Movie Star of the Year: Chris Pratt

Who: Chris Pratt, 35, actor

Why: The star of box-office powerhouses keeps it real as a humble celeb and caring father.

To date, The Lego Movie has earned $257.8 million and Guardians of the Galaxy has raked in $332.6 million. Yet the star of both films, Chris Pratt, remains pretty much the nicest, most humble and coolest guy in Hollywood. He's seemingly happily married to actress Anna Faris, and his ego is inversely proportional to his impressive pecs.

"You break your heart when your expectations are not met,'' he told Paste BN earlier this year. "I'm in these movies. But there's no guarantee that anyone will go see these movies. They can make zero dollars total. It's not hard to lower expectations. It's all about keeping your eyes on the prize and doing good work."

Pratt has no trouble keeping things firmly in perspective. Note what he said at a fundraiser for the March of Dimes when he talked about his son Jack, who was born prematurely in 2012: "Just about nine weeks early. He was three pounds, 12 ounces. Anna got to hold him for a moment and then it was off to the neonatal intensive care unit. ... He had a feeding tube and just wires in and out, and he lived in that incubator. That was his first crib."

Movies are fun — he'll star in Jurassic World, out June 12 — but they take a backseat to what matters. "I've done all kinds of cool stuff as an actor," he said at the fundraiser. "I've gotten to jump out of helicopters and do daring stunts and play baseball in a professional stadium, but none of them mean anything compared to being somebody's daddy."

Lest you need further proof that Pratt doesn't wallow in his own self-importance, his Twitter handle is @prattprattpratt. And here's a recent post: "#OneOfTheBestSundaysEver #Family #Food #Football."
