While Pratt isn't the first movie star to undergo weight fluctuations throughout the years (case in point: <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/weight-loss/a19544933/jonah-hill-weight-loss-secret/" id="40a48276-4685-3961-a8de-bdeac1f3c3ed"> Jonah Hill </a> ), it looks like the "Fit Chris" has a pretty good chance of sticking around for a while. Many of the more recent roles Pratt has taken on have required him to get into shape, starting with the first Guardians of the Galaxy.

Check out this Instagram post of Pratt's from 2013:

So what's the secret to Pratt's success? Looks like a combination of lowering the beer count, some serious gym time, and a knack for being cast in roles that require the guy be ripped. Hey, if your job is dependent on you having a <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a19519353/six-pack-science/" id="6ddfb57c-b9c0-3d02-aa09-b3c56ec3718a"> six-pack </a> , it probably makes it a little easier to get yourself <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a19545925/the-best-tips-4/" id="8b4c5375-d382-3341-ad19-68cabf3f9303"> motivated to get your sweat on </a> . And it appears that this trimmer Pratt won't be going away any time soon. He's currently filming for two sequels that kept him in top shape: the newest Avengers as his GOTG character, Star Lord, which is scheduled to be released in 2018, and the Jurassic World sequel, also scheduled for a 2018 release.

Pratt's role Zero Dark Thirty had him built- but by the time the movie premiere rolled around in 2012, Pratt had <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/weight-loss/g19543599/gaining-weight/" id="7f981f42-6f9b-3415-aa38-a127cc07f89e"> packed on some extra pounds </a> .

Pratt had packed it on, and we're not talking muscle. Check out this Instagram post, which documented his weight from around that same time.

Who could forget the lovable Andy Dwyer from Parks and Recreation? While literally anything Pratt said or did made us laugh, he was a lot different from the ripped Star Lord of today.

The change started when Pratt took on the role of Star Lord in the first Guardians of the Galaxy, which was release in 2014.

He's stayed pretty consistent since, <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/weight-loss/a19536817/weight-loss-tips-1/" id="4cf7df50-2291-3a76-a33b-f60b010494cf"> dropping fat </a> and building a lot of muscle.

And here's the most recent of him, at a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 premiere in Tokyo, looking very trim.
