Chris Pratt

At 19, Chris Pratt was homeless by choice, viewing the experience as more of an adventure. After moving to Hawaii with a friend, he worked as a waiter, putting in just 15 to 20 hours a week—enough to cover gas, food, and fishing supplies.

Reflecting on that time, Pratt called it “charming,” though most wouldn’t describe homelessness that way. Nonetheless, this period marked the beginning of his journey to becoming a Hollywood star.
