In the beginning, when the actor was asked to give his opinion on Musk’s decision on Twitter the actor Pratt said, “I don’t know,”
Pratt also talked about how he would want to be active on Twitter to make sure he is close to his followers through the internet. The actor said,
“I care deeply about all of [my followers]. I’ll do whatever I have to do to stay a part of their lives because I respect their attention and I love to use it as an opportunity to talk to them when I’m doing movies and stuff.”
Pratt stated that he is not worried about imposters. “Good luck,” he said ironically to potential con men. Actor Seth Rogen also came forward and talked about the Twitter policy and claimed that he will not be paying for it as he uses Twitter very less. The Green Hornet actor said, “I almost never use it.” Rogen isn’t very active on Twitter as he is on Instagram. Reports suggest that he prefers to connect with his fans on Instagram.
