Actor Chris Pratt loves being a father.
Pratt, 43, has three children of his own and said being a father has changed “the kind of actor you are.”

“It can definitely change the kinds of roles you want to be involved in,” Pratt told Men’s Journal. “I’ve found myself wanting to do more PG movies.”
“I see a lot because my kids want to watch them, and to be honest, some of them are bad. And I’m sitting there thinking, ‘This is terrible,’” he continued. “So at the same time as wanting to make movies that would entertain my kids, I’m also thinking about creating movies that are merciful on the parents.”
The Terminal List star also disagreed with those who suggest holding off on having children.
“People say all the time, ‘Don’t rush to have kids.’ I personally disagree. Rush. Have them. Of course, make sure you find a great partner, but don’t wait,” he said.
Pratt admitted his role in The Terminal List caused him to imagine how he would respond if someone tried to hurt his children.
“Whenever you’re put in a position, or even imagine a position, where those kids are in danger, your mind goes to wild places. I mean if I was put through the situations that James was in, I would probably do the same f***ing thing. I think that’s why those storylines resonate so strongly with fathers,” Pratt said.
“I think every dad secretly fantasizes about what they would do if someone ever f***ed with their kids,” he added. “Or maybe that’s just me and I’m revealing something here! But as someone who’s talked to a lot of dads, I think we all ask ourselves what we would do. That’s one of the reasons Liam Neeson’s movie Taken was such a hit. Us dads are just like, ‘Yes! Get ’em! Use that special set of skills.'”
