Career

Reality television

Pratt first appeared on television in 2005 in the short-lived reality series The Princes of Malibu. Pratt also executive produced the series and acted as a "manager-slash-publicist-slash-agent-slash-stylist" to series star Brody Jenner.[2] Pratt's friendship with Jenner led to his role on the MTV reality series The Hills, in 2006. Pratt's relationship with fellow cast member Heidi Montag was detailed on the series, along with the tension it caused between Montag and series star Lauren Conrad.[3]

In April 2009, Pratt and Montag joined the cast of the reality television show, I'm a Celebrity... Get Me out of Here!.[4] Their behavior on the show was criticized as being childish and self-centered, and clouded by further controversy after Pratt's sister Stephanie claimed that NBC subjected the couple to torture[5] (something the couple later denied[6]). After four days, they quit the show.[7] The couple then changed their mind and returned to the show after completing a challenge. However, they had to leave the show again shortly after returning because Montag had to be hospitalized due to a gastric ulcer.[8]

Personal life

Pratt and Montag were married in Pasadena, California on April 25, 2009.[9] Pratt was baptised by Stephen Baldwin during his stint on the show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me out of Here!.[10]

In July 2009, Pratt and wife Heidi publicly expressed that they felt the September 11 attacks were an inside job.[11] Pratt vowed to use his celebrity status to educate the public about the New World Order conspiracy theory.[12]
