But Pratt was left pissed off by the remarks, bitterly telling reporters he knows he has made it in Hollywood now that a "famous troll" has commented on him. And he further lashed out at the 22-year-old actress - insisting he forgives her as she has endured a "tough" life as the less attractive twin, comparing her to her sister Ashley."(Mary-Kate) should probably focus more on not getting dressed in the dark than on me. I forgive her, though. She’s had to go through life as the less cute twin, which must be tough."

SEXY GAEL GARCIA BERNAL ON GAY ROLES

Sexy Mexican star Gael Garcia Bernal is confused by the criticism he has received for taking on roles portraying homosexual characters, because he considers it "cool". The Latin hunk has played gay men in director Pedro Almodovar’s La Mala Educacion (Bad Education) in 2004 and kissed Diego Luna in 2001’s Y Tu Mama Tambien (And Your Mother, Too). And he is insisting he is unabashed about his on-screen past, because it should not have any implication on his acting credentials. He says, "It’s so cool. I don’t see what all the fuss is about playing gay characters. When I did Y Tu Mama Tambien, I was asked, ‘Don’t you worry about what people will say to you in the street?’ It seemed like it was such a huge deal."Why would it be an issue for me? I think it is a very American thing. In Mexico, no one has given me any s**t for playing gay roles, for playing a transvestite, whatever. They don’t confuse the actor with the role. I mean, they don’t think Al Pacino’s a cop!&quo
