Chris Pratt Attacked after Sending 'Healing Power of Prayer' to Kevin Smith
Chris Pratt
Chris Pratt  took to social media Monday to urge  his  followers to pray for Kevin Smith after the filmmaker suffered a serious heart attack Sunday night â only to be attacked by commenters who mocked the actor and questioned whether prayer was an effective way to respond to the health scare.
The 38-year-old Guardians of the Galaxy star and openly religious Christian wrote Monday on Twitter that though  he  hardly knew Smith   he  is a fan of  his  work and was praying for  him  to make a full recovery.
The comments were among several by users who slammed  Pratt  for his initial tweet.
Also joining in to defend  Pratt  was his Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn.
âIâm not tweeting this to defend  Chris  â heâs a big boy and can take care of himself â Gunn wrote in a series of nine tweets. âBut for me  personally  prayer and meditation are great boons to my life and help me navigate my way through this world  and I donât want to dissuade others who find those things useful.â
So I just read Chris Prattâs tweet to Kevin Smith saying he would pray for him & made the mistake of reading the comments  many of which go off on  Chris  for saying heâd pray. I think people misunderstand the backlash against âthoughts & prayers.â (thread) â James Gunn (@JamesGunn) February 26  2018
