The 46-year-old Guardians of the Galaxy star asked fans to “pray for Charlie Kirk, his wife, and kids” after the activist was shot during a Utah event on September 10. Some Marvel fans criticized Pratt, accusing him of ignoring other tragedies.
In response, Pratt shared a Bible verse and encouraged followers to pause, pray, and connect with loved ones. “Go get some sunshine. Touch grass. Call a friend,” he said.
While some comments remained negative, others praised Pratt for spreading positivity. “This is exactly what we need right now,” one user wrote.
