Anna Faris Discusses Son's Religious Views on Podcast

Actress Anna Faris told host Chelsea Handler on her podcast that her 14-year-old son is emotionally resilient and more religious than she is. Faris said the boy has asked her to accept Jesus Christ and that they often engage in lengthy conversations about politics and religion. > "I told him that I would do anything for him, including this, but it’s going to take a whole lot of long conversations," Faris said, adding that she challenges his views on topics such as abortion and megachurch leaders. She noted that her son is beginning to recognize hypocrisy in religious institutions and that she appreciates their dialogue.

Faris, who is married to cinematographer Michael Barrett, also mentioned her upcoming role in the comedy "Spa Weekend." The discussion referenced Chris Pratt’s public statements about his Christian faith and his approach to raising children with religious values, though Faris did not elaborate on his views.

In 2024, Pratt declined to endorse any presidential candidate, urging Americans to accept election results and focus on mutual support.
