During an interview with Extra, Allen, 69, said the prequel to "Toy Story" is completely different from the original films.

“Lightyear.”The 69-year-old portrayed the animated toy astronaut Buzz Lightyear in the Disney franchise from 1995 until 2019. But Chris Evans is voicing the character in 2022’s “Lightyear” — and Allen recently discussed why he was not involved in the new project.“This is a whole new team that really had nothing to do with the first movies,” Allen told “Extra” on Wednesday.“The short answer is I’ve stayed out of this ’cause it has nothing to do [with his character],” the “Home Improvement” alum added.Allen recalled thinking that the flick would be “live action” with “real humans” and “not an animated thing.”However, Allen noted: “There’s really no ‘Toy Story’ Buzz without Woody.” Woody is Buzz’s best pal and was played by Tom Hanks in the “Toy Story” films.Allen stated that even though the new movie has “a wonderful story, it just doesn’t seem to have any connection to the toy.”“I wish there was a better connection,” the “Santa Clause” star declared.“Lightyear” is posed as a spinoff-prequel to “Toy Story,” showing Buzz in his early days when he put on the iconic purple and green spacesuit.Buzz about the lack of Allen’s participation in the movie has caused a stir, with his friend Patricia Heaton recently calling out Disney for replacing Allen with Evans, 41.The “Everybody Loves Raymond” star wrote on Twitter earlier this month: “Saw the trailer for Buzz Lightyear and all I can say is Disney/Pixar made a HUGE mistake in not casting my pal Tim Allen in the role that he originated, the role that he owns.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticIn his new Amazon series “The Terminal List,” actor Chris Pratt is built like a brick wall, and has about half as much charisma. His character, James Reece, is on a Charles Bronson-esque mission of revenge against the forces that ambushed his Navy SEAL platoon in the field and, back home, irrevocably altered his family life (with his wife played, mainly in flashback, by a wildly overqualified Riley Keough, and his daughter by Arlo Mertz).

Chris Hemsworth's eight-year-old son - quite literally - follows in his father's footsteps in Thor: Love and Thunder. Tristan Hemsworth is seen in the opening moments of the film's trailer as he runs through the woods in a montage showing Thor growing from a child to an adult. The sequence begins with Tristan dashing past trees, then cuts to a teenage Thor and finishes with Chris himself, highlighting the evolution of the God of Thunder.

Chris Pratt is really opening up after the past couple years of getting bashed on the internet. He’s been voted the Worst Chris, he’s been trashed for being homophobic despite never saying anything… but the deepest cut was an attack on his love for his son.

scandal-ridden institution notorious for alleged anti-LGBTQ views and gay conversion therapy among other high-profile controversies.Pratt, 43, denied the allegations during an interview with Men’s Health for its June cover story, saying that he has never been to the church nor does he know anyone from the house of worship, which once attracted the likes of Justin Bieber.“I never went to Hillsong,” said the “Jurassic World” star, who has been the subject of several controversies in the past months.“I’ve never actually been to Hillsong. I don’t know anyone from that church.”In 2019, “Umbrella Academy” star Elliot Page was one of the first people to slam Pratt over his supposed ties to Hillsong after the “Avenger” star appeared on Stephen Colbert to talk about his faith. “If you are a famous actor and you belong to an organization that hates a certain group of people, don’t be surprised if someone simply wonders why it’s not addressed,” tweeted the actor, who came out as a trans man in 2020.

Chris Pratt has insisted he has never been to Hillsong three years after Elliot Page accused him of attending an ‘infamously anti-LGBTQ+’ church. The Terminal List star, who actually no longer wants to be referred to by his first name, asserted that he has no connections to Hillsong as he shed light on his religious beliefs. ‘I never went to Hillsong,’ Pratt said.

Chris Pratt has revealed he actually doesn’t like being called by his name Chris, and even says it’s not his name. Instead, the Jurassic World actor, whose full name is really Christopher Michael Pratt, prefers to be called by his nicknames, including Pratt and CP.

“I never went to Hillsong,” Chris Pratt says of the controversial church in a Men’s Health cover story published today. “I’ve never actually been to Hillsong. I don’t know anyone from that church.”

Chris Pratt is setting the record straight.  In an interview for Men’s Health July/August cover story, Pratt, 43, clarified that he’s "not a religious person" and has never attended Hillsong Church. Over the years, the actor has faced criticism for being associated with religion. In 2019, the "Guardians of the Galaxy" star was tied to Hillsong Church, which has been accused of being anti-LGBTQ+.

Chris Pratt is opening up after receiving backlash online. The Marvel actor, 43, spoke out about the social media frenzy that occurred after he praised his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger in an Instagram post that mentioned their "healthy daughter." "[Ignoring Twitter comments is] a lesson I’ve learned. It’s not a lesson that my son has learned yet," Pratt shared with Men’s Health for their July/August cover.
