Anna Faris’ rare comments about her and Chris Pratt divorce

Speaking in an interview with Variety, Anna Faris reflected on the period surrounding her separation from Pratt. She admitted the experience was emotionally challenging, especially under public scrutiny.

She said, “I was feeling sad. Sad. I do feel like I had enough gumption, enough of a core, and I have tried to be careful about how much Hollywood infiltrates, but now I’ve been on a spectrum of fame for 26 years, so I would be naïve to think that it hasn’t shaped who I am at this point. But, fuck. The scrutiny.”

She also pointed to her podcast, Anna Faris Is Unqualified, as a major source of comfort during that time. “I’m lucky that at that time I had my podcast [‘Unqualified’]. That goes back to the talk radio. I wanted, like, four people to listen and to build my own secret community. I wanted an avenue outside of Hollywood as a way to connect with people.”

She explained that she has always enjoyed meaningful conversations. She even used to ask strangers personal questions during ski lift rides. “I used to do this thing on ski lifts where, if I was on a ski lift with a stranger, I’d say, ‘Do you want to have a really intense ten-minute conversation with me? And you can answer any question you want to.’ And I’d ask them questions like, ‘When was the first time you fell in love?'”

“I’ve had a constant desire to connect with people. I didn’t disclose a lot on the podcast, but I always felt like I could if I needed to. The podcast helped me a lot during that time, and it made me think: I know I could be happy if I’m writing, because I’ve always loved that, and maybe that’s an avenue to make money,” she further added.

Faris also spoke about thinking about “retirement.” However, she said that she feels like “the opportunities are more bountiful than they’ve ever been! I’m just overwhelmed with gratitude.”

Faris and Pratt split in 2017 and finalized their divorce a year later. Both have since moved on and found love again, with Pratt marrying Katherine Schwarzenegger and Faris marrying Michael Barrett.
