Chris Pratt believed to be dealing with toe fungus as celeb doctor examines actor’s social media pic
Chris Pratt’s icky TOE is raising concern among doctors after he shared a close-up on Instagram
A doctor says a photo actor Chris Pratt posted of his little finger on social media shows symptoms of a toe fungus.
The 43-year-old Minnesota native posted the photo to Instagram on Tuesday, jokingly captioning the “Met Gala Look,” following last week’s fashion extravaganza in New York City.
The post from Super Mario Bros. Movie star was judged by Dr. Brad Schaeffer of the TLC series My Feet Are Killing Me, who narrated TMZ that the actor is probably dealing with a fungus and should be examined by a doctor or podiatrist.
“Chris Pratt has an interesting case of tinea unguium and I know that sounds crazy, but at the end of the day it’s just straight toenail fungus,” Schaeffer said.
He added that the problem was “not too serious,” “not life-threatening,” and “could be fixed fairly easily and quickly.”

Schaeffer added, “What he needs to do is get it checked by people like me…. podiatrists.’
The Guardians Of The Galaxy protagonist received some mixed reactions in the comment thread from fans of the Marvel franchise.
“Spoiler alert – Starlord’s toenail dies in part 3,” one fan wrote, referring to the actor’s character in the movie, while another asked, “Is this Groot?”
One fan commented, “You make way too much money walking around like that.”

Celebrities participating in the post — which had more than 409,000 likes — included Pratt’s mother-in-law Maria Shriver, who asked, “What’s this?”
Adam Scott, Pratt’s former Parks and Recreation costar, wrote “GORGEOUS” with glitter and star face emojis.
The Mayo Clinic says that “nail fungus is a common infection of the nail,” which “starts as a white or yellow-brown spot under the tip of your fingernail or toenail.”
“As the fungal infection goes deeper, the nail can become discolored, thicken and crumble at the edge.”
The clinic said it “may affect several nails” and recur after treatment.
