Cambridge, Massachusetts: Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt has been named Man of the Year by Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals.
Pratt also co-stars on NBC’s Parks & Recreation with Amy Poehler, who was named as Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year last week.
Jason Hellerstein, president of the student group, says, “We vehemently deny that the members of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals are obsessed with Parks & Recreation.”
Hasty Pudding Theatricals is the nation’s oldest undergraduate drama troupe, dating to the late 18th century.
Wednesday’s announcement says Pratt became “a bona fide Hollywood heavyweight”, in the past year.
Pratt will receive his pudding pot on February 6 following a parade through Harvard Square and a roast. Poehler will be honoured January 29.
Last year’s winners were Helen Mirren and Neil Patrick Harris.
