The Guardians of the Galaxy actor has apologized for his poor choice of words.
"I have people in my life who are hearing-impaired, and the last thing in the world I would want to do is offend them."
That’s what Chris Pratt said after receiving backlash for being “incredibly insensitive” to deaf and hearing-impaired people.
In a Facebook video that has since been taken down – reportedly from the Marvel Facebook page – the actor innocently encouraged viewers to “turn up the volume and not just ‘read the subtitles'”.
Posting a new video to his own Instagram, Pratt made a formal apology in American Sign Language, while writing on the caption that he was “incredibly insensitive to the many folks out there who depend on subtitles”.
