message: "Moreover, Pratt has long affected dreadlocks, emulating tennis star Yannick Noah."
I removed this because I didn't see the point of it,  aside from being about as culturally ignorant as possible. 
1. "affected" means that it is not natural or genuine. 
2. emulating tennis star Yannick Noah is pointless, out of context statement. Though Pratt may have been a tennis player, unless there is citation to note the reason for committing to locks as a hairstyle specifically because of Yannick Noah, then this is just rubbish. 
3. There is a significant problem with comprehension of the cultural presentation of the information - locks as a hairstyle should be unremarkable, and unless you are willing to begin to note the length and style of hair for every single person of note on Wikipedia, then I suggest an end to remarks on locks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.189.131.15 (talk) 17:39, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  To add to article 

message: There are several parts of this article that are rather unencyclopedic, such as that he "is accepting students into his studio in the fall." Are we recruiting? A lot of it reads like promotional copy and includes quite a few things that don't belong. It just needs significant cleanup. I forget the tags for that.
