By now you’ve probably seen Pratt’s cover photo for ET’s upcoming “summer must list” issue that was clearly influenced by a few different factors. Pratt’s starring role undoubtedly landed him the cover spot, but the theme of the photoshoot bears the editorial touch of one Henry Goldblatt, EW’s openly gay, recently reinstated editor.
