'Guardians of the Galaxy' star Chris Pratt says being criticized for his faith is 'nothing new'

Chris Pratt likened the hate he receives for his faith to that of Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago.

"That’s nothing new, that’s nothing new, you know," he told Page Six, before quoting Scripture.

"If I was of this world, they would love me just like that but as it is, I’ve chosen out of this world. That’s John 15: 18 through 20," he said.

," James Gunn rushed to Pratt's defense, saying he would never replace the actor due to "utterly false beliefs" of the public, in a since deleted tweet. "For what?" Gunn responded to a user suggesting Pratt be recast. "Because of your made-up, utterly-false beliefs about him? For something that someone else told you about him that’s not true? Chris Pratt would never be replaced as Star-Lord but, if he ever was, we would all be going with him.
