It’s no secret that Chris Pratt has undergone a drastic physical transformation during the past couple years. The 35-year-old actor went from dadbod-esque Andy Dwyer in “Parks and Recreation” to superhero six-packer Starlord in “Guardians of the Galaxy,” and his star has only been rising since then.

In a recent interview with Radio 4’s Front Row (via Yahoo UK), Pratt admitted there’s definitely a correlation between getting ripped and snagging franchise fame with leading man roles.

"A huge part of how my career has shifted is based on the way that I look, on the way that I’ve shaped my body to look,” he said, adding that he didn’t make himself over “in a calculated way,” but it’s played a part in upgrading his career.

The “Jurassic World” star also said he feels “totally objectified now,” but he’s not losing sleep over the ogling and obsession with his physique.

"I think it’s OK, I don’t feel appalled by it,” he said. "I think it’s appalling that for a long time only women were objectified, but I think if we really want to advocate for equality, it’s important to even things out. Not objectify women less, but objectify men just as often as we objectify women.”

While it’s certainly not cool that ANYONE is objectified, Pratt’s rationale sort of makes sense. Let’s be real: Hollywood will always be more accommodating to attractive, photogenic people — that’s something that’s not going away anytime soon. But at the very least, Pratt says, we can try to level the playing field.

"There are a lot of women who got careers out of it, and I’m using it to my advantage,” Pratt said about transforming his bod. “And at the end of the day, our bodies are objects. We’re just big bags of flesh and blood and meat and organs that God gives us to drive around.”

What Pratt seems to think is that if his female costars are expected to live up to certain societal pressures, we should be doing the same with male movie stars.

Just earlier this week, we saw a frightening example of sexism in Hollywood with the double standard-filled red carpet photos of Selena Gomez and her “Hotel Transylvania 2” costars. Clearly, there’s a lot of work to be done with squashing sexism once and for all, but hopefully ideas like Pratt’s will help the cause.
