In terms of his end result, the actor said he want to get into ‘the best shape’ ahead of filming for season two of his hit show Terminal List.
‘Anyways, its day one and my goal is to be in the best shape I could possibly be before we start filming Terminal List season two which is in March. That gives me about eight to ten weeks.
Pratt has gained and lost weight for past roles to better fit his individual characters on screen, proving his dedication to the craft.
He previous admitted he intentionally gained weight for his roles in Delivery Man (2013) and Parks and Recreation (2009-2015) because he thought he was funnier when he was heavier.

Despite his success, Pratt remains candid about the challenges of maintaining a toned and built physique.
He told Fox News in 2019, ‘Honestly, there’s no trick or secret to it. It’s about getting after it and being patient and consistent.’
Elsewhere in the interview he said, ‘If you cut the crap out of your diet and spend an hour a day doing something physical, you’ll feel better mentally, physically and spiritually, because it’s all tied together.’
Back in mid-December, the A-list actor was spotted out with his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, 35, and son Jack, 12 as they hit up a local farmers market in Los Angeles.
