Even though "Take Me Home Tonight" wasn't released until 2011, the Michael Dowse comedy started filming in February 2007. It was on that set where Anna Faris and Chris Pratt first met. At the time, Faris was still married to Ben Indra, from whom she filed for divorce in April 2007. Pratt felt attracted to Faris right away, but he went out of his way to show her he wasn't going to act on it by oversharing about his sex life, he told Esquire in 2014. She didn't care. Over the weeks, the actors became close.
And when Faris told Pratt she was separating from Indra, he knew he wanted to become her husband. In February 2008 — after three years of marriage and a year into her new relationship — Faris finalized her divorce from Indra. Faris also met Indra through work. The two co-starred in the 1999 slasher "Lover's Lane" and started dating shortly after. In 2000, Faris shot to fame with the release of "Scary Movie," which strained her marriage. "That kind of destroyed my marriage," she told Marie Claire in 2011. "The divide became too great.
While her feelings for Indra started waning before 2007, meeting Pratt gave her the motivation to put an end to it. "If I hadn't met Chris, my first marriage probably would have lasted until I found a different someone. Chris was my cattle prod," Faris revealed in her 2017 memoir, "Unqualified."
