Chris Pratt on Meta glasses, Super Bowl commercial, & Style

Chris Pratt has already won the hearts of fans around the globe thanks to his many popular roles in film and television. At 45 years old, he feels like America's cool brother, thanks to his approachable demeanor and laid-back personal style.

Today, football fans can look forward to seeing more of their favorite actor in a new Super Bowl commercial. Pratt is starring alongside Kris Jenner and Chris Hemsworth for Meta’s creative ad spot during Super Bowl LIX, showcasing the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses and their AI capabilities.

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Matthew Vaughn, the ad showcases how this groundbreaking technology is redefining wearable tech with built-in Meta AI features. As part of the exciting announcement, Sports Illustrated's Kicks On SI spoke with Pratt about his partnership with Meta, his love of the glasses, and his favorite footwear.

What made you want to partner with Meta on this campaign?

Have you tried the glasses?! The product is dope! It’s a “big game” spot. (I say big game because I guess we can’t say super bowl for some reason?) and that’s a really big deal to book a commercial for the “big game” since everybody is gonna be watching. It’s basically the super bowl of commercial spots. Not to mention working with Hemmy again. And Katherine was absolutely thrilled I got to work with Kris Jenner.

The Ray-Ban Meta glasses are stylish and functional. What are your favorite parts?

I love the headphone capability. You can legit be listening to music or a podcast and nobody would know you’re just a dude wearing some glasses bobbin your head for no reason. Also, the recording capabilities are pretty rad.

You know how if you record a cool moment on your phone it kind of takes you out of the moment, right? You’re not watching the concert, or the fireworks, or looking at your kids or whatever- you’re looking at your phone. With meta RayBans you can capture the precious moments without ruining them by holding up your phone.

Not to mention they’re stylish and don’t look like some dorky space goggles or something. They actually look good. I’ve wore Ray Bans for years. They’re a staple. They look good on everyone.

How much fun was it filming this campaign spot?

Hemmy’s the best. Such good energy. It was fun to collaborate with him and Matthew. Honestly the most fun was being one of the first people to have the new glasses and walking around wearing them and telling everyone about them. They’re like “it’s cool bro… you don’t have to sell me just cause you’re doing a tv commercial” I’m like, “IM NOT!! They’re legitimately an awesome product!!!”

Which of the characters that you have played would be the most likely to wear these glasses?

Whichever one people like the most. That one.

Last question: we know you golf and train a lot. What are your go-to shoes for the course and gym?

I still rock a lot of Cuater by Travis Matthews. And I do love G4. They have great camo patterns. For training I’m all about the Hokas. I used to wear those dorky toe shoes. But I think they might have messed my feet up. Now I’m all about the cushion baby! Hokas are very comfortable. I can’t really run in anything else. I also love Solomon’s for my everyday wear.
