Anna Faris teases joining Real Housewives cast nearly seven years after Chris Pratt divorce
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.
'But it would be really fun to play a character on a reality show.'
But if push comes to shove, she revealed to the weekly that she 'would totally take the phone call' from Cohen if ever asked to join the show and especially if it was for The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.
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.

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'
'He's always had such a solid anchor,' she said in another interview with People. 'I don't know where, being a kid in Hollywood, he got that.'
She added, 'I don't know how he got so down-to-earth, but I'm really grateful.'
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 deadly 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.

On top of the loss of the home she shares with her son, Jack's school was also destroyed, Pratt reported an Instagram video at the time.
'It's surreal and has been tough, [but] we feel fortunate because we're safe,' Faris explained to Us, before adding, 'I'm really grateful to be working.'
In addition to the cleaning campaign with Scrubbing Bubbles, Faris has also been able to focus on her work shooting the upcoming comedy film Spa Weekend, alongside co-stars Leslie Mann, Isla Fisher, and Michelle Buteau.
Her other new roles include a voice spot in the animated comedy film Toy Story 5, starring Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, and the live-action animated film I, Object that features Karl Urban, Jemaine Clement, and Skywalker Hughes.
Faris, a Baltimore, Maryland native, had her breakout role when she starred in the horror-comedy parody film Scary Movie (2000).
She went on to appear in the next three sequels in the film franchise through 2006.
Her other notable roles include The Hot Chick (2002, Lost In Translation (2003), Brokeback Mountain (2005), Just Friends (2005, My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006), Smiley Face (2007), The House Bunny (2008), What's Your Number? (2011), The Dictator (2012), and Overboard (2018), along with her eight season run in the hit CBS sitcom Mom (2013-2021).

Chad Michael Murray embraces his teen heartthrob legacy: ‘It's a blessing'
The American actor, 43, rose to fame in the early 2000s, appearing in TV series such as Gilmore Girls and Dawson's Creek, before landing the lead role in the teenage drama series One Tree Hill. Murray, who also starred in the 2003 comedy film Freaky Friday alongside Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, gained a reputation as a heartthrob among teenage girls during this era. The father–of-three, who is reprising his role as Jake, Lohan's character Anna's former love interest, in Freakier Friday, says he feels very fortunate to have had such an impact on a generation. 'I'm very, very blessed, very fortunate and lucky to be a part of a lot of really great movies and great stories that have affected a generation,' Murray told the PA news agency. 'That's really the only reason to be an actor for me. I just wanted to make people happy.' Murray, who grew up in a single father household in Buffalo, New York, says he moved to Hollywood, when he was 18 years old to pursue a career in acting. 'I think I moved there in September 1999 and I was with Warner Brothers by January 2000,' he said. Freakier Friday sees Lohan and Curtis return to their roles as mother and daughter, 22 years after the first film was released. The 2003 film saw Tess Coleman (Curtis) and musician Anna (Lohan) trade places, after reading fortune cookies at a Chinese restaurant. The story picks up with Lohan's character, Anna, now a mother to a teenage daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepmother. In the sequel, Anna's daughter Harper, played by Julia Butters and her soon-to-be stepdaughter Lily Davies, portrayed by Sophia Hammons, join Anna and her mother Tess in a wild, quadruple body swap. Reflecting on returning for the sequel, Murray said they had to work out how his character would realistically fit into the updated story. 'It's a house of cards, you move one piece and the whole thing kind of crashes down with four people switching bodies. So we had to be really careful and deliberate with the choices we made,' he said. 'I went straight into analytics mode. We had to flesh out who Jake has been over the last 22 years. What's he been up to? Where's he gone? What's the funniest choice here? And that's where we went. Then it just became exciting from there.' Murray added: 'My joking sales pitch for this film has been, this movie will make you live longer as it reduces cortisol levels. 'If this is the type of content I do for the rest of my life as an actor I'm done, I'm happy, I'm in.' The 2003 film was based on the 1972 novel by Mary Rodgers, which was previously turned into a 1976 movie starring Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris. Freakier Friday opens in UK cinemas on Friday, August 8.

Katy Perry set to be grilled about Chris Pratt in court
Katy Perry is set to appear in court concerning the rumours that she rented out her $15million (£11.3m) Santa Barbara mansion to Chris Pratt. The I Kissed A Girl singer, 40, has been facing legal issues for the past two years since she and her former fiancé, Orlando Bloom, purchased a home in Santa Barbara. The singer and her business manager, Bernie Gudvi, are facing a lawsuit from the previous owner, Carl Westcott, who sold the property to the singer in 2020. Westcott is the founder of 1-800 Flowers, and claimed that he was not o sound mind when he agreed to sell the property, just two months after purchasing it. UsWeekly has now revealed that in a new twist in the tale, Perry is set to be questioned about a June report that claimed Pratt and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, moved into the 9,285 square-foot estate. The Jurassic World actor and his wife are reportedly renting the property from Perry, along with their three young children and Pratt's son Jack from his previous marriage to Anna Faris. Westcott, who suffers from Huntington's disease, had originally purchased the property in May 2020, just two months before selling the property to Perry. Westcott – who was 80 years old at the time – claimed that the sale of the home was done when he 'lacked the mental capacity to understand the nature and probable consequences of the contract.' The first phase of the trial began in November 2023 and ended in 2024 with the judge siding with Perry, agreeing that the singer was the rightful owner and the deed was transferred to her name. According to People, the Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Joseph Lipner said at the time: 'Westcott presented no persuasive evidence that he lacked capacity to enter into a real estate contract.' Speaking to the New York Post, Westcott's son, Chart, said: 'Where the judge's ruling may follow the letter of the law, it shows that the law has no spirit. 'Katy Perry will now have to testify, in person, to receive her 'damages'. We look forward to her testimony. 'We hope Ms. Perry enjoys her pyrrhic victory. Lastly, we wish the judge had spelled our father's name correctly.' More Trending Apparently, after the sale, Perry and Bloom had written a personal letter to Westcott in which they thanked him for selling them the home. They allegedly said that they hoped to bring up their then-unborn daughter, something Westcott's son said was at odds with her claim for list rentals on the property. The trial date comes a month after the couple announced their split. In a joint statement issued to US media outlets in July, representatives for the couple said the pair 'have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting'. 'They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is – and always will be – raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect,' it continued. In the past few days, Perry has been filmed enjoying a cosy dinner with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Got a story?
