Have you seen the before & after pictures of Bert Macklin Chris Pratt?

The “before” is when he had to get in great shape for Zero Dark Thirty. But then he immediately had to pack on the pounds for another movie, hence the “after” photo.

Whether you’re in before or after shape, hummus is always a yummus choice!
