While speaking to GQ, Glen said that Chris‘ appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy made it possible for Hollywood’s leading men to be “silly” instead of only having “brooding or dark” roles.
“I remember when Chris Pratt broke out in Guardians of the Galaxy,” Glen said in the magazine’s cover story. “There’s no doubt it really helped — not being brooding or dark. Like, I’m not Christian Bale. Christian Bale has a gravitas and a weight, and [Robert] Pattinson had his thing. And when Pratt kind of appeared on the scene where he was doing things that were a little more silly and buoyant, that’s where I feel most at home. And that’s where I feel like I had a gear that is a necessary flavor in terms of Hollywood, and not a gear that a lot of guys can play.”
Glen also said he feels like his age has helped him become a star recently. He told the publication, “The guys that I admired, they usually didn’t break until they were later in the game.”
If you missed it, Glen also broke his silence on his recent breakup.
