Being coined as the male Jennifer Lawrence in terms of stardom and obscene amount of likability, Chris Pratt is certainly the current leading man of Hollywood. Gone are the days of the popular elegant, refined celebrity.

It also helps that Pratt went through an extreme physical transformation for the role of Peter Quill, a feat that I’m sure inspired other men and women to hit the gym day in and day out to be their own Star-Lord. Most importantly though, he actually looks and acts exactly like the Star-Lord they were trying to make. I’m not sure they could have cast a better actor, and the filmmakers knew that as well after casting him only seconds into his audition.
