Anna Faris Questions Religious Son She Shares With Ex-Husband Chris Pratt About His Pro-Life Beliefs: 'Is It a Luxury?'

Anna Faris opened up about how she "challenges" her and ex-husband Chris Pratt's 14-year-old son, Jack, as he explores his religious beliefs.

"I'm like, 'Do you think it's a luxury that you get to be pro-life? Do you think that’s kind of a luxury?' He's like, 'Maybe,'" Faris, 49, said during an appearance on the Thursday, August 20, episode of the "Dear Chelsea" podcast.

"Or I’ll say, 'So what do you think of this megapastor that’s kind of a grifter? What do you think?' He’s like, 'Oh, megapastors are the worst.' So it’s like, 'OK, we’re getting there,'" she explained.

Faris admitted she purposely tries to "challenge" her son on certain ideas, though she was pleased with the thoughtful way he expressed his thoughts.

"I'm appreciative that he's examining religion the way he is in terms of recognizing hypocrisy, starting to recognize hypocrisy," she recalled. "And I’m appreciative that we can have these long conversations."

The House Bunny star called her son as "solid as a tugboat emotionally," adding she was proud that he doesn't "get easily jarred."

As for her own feelings with religion, Faris confessed she didn't grow up with it, but was open to learning more about the subject.

“He’s asked me to accept Jesus Christ … I told him that I would do anything for him, including this, but it’s still going to take a whole lot of long conversations," Faris told host Chelsea Handler.

Meanwhile, the Guardians of the Galaxy star, 47, who was married to Faris from 2009 to 2018, is known to be very open about his faith.

"I care enough about Jesus to take a stand, even if it cost me. It could cost me everything, but I don't care. It's worth it to me because this is what I'm called to do, it’s where my heart is," Pratt told The Christian Post in March 2025.

The actor said he experienced a turning point in his faith after jack arrived seven weeks premature and promised God that he would use his platform if he saved his child.

"He had all of these issues going on,” Pratt recalled. “I prayed hard to God. I was in a season of transition spiritually at that time, and didn't quite fully understand. I made a deal with God again: ‘I'm sorry, God, here I am again, asking for your grace again.’ And He really saved my son, and that was the moment [my faith] was cemented."
