Los Angeles, Aug 23

Hollywood actress Anna Faris has shed light on the "long conversations" that she had with her teenage son. The actress has shared that the conversations involve religion, abortion and hypocrisy within the church.

She also said that her son has asked her to accept Jesus Christ. The actress, 49, recently appeared on Chelsea Handler's 'Dear Chelsea' podcast, and discussed the beliefs of her 14-year-old son, Jack, whom she shares with former husband Chris Pratt, 47.

Anna told the show host, "(I) didn't grow up with religion". She said he has asked her to accept Jesus Christ.

The actress said that she tries to "challenge" him and shared that it would take a "whole lot of long conversations" before she became religious.

She also spoke about their discussions that include Christian attitudes to abortion, as she said, "I'm like, 'Do you think it's a luxury that you get to be pro-life? Do you think that's kind of a luxury?' He's like, 'Maybe'".

The actress said she had also questioned him about wealthy religious figures. She shared, "Or I'll say, 'So what do you think of this mega-pastor that's kind of a grifter? What do you think?' He's like, 'Oh, megapastors are the worst'".

The actress said she welcomed Jack's willingness to question aspects of religion despite their differing backgrounds.

The actress shares Jack with Chris, who she married in 2009. They announced their separation in 2017 and finalised their divorce the following year. She later married cinematographer Michael Barrett, while Chris married Katherine Schwarzenegger, with whom he has three children. Chris is known for playing Andy Dwyer in Parks and Recreation and Peter Quill, or Star-Lord, in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy films, has repeatedly discussed his Christian faith publicly.
