“Not Even Trying To Hide”: Chris Pratt Brutally Mocked Over Viral Clip After Charlie Kirk’s Passing

Chris Pratt is facing fresh backlash after sharing a prayer video that left fans questioning his authenticity.

The 46-year-old actor recited Psalm 46:10 in a short clip, just days after he was criticized for his tribute to late conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Charlie tragically lost his life in a fatal attack while attending a speaking event at Utah Valley University on September 10.

“He was peeking the whole time,” complained one social media user.

The 31-year-old political figure was a staunch supporter of, and close friends with, President Donald Trump. 

The news of his passing was first announced by the U.S. president on Truth Social.

He wrote, “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is d**d… He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family.”

On September 14, Chris shared a now-viral 1-minute clip on his official X account, urging viewers to “just stop real quick and pray” with him.

The Guardians of the Galaxy star recited a Psalm with his eyes closed, or squinted, to be exact. 

He appeared to be reading the prayer from his phone.

“His eyes not fully closed all the way so he can read the verses is sending me,” commented one user.

At the end of the prayer, he concluded the clip by saying, “Now you can continue scrolling or you can turn your phone off and go outside.”

“Might I suggest the latter? Go get some sunshine. Go look at a tree, touch some grass. Call a friend. If you’ve got time to be on your phone right now, you’ve got time to do your to-do list and you’ve got time to reach out to somebody in need.”

Just days prior, Pratt shared a post on X, hours after the news of Charlie’s passing became public. 

He offered his condolences and prayed for Kirk’s wife, Erika, and their two young children, a 3-year-old daughter and a 16-month-old son.

“Praying for Charlie Kirk right now, for his wife and young children, for our country. We need God’s grace. God help us.”

During his signature ‘Prove Me Wrong’ table as part of Kirk’s American Comeback Tour at the university, he was hit in the neck by an assailant and did not survive the injury. 

One of the eyewitnesses at the event, Justin Hickens, told NBC News, “I saw a bunch of blood come out of Charlie. I saw his body kind of kick back and go limp, and everybody dropped to the ground.”

Other celebrities who shared their thoughts and prayers for Charlie included big names in the industry, such as Jimmy Kimmel, Meghan McCain, and Piers Morgan.

One user commented, referencing Pratt’s devout religious practices, “An actor struggling to remember lines… from the book he claims is his fave.”

“He’s pretending to close his eyes but you can clearly see he’s squinting and reading it off his phone I’m crying.”

Kirk’s passing also sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with people across the country voicing their opinions. 

However, several individuals have reportedly been fired from their jobs for speaking against Charlie.

MSNBC dismissed its senior political analyst Matthew Dowd following his controversial on-air remarks. 

He stated, “You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have, and then saying these awful words, and not expect awful actions to take place.”

Meanwhile, several teachers also faced temporary job loss, including Wynne Boliek, a high school teacher at Greenville County School District in South Carolina, who openly rejoiced over Kirk’s passing in a Facebook post.

“Thoughts and prayers to his children but IMHO [in my honest opinion] America became greater today. There I said it.”

“What a weird post!” wrote one social media user, mocking Chris’ online prayer
