That was his very first movie role. He took whatever he could get.
Not defending his words, just saying that's what new actors do.
Yeah but when Chris Pratt was cast to do the voice of Mario he pitched an online hissy fit saying "they messed up the inclusion".
Which is hilarious because his movie had an Englishman and a Puerto Rican playing two Italian plumbers.
TL;DR: He's a woke racist nut job.
The movie showed Mario and Luigi are third-generation immigrants and can't even do a convincing Italian accent due to that generational distance. If anything, Pratt's voice casting was authentic.
