There are a lot of people named Chris in Hollywood, and the debate continues over which one is actually the best.

The debate reignited over the weekend when filmmaker Amy Berg asked Twitter to name the worst Chris in Hollywood -- between Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Chris Pine and Chris Evans -- saying "one has to go" among them.

Taking a look at the viral post's replies, it seems Pratt won the poll. Some said they disliked him because of his religious and political affiliations, which didn't sit well with a few of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" star's famous co-stars.

Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr., who starred alongside Pratt in 2018's "Avengers: Infinity War" and 2019's "Avengers: Endgame," not only slammed the poll, but shamed fans for participating in such a negative conversation.

"You all, @prattprattpratt is as solid a man there is," Ruffalo tweeted Tuesday. "I know him personally, and instead of casting aspersions, look at how he lives his life. He is just not overtly political as a rule."

The actor behind Hulk then reminded fans that they should be focusing on the upcoming election instead, calling the discourse a "distraction."

Downey Jr. took to Instagram Tuesday to defend Pratt's honor: "What a world... The 'sinless' are casting stones at my brother, Chris Pratt... A real Christian who lives by principle, has never demonstrated anything but positivity and gratitude."

The "Iron Man" star then challenged Pratt's haters, "If you take issue with Chris... I’ve got a novel idea. Delete your social media accounts, sit with your OWN defects of character, work on THEM, then celebrate your humanness."

Pratt has yet to respond to the ongoing debate.
