Chris Pratt settles Super Bowl bet, visits children with cancer before Hasty Pudding honours

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Actor Chris Pratt has made good on a Super Bowl bet and visited young cancer patients before heading to Harvard University to accept a Man of the Year Award from America’s oldest undergraduate drama troupe.

The “Guardians of the Galaxy” star dressed as his character Star-Lord to visit Christopher’s Haven, a Boston home for children fighting cancer.

Pratt is a Seattle Seahawks fan. He lost a bet with “Guardians” co-star Chris Evans, a New England Patriots fan who plays Captain America.

Pratt is being honoured Friday night by Hasty Pudding Theatricals, whose members planned to parade him through Harvard Square and then roast him.

He also co-stars on NBC’s “Parks & Recreation” with Amy Poehler, who was feted last month as Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year.
