Celebrated
Hollywood
actor
Chris
Pratt,
who
has
been
inducted
into
two
of
the
biggest
Hollywood
franchises,
Guardians
of
the
Galaxy
and
Jurassic
World,
said
that
he
feels
he
is
an
outsider
in
Hollywood.
"Hollywood
has
a
tendency
to
homogenise
its
men
and
women.
I
definitely
felt
like
an
outsider
and
I
was
I
probably
still
am
an
outsider
in
a
way,
although
I
spend
more
time
in
Los
Angeles
than
out
of
LA." Said
Pratt.
Chris
Pratt
had
a
humble
beginning
at
Hollywood,
prior
to
which
he
was
homeless,
had
been
living
in
a
van
and
working
as
a
waiter
at
a
restaurant
in
Hawaii.
"Being
an
outsider
is
becoming
more
and
more
helpful
now.
People
who
live
in
California
and
LA
for
a
long
time...
They
all
become
very
similar.
There
is
great
weather,
great
food,
easygoing
attitude,
it
is
pretty
progressive,
thoughtful
and
mindful."
Pratt
added.
"All
that
is
really
great
but
it
doesn't
necessarily
make
for
the
most
diverse,
compelling
group
of
actors,"
the
actor
stated.
Chris
Pratt
also
appreciated
the
diversity
trend
in
Hollywood
and
said,
"A
lot
of
guys
become
exactly
the
same.
For
me,
it
was
really
helpful
to
have
this
outsider
perspective."
"People
in
LA
often
cast
a
Canadian,
or
someone
from
Australia,
Britain
or
India
or
anywhere
from
the
outside
because
they
have
a
point
of
view
that
is
different
from
the
creators
and
the
writers
in
LA."
The
actor
explained
further.
