Comic Book Hero: Chris Pratt Reflects on Son's Premature Birth After Visiting Children's Hospital

ABC – Ida Mae Astute(SEATTLE) — Chris Pratt has already made a name for himself trying to brighten the difficult days of kids recuperating in various hospitals by paying them a visit — sometimes wearing the wardrobe of his Guardians of the Galaxy hero Star-Lord — and on Tuesday, he was at it again. 

However, his visit to Seattle Children’s Hospital was particularly close to his heart, as he got to spend time with two babies who, like his and wife Anna Faris’ son Jack, were born prematurely. 

“Ever since Jack’s premature birth, we have a special affinity for the NICU (neo-natal intensive care unit),” he said in an Instagram snap of the meeting. “Today I spent a little time with Coen and Zion, twins who were born too early only a pound and a half each. Thank you to the doctors and nurses at @seattlechildrens The boys are doing fine. Although they’re both missing their big sis.”

Pratt also took the time to visit with some of the other young patients, and citing scripture, urged people to remember to do some good.

“Thank you @seattlechildrens for the opportunity to come by and brighten some days. My heart is full,” he wrote. “Proverbs 3:27 Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.”
