It looks as though a lot of people out there are looking up to Chris Pratt, thanks to the steps he's taken to transform his life around. The Hollywood actor says he's a role model for people looking to drop the pounds and get in shape and to live a healthier and happier life.

In a new interview with Men's Health this week, Pratt opens up about being one of the most admired men in Hollywood and how being fit has definitely helped his mental state of mind as well.

He said, "I can tell that people are motivated by my transformations, and that feels really good. But everyone should know when the movie star stuff is over, I might go back to being the fat guy. My wife wants a pizza oven - she's going to learn how to bake bread, and I'm going to eat it. I love the health benefits of exercise, and I have a kid now. By exercising, you really can add 20, 30 years to your life. But you gotta live too, so hopefully I'll find a nice balance."

He also credits his new healthy lifestyle for being more emotionally alert than he was before.

Pratt explained, "It's all right; you can say that I've been fat. As an actor, I can't have proper mental prep without proper physical prep. Even though I knew it deep inside, it look me a long time to realize how getting physically sharp helps me get ready for other things in my life."

Pratt's latest film, Jurassic World, is currently in theaters nationwide. Keep up with Enstars for all the latest news on Pratt along with his wife, Anna Faris.
