Chris Pratt admits he went to bed ‘depressed’ just hours after fans slammed him for a recent Instagram post in which he celebrated wife Katherine Schwarzenegger and their ‘healthy daughter.’
Chris Pratt took to Instagram on Nov. 5 to reveal he went to bed “depressed” last night, just hours after he faced backlash over some controversy surrounding his recent Instagram post about his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger. Fans slammed the Guardians of the Galaxy star for celebrating the “gorgeous healthy daughter” he has with her, as they interpreted that line as a dig at the son he shares with ex Anna Faris, who has suffered from various health issues.
“I went to bed last night really kind of upset and depressed and I woke up feeling crappy and I didn’t want to work out,” the 42-year-old said in an Instagram story posted Friday. “I knew that if I put on my Christian music playlist and I got out of the woods and ran that I’d feel better but I just didn’t want to and I did it anyways and gosh was I right. It felt amazing. I got out of the woods, got my blood pumping,” he said.
The Jurassic World star continued by sharing how his running routine plus Christian rock ultimately helped him weather the storm after the internet pile-on. “I don’t get emotional that often but I actually got emotional out in the woods,” he said, adding, “It felt like there was another in the fire standing next to me.”
Obviously, Chris doesn’t talk about or mention the scandal directly, so it’s very possible he was simply just talking about feeling “depressed” in general, but the timing is certainly making his followers wonder if it was also his way of addressing the backlash.

The 9-year-old was born premature and underwent numerous operations as a result of his condition. He weighed just 3 pounds and 12 ounces when he was born in 2012.
“The healthy daughter thing is a bit…considering he has a son with Anna Faris who has disabilities,” one fan pointed out. “I love Chris Pratt, but the ‘healthy daughter’ part made me wince,” another person tweeted. “Although he may not have meant it as an insult, it sort of came off that way. Imagine how that will make his son feel, if he ever reads it?”
Although the internet dragged Chris for his post, he has yet to respond to it directly.
