Chris Pratt ditches wedding ring for first public appearance since split from Anna Faris
The 38-year-old actor attended the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (13.08.17) to accept the Choice Sci-Fi Movie Actor surfboard and although he did not acknowledge the recent breakdown of his marriage, he thanked Jesus and his fans for supporting him.

He said: "Wow, thank you, I love you too. What a privilege to be here at the Teen Choice Awards.
"I would not be here with the ease and grace I have in my heart without my lord and saviour, Jesus Christ."
And the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' actor also joked about the many lies he has told to succeed in Hollywood.
He said: "When I first came to Los Angeles, I came from Hawaii and I had all of this blonde hair and I was tan and I met an agent because I really wanted to be an actor and get an agent and he said, 'Wow. Bro you must surf?' And I said 'Yeah' and that was the first of many lies I told to get where I am today. Thank you."
Chris and Anna - who have four-year-old son Jack together - announced their split last week after eight years of marriage.
They said in a statement: "We tried hard for a long time, and we're really disappointed. Our son has two parents who love him very much and for his sake we want to keep this situation as private as possible moving forward. We still have love for each other, will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another."
