Anna Faris, 48, teases joining Real Housewives cast nearly seven years after Chris Pratt divorce

 Anna Faris has considered joining the Real Housewives franchise.

The 48-year-old actress – who was previously married to Chris Pratt –  revealed that she would ‘take the call’ if Bravo boss Andy Cohen approached her to join the highly-popular reality franchise.

Anna told Us Weekly recently: ‘I was thinking the other day if I would make a good Real Housewife.

‘I think I’m way too boring. I don’t know if I’m too nice. I really think I would wear everything on my sleeve. I think I would blurt out all the time … I don’t know if I would put on the whole pretense of ‘there’s no cameras.’ I don’t know. I don’t know.’

As she has acted professionally for nearly 30 years, she questioned if she could actually be herself in front of the camera for the sake of reality television drama.

She explained: ‘I feel like, fundamentally, I can be pretty quiet and reserved in my own skin.

However, she questioned her ability to hang on-screen with the likes of Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Denise Richards, and Erika Girardi as she said: ‘But they’re so advanced.

‘That’s like going to graduate school when you’re a freshman.’

This comes just a month after Anna made some rare comments about the 12-year-old son, Jack, whom she shares with ex Pratt. 

‘He’s handled the situation with the fires well,’ the Mom alum told Us Weekly last month regarding how her child handled losing their home during the LA fires earlier this year.

‘I really appreciate that,’ added the star.

While speaking during the push to promote her partnership with the bathroom cleaner Scrubbing Bubbles, the actress went on to reveal that she feels ‘so lucky’ to have Jack at her side.

Faris and Pratt, 45, separated in 2017 and eventually finalized their divorce the following year after being married since 2009.

Despite ending their romantic relationship the former couple have tried to remain close as co-parents for the benefit of their son, who they welcomed in August 2012.

They have both moved on and have gotten married again: Faris tied-the-knot with cinematographer Michael Barrett in 2021, while Pratt wed Katherine Schwarzenegger in 2019, and have since welcomed three children of their own.

But, just some two months ago, their blended family lives turned tense and scary when they were forced to evacuate their homes in their respective Pacific Palisades neighborhoods in Los Angeles as the ᴅᴇᴀᴅly fire tore through the area in January.

In the end, Pratt’s home with Schwarzenegger was spared, however, Faris’ house was left in a pile of rubble.

In fact, the Scary Movie star’s residence turned out to be one of 18,000 homes and structures that burned in the L.A. wildfires, which mainly comprised of the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire. 

This comes just a month after Anna made some rare comments about the 12-year-old son, Jack, whom she shares with ex Pratt; the former couple are seen with their son in April 2017
