“I Am Just Dumb”: Chris Pratt Apologizes for Future Press Tour Offenses
The "Jurassic World" star wanted to clear the air ahead of time, just in case.
By Bruna Nessif ••
Chris Pratt is taking all the necessary precautions to have a smooth press tour.
The actor hilariously took to his Facebook page tonight to write out a lengthy apology to fans. For what, you ask? Well, that's a very valid question, especially since Pratt hasn't actually done anything to be sorry for, but he might, and that's why he's saying sorry.
The "Jurassic World" star basically wants to put it out there now that should he say anything that comes off offensive, even in the slightest, during his upcoming press tour for the flick, he didn't mean it.
"I want to make a heartfelt apology for whatever it is I end up accidentally saying during the forthcoming #JurassicWorld press tour," Pratt began. "I hope you understand it was never my intention to offend anyone and I am truly sorry. I swear. I'm the nicest guy in the world. And I fully regret what I (accidentally will have) said in (the upcoming foreign and domestic) interview(s)."
He continued, "I am not in the business of making excuses. I am just dumb. Plain and simple. I try. I REALLY try! When I do (potentially) commit the offensive act for which I am now (pre) apologizing you must understand I (will likely have been) tired and exhausted when I (potentially) said that thing I (will have had) said that (will have had) crossed the line.
"Those rooms can get stuffy and the hardworking crews putting these junkets together need some entertainment! (Likely) that is who I was trying to crack up when I (will have had) made that tasteless and unprofessional comment. Trust me. I know you can't say that anymore. In fact in my opinion it was never right to say the thing I definitely don't want to but probably will have said."

The funnyman concludes, "To those I (will have) offended please understand how truly sorry I already am. I am fully aware that the subject matter of my imminent forthcoming mistake, a blunder (possibly to be) dubbed 'JurassicGate' is (most likely) in no way a laughing matter. To those I (will likely have had) offended rest assured I will do everything in my power to make sure this doesn't happen (again)."
