Chris Pratt. Everything about him is indeed awesome... Here he is, melting hearts everywhere (and not just because of the guns on display) in New York earlier in the week. He decided to halt a screening of Guardians of the Galaxy, which had been specially hosted for 250 kids from "local charities", to answer questions, high five anyone within arm's reach, and take selfies a plenty, before also partaking in an impromptu Q&A.

He told the assembled "I think you're all very awesome... take it from a kid who grew up having no money, struggling hard to get by. Just know that if you stick to your path and you believe in yourself and be courageous enough to be yourself, you can grow up and you can be your own Star-Lord."
