The best Hollywood Chris debate has persisted online for years, and hones in on four main celebrities: Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Chris Pine, and Chris Pratt. In 2017, Pine even devoted his "Saturday Night Live" monologue to differentiating the four men.
In October 2020, the online debate became more heated than ever, however, when TV writer Amy Berg tweeted photos of the four actors with the caption, "One has to go."
Berg was met with an overwhelming amount of replies about Pratt, with many citing his political beliefs and affiliation with a church accused of anti-LGBTQ practices as reasons why he was lesser than his fellow Chrises.
The discussion went viral enough that Pratt's Marvel costars Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr. voiced support for him on social media.
However, Hemsworth dubbing Evans as the superior Chris doesn't seem to be a diss toward Pratt, and is instead part of an ongoing joke between the three of them.
For Evans' birthday in 2021, the "Extraction 2" star shared a photo of himself with Pratt to commemorate the occasion.
"Happy 40th birthday Chris Evans, you'll always be number 1 in my book," he captioned the photo of himself with Pratt.
