Ellen Page Rebukes Outspoken Christian Actor Chris Pratt for Praising His Church Which Stands Against Homosexuality During Interview Appearance on ‘The Late Show’

On Thursday, Chris Pratt took a pause from plugging The Lego Movie 2 on The Last Show With Stephen Colbert to talk about his faith and his church.

But Ellen Page, 31, didn’t see the digression as a harmless statement about his personal faith.

The Inception star took to Twitter to slam the 39-year-old Jurassic World star for his connections to what she called an anti-LGBTQ church.

‘Oh. K. Um. But his church is infamously anti lgbtq so maybe address that too?’ Ellen tweeted late Thursday night.

Chris was in the news after talking on Stephen Colbert’s show about how his faith had helped him balance his fame.

‘There’s this great quote, that I actually heard in church, and it felt really appropriate, which was, ‘If the spotlight that’s shining on you is brighter than the light that comes from within you, it’ll kill you.’ And you see it all the time,’ he explained. ‘People in our position, people that are actors — you see it a lot. It’s a real bright spotlight.’

The Guardians of the Galaxy star went on to discuss a contributing factor to his six-pack abs, a biblically-inspired diet known as the ‘Daniel Fast,’ after Daniel in the Bible.

‘I did it through my church,’ he said. ‘It’s based on Daniel … he was a guy, who … only ate fruits and vegetables and grains … I was inspired by my pastor, we do it, it’s kind of like our Lent, you know, give something up. And so, for 21 days I had no meat, no sugar, no alcohol, and it was actually amazing, it was really cool!’

The church and pastor went unnamed, but according to Vox, Chris attends Los Angeles’ Zoe Church, which is led by pastor Chad Veach.
