Chris Pratt and Anna Faris were "meant to be" together.
The 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star, who has been married to the 'Scary Movie' actress for five years, says their lives were "strangely similar" before they first met.
The 35-year-old actor told E! News: "We're both from the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. I grew up 20 minutes from her. I played football on her high school field."
He added: "There are many, many similarities to our lives. It's one of those things that makes you realise things are meant to be and they're working out the way they're supposed to."
The couple, who have two-year-old son Jack, also have very similar personalities, and Chris thinks it's one of the secrets to their happy marriage.
He explained: "A lot of times if you date somebody or are married to somebody that's really similar to yourself, it doesn't work, but for us it does work because we both happen to be completely in love with ourselves."
He jokingly added: "When I look into her eyes and see my own, it just makes me love her even more."

Sadie Frost's divorce from Jude Law was "incredibly stressful and destructive".
The 49-year-old star, who split from the Hollywood actor after six years of marriage in 2003, likens divorce to a "mini-personal war" in her upcoming wellbeing book, 'Nourish', but despite the pain of her separation, she admits it feels like a "million years away" now.
The actress - who starred opposite Jude in 2000 gangster movie 'Love, Honour and Obey' - writes: "[Divorce] can be incredibly stressful and destructive.
"Sometimes it becomes a mini-personal war in which no one is the winner apart from the lawyers."
When asked if that was her experience with Jude, she told The Times newspaper: "It's also a lot of my friends' experiences. My divorce feels like a million years away, but [yes], I guess that it's the experience for most people going through a divorce.
"Is there any such thing as a good divorce? Well, if people aren't supposed to be together and their relationship isn't working, then the right thing to do is get divorced and try not to make it messy."
While Sadie - who has three children, Rafferty, 17, Iris, 13, and 12-year-old Rudy with Jude - didn't enjoy the experience of separating from the actor, she has a good relationship with the 41-year-old star nowadays.
She added: "Time ... is a healer."

Kelis hates milkshakes.
The 35-year-old singer, who had a hit with her 2003 song 'Milkshake' - which she previously revealed is a metaphor for "something that makes women special" - has admitted she isn't actually a fan of the calorific beverages and never drinks them.
When asked what her favourite flavour of the tasty treats is, she replied: "Funnily, enough I don't actually drink milkshakes."
The star admits she is keen to open a restaurant chain in the near future and while the eatery is unlikely to be stocked full of milkshakes, she has a line of signature sauces, Feast, which could go well in the establishment.
Speaking before her recent performance at Harman IFA in Berlin, she added: "I would love to open a restaurant in the near future.
"My current sauce line Feast will be coming out this winter. A lot of various food related goals in the upcoming year. I'm excited to see what's to come!"
One thing Kelis has already ticked off her to do list this year was performing at Glastonbury festival in Somerset, south west England, as she took to the stage at this year's spectacle to perform a greatest hits set, and the star had a superb time at the iconic event.
She said: "Glastonbury is an incredible festival, so being able to play this year was very special."

Shia LaBeouf is to take part in a performance art installation later this week.
The 'Transformers' actor will participate in '#Metamarathon' at modern and contemporary art museum Stedelijik in Amsterdam, he revealed on twitter.
He wrote: "#METAMARATHON at the @Stedelijk Amsterdam 09.25.14.(sic)"
The museum responded to the 27-year-old actor's posting, writing: "It's happening", before giving out further details of the performance.
They said: "Shia LaBeouf will embark upon a metamarathon around the perimeter of the Stedelijk Museum. Visitors are invited to participate. Running shoes optional. Starts at 2:00 p.m."
Although Shia hasn't fully explained what the installation will entail, he has recently been pictured in neon running clothes and documenting his exercise regime on Twitter via the Nike+ app.
And at the weekend, he made a cryptic posting about the definition of the word 'run'.
He wrote: "RUN: to move swiftly on foot; to PROCESS or execute a PROGRAM or instruction; an unbroken series of PERFORMANCES (sic)"
Earlier this year, the troubled actor took part in another art installation in Los Angeles.
Days after arriving at the Berlin premiere of his film 'Nymphomaniac' with a paper bag on his head bearing the words 'I am not famous anymore', Shia held a free exhibition called #IAMSORRY in which he wore the bag and sat in silence opposite fans, reportedly frequently appearing tearful.

Bruce Jenner has splashed out $50,000 on a race car.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star - whose estranged wife Kris Jenner filed for divorce yesterday (22.09.14) - is a keen racing fan and made an "impulse purchase" from NASCAR star Robby Gordon at the Sand Sports Super Show in Orange County yesterday.
According to website TMZ, the former Olympian plans to debut his new vehicle at the Griffin King of the Hammers race in Johnson Valley, California, in February with his sons Burt and Brandon.
As well as purchasing the car yesterday, Bruce was also busy filing his response to Kris's divorce petition, which he submitted just a few hours after the showbiz matriarch entered in her legal documents.
Bruce asked a judge to agree to the same terms set out by Kris, including that they have joint physical and legal custody of their youngest daughter Kylie, 17.
Like, Kris, Bruce asked for his own "jewellery and other personal effects," and "earnings and accumulations...from and after the date of separation".
According to RadarOnline.com, Bruce doesn't want to pay spousal support, which is also in line with Kris' petition, which asked the judge to bar the court from awarding spousal support.
The couple announced they had split last October, but the court documents state they separated on June 1 2013.

Robin Williams' daughter has thanked fans for their support following his death.
Zelda Williams - who briefly quit Twitter after receiving abusive messages following her father's suicide last month - has been touched to receive letters and stories from people who have experienced similar tragedies and finds it inspiring to hear how they have been able to move on from their losses.
She wrote: "I just want to say thank you for all the stories and letters I've been receiving, especially from those who've also lost loved ones.
"I don't come online often, but reading of others who have dealt with this loss & gone on to live happy, full lives is helpful. Truly.(sic)"
The 25-year-old actress then retweeted a picture of her father singing alongside 'Sesame Street's two-headed monster.
She wrote alongside a smiley face: "Bearded sing off."
Zelda returned to social media at the beginning of September after a three-week break.
She posted a link to her tumblr page of a quote from Harvey Fierstein - who played Frank Hillard alongside Robin in 'Mrs. Doubtfire - which read: "Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself."
Alongside the link, she simply wrote. "Thank you."
Zelda announced she was quitting Twitter on August 13 after two users sent her Photoshopped pictures of her father, just days after he hung himself at his home.
She wrote: "Please report @PimpStory @MrGoosebuster. I'm shaking. I can't. Please. Twitter requires a link and I won't open it. Don't either. Please."
She added moments later: "I'm sorry. I should've risen above. Deleting this from my devices for a good long time, maybe forever. Time will tell. Goodbye."

Courteney Cox got engaged at Jennifer Aniston's house.
The 'Cougar Town' star agreed to marry Snow Patrol star Johnny McDaid in June and he was forced to hastily arrange his proposal as he wanted to involve her 10-year-old daughter Coco - whose father is the actress' ex-husband David Arquette - but the youngster was going away to camp.
Courteney explained: "Johnny first asked Coco. He said, 'I'd like to marry your mom,' and gave her a little diamond ring. She said, 'Great, I'm going to camp tomorrow. Let's do it right now.'
"So, they decided they wanted to do it that night because we were leaving for Turks and Caicos and she was going to camp. "We went to Jen's house for dinner because it was Coco's birthday and she was godmom.
"They made a plan to count down from three and when they got to one, he was gonna get down on his knee and say, 'Will you marry me?' and she was gonna say, 'Will you marry him?' They planned it out. They found the perfect tree that branches that led to one trunk. It was just beautiful."
However, the 50-year-old actress admits her "bored" daughter kept trying to rush Johnny, 38, into popping the question.
Speaking to TV talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, she added: "No one knew this was going to happen because it was just a dinner for, essentially, me and Coco. Coco got a little bored, as she does, and right after we were at the bar having a drink, she said, 'Three!' Johnny's like, 'No, not now!' So she's like, 'All right'.
"So, then we go to dinner and there's a salad course or whatever and she's like, 'Oh, my God!' and hits the salad glass, 'Three!' She kept jumping the gun. Finally she waited until after dinner. She was literally about to fall asleep."
