Chris Pratt is in hot water with fans, stemming from what at first glance is an innocent birthday shoutout for his son, Jack, who he shares with his ex-wife Anna Faris. Jack celebrated his 12th birthday over the weekend, and Pratt marked the occasion with a sweet Instagram post. However, many fans saw this as purely performative, and are calling him out for being an “absentee father.” Keep reading for more information.
The post in question is a series of photos of both Pratt and of Jack on their family farm. The photos show Jack feeding animals with bottles, holding baby farm animals, and petting horses. Beneath the photos, Chris wrote, “Happy Birthday to my wonderful son Jack. I thank God every day for you sweet boy. You are so smart, hilarious, kind, thoughtful, trustworthy and tough. I love you so much kiddo. Twelve!? I honestly can’t believe it.”
While most of the comments were friends, family, and fans leaving their own birthday wishes and praising Chris Pratt for doing such a great job as a father, others weren’t so nice.
