The audience saw Chris Pratt as Star-Lord in the first Guardians of the Galaxy film in 2014. Before the movie hit the theatres, many people were skeptical if Pratt could pull off the superhero look. However, the Parks and Recreation actor surprised the skeptics with an insane physical transformation. Since then, the MCU actor has become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after leading men. Now 43, Pratt has developed a love for working out like his father-in-law Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Earlier the Hollywood superstar posted a bodybuilding workout video on Instagram. Besides looking ripped, the Guardians of the Galaxy star also had a motivational message for his 41 million followers.
