Says he doesn't want to be called Chris, wants to be called Pratt - is this not an insult in the US? In the UK it means basically an idiot.

I’m in America and I’ve never heard a “prat” used at all let alone as a pejorative. You folks in the UK use some words that have no corollary in the U.S. though. Nonchalant use of the word “c*nt” in the UK would never fly in the U.S. as you can tell from my nervous use of the asterisk. Never hear bellend or pillocks here either and my iPhone tried to correct them in this post.
shareAmericans say cunt all the time, but not in the chummy way the Brits do.
shareIn England, the word is censored in magazines (even rock/metal ones like Kerrang and Metal Hammer).
shareAt least that's a variation on his name....Walt Jr. wanted to be called Flynn and there's no explanation as to how the hell he came up with that unless he wanted to be associated with a movie star from the 1930s and 40s who liked underage girls.
shareWell, I know here in the US a "pratfall" is considered an embarrassing and humiliating act. I can see that being used if he sticks with this.
