In “Unqualified,” Faris opens up about the change in her life when Chris Pratt became a pretty big movie star. For years, Faris had been pretty famous – we’ve seen her in literally every “Scary Movie” that’s ever been out and, she’s been quite the hilarious actress. Pratt, on the other hand, is just breaking into his career now. With “Guardians of the Galaxy” and films like “Passengers,” he’s starting to come into his own. Of course, this is when the media has decided to pounce on him and his personal life entirely. Which, of course, transfers over into his marriage with Faris.
Faris opened up that her publicist had “warned her” about the chemistry between Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence when he signed on to do the film with her.
Before they met in person, my publicist, out of the blue, pulled me aside. ‘Anna, listen there are going to be paparazzi all over them,’ she said. ‘There are going to be shots of them laughing together on their way to set. There are going to be stories circulating, and you have to brace yourself for this.

Of course, Faris admits she tried to ignore the rumors and have faith in her marriage and relationship with Pratt – but come on, there’s only so much one woman can take. Imagine everyone you know and their friends and then their friends and their friend’s mothers saying “your husband’s boning his co-worker.” Eventually, you get really sick of that sh*t and can’t handle all of it anymore. Any woman would understand. Even Jennifer Lawrence, who was in the middle of all this nonsense drama.
Faris admits in her book that Lawrence apologized to her, even though she had done absolutely nothing wrong. Let’s face it guys, she was just doing her job well.

Jennifer and I really are friendly, and she was apologetic even though she didn’t need to be, because she hadn’t done anything wrong. She’s awesome, but of course it’s hurtful and also embarrassing when people are saying your husband is cheating on you, even if it’s patently untrue. You still feel, and look, like a fool.
It takes a strong woman to come to another woman and put the bullsh*t aside and say: ‘look, I know what they’re saying and it’s not true, but, regardless I’m sorry that you’re going through this.” And, it takes an even stronger woman to say that the woman your husband had “cheated with” is awesome. Both of these ladies deserve a round of applause for showing society how to keep it f*cking classy (clearly, I need to take a few pointers).
