Anna Faris Discusses Religious Differences With Son Jack

Faris, who does not share her son’s religious background, described the teenager as emotionally resilient, noting that his steady temperament allows for challenging discussions. Rather than avoiding the divide, the actress actively questions his perspectives. She recounted asking him whether his pro-life stance is a privilege and probing his thoughts on the integrity of modern religious leaders, a topic upon which they found common ground regarding the nature of hypocrisy.

Jack is the son of Faris and her ex-husband, Chris Pratt. Following their 2017 divorce, Pratt—who has publicly credited his faith to the experience of Jack’s premature birth in 2012—remarried and expanded his family. Faris, now married to cinematographer Michael Barrett, has largely kept her son out of the spotlight, though the pair recently appeared together at the premiere of the new Scary Movie installment. Faris remains focused on fostering an environment where they can examine faith critically without compromising their bond.
