role.

Pratt’s workouts included sessions of P90X, running, swimming, boxing, kickboxing, and triathlon. He even reached the degree of working with a trainer six days a week to maintain his physique. Pratt starred in hits like Zero Dark Thirty and Jurassic World.
