September 20, 2016

After shooting three movies back to back, actor Chris Pratt says he's taking six months off. In an interview with Parade, the 37-year-old actor said he's taking some time to be with his family.

"I've been on the road for 14 months — I did three movies back to back to back — so I'm taking six months off," Pratt said.

The in-demand actor has spent more than a year on location shooting three major upcoming films : Passengers, The Magnificent Seven and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Pratt says he plans on taking his family to the beach.

"I'm taking Jack to Jack's Beach — which is what we named the little stretch of beach on an island up on the San Juan Islands where we got a place," he told Parade. "We're going to go back to the fort we built about a month and a half ago when we went for a short visit and see if that's still there. If not, we're going to build it again."
