Monday marks Labor Day for our American cousins, which honours the US labo(u)r movement…
As with any public holiday, it’s a time to unwind, take stock and enjoy some quality time with the family. That’s exactly how Guardians of the Galaxy star intended to spent the national day off.
Famed for his easy charm and brilliant sense of humour, the actor was in thoughtful mood when he posted a message on social media remembering his late father, as well as giving a little advice to the dads of today.
It shows a young Pratt with his old man and brother, excitedly holding fishing rods in the great outdoors. And the message is as heartfelt as it was succinct:
Your to do list:
1)have kids
2)play outside
3)teach them to fish
4)take pictures
Thanks Dad. Miss you man.
It’s not often the likeable actor – and father himself – gets serious, but when he does it tends to hit home. We feel you, Chris mate…
