Chris Pratt Jokes About Being A Hugsband And The Internet Melts

Instagram/@prattprattpratt

Chris Pratt dropped one of the most wholesome posts of the day. Needless to say, the internet went crazy. The “Guardians of the Galaxy” star took to the Gram to share a cute clip that had him dubbing himself a “hugsband,” basically translating into- “In-Flashing-Pratt style hugs are a language of love.”

Pratt smiled and said in the clip, “Okay, you may know me as a husband, but I’m not just a husband. I’m also because my love language is the hug, I’m a hugs-bent. Mmm. Be a good hugs-bent. Good boy.” The caption? Just as simple: “This is your reminder to be a good #hugsband.”

Internet-wise, it went completely paralyzed. The comments started rolling in: heart-eye emojis, actual declarations of love, some person wrote, “Happy wifey ❤️. Love a good hugs-band. Marriage goals,” only to be followed by another one who said, “I love it!!!! Hugs are soooo good for you.” Such a warm-fuzzy kind of community vibe felt perfectly justified because it was Chris Pratt being adorably silly.

Other commenters chose not to linger only in the sweetness; they also threw in random questions, like the one asking, “When the terminal list will come out??” (For the record, another stated, “Terminal List: Dark Wolf, the prequel, comes out 8/27. Season 2 based off True Believer will most likely come out the beginning of next year.”) Classic internet behavior: chuck in a totally unrelated question and hope for the best.

Then there was a comment so dramatic it stuck out like a sore thumb: “I have the very answer to World 🌎 Peace ☮️ — but this world is too drunk on pride, poisoned by greed, and paralyzed by judgment to face the TRUTH‼️🚨🔔” To which someone replied, “beesh you cray.” Honestly? Mood.

Some comments were not that pure adoration. A playful one came with, “Better be a good husband. Arnold still pumping iron.😂” ‘Cause, apparently, someone had to bring up in a post about hugs that Arnold Schwarzenegger is still out there lifting weights like a machine.

Possibly, hardest was the response: “I want a hugsband like you 😍😂😂😂” because same. Same.

Chris Pratt’s post was a simple and lighthearted moment in a world that just often feels anything but that, with people responding to this lighthearted moment with love, laughter, and the occasional spiral into an existential crisis about world peace. Another day on the internet, much.

What does one take away from this? Hugs are good. Chris Pratt is wholesome. And if you are thinking of looking for deep philosophical answers in the comments section of a celebrity’s Instagram post… well, you might find those but you will also find exact opposite chaos.
