On a recent afternoon on a Universal soundstage, Chris Pratt was regaling a group of journalists with a story about elk hunting. Suddenly, a gust of air blew through the room, toppling a giant fake plant onto a similarly giant speaker before both careened toward one unlucky reporter.
Everyone gasped but stayed in their seats. Everyone, except Pratt, who sprang from his chair with a gravely serious expression, ready to help however he could.
There wasn't much that needed doing in this case. The perennial goofball turned leading man wasn't merely a hero on screen. Apparently, he has the right stuff in reality, too.
"That's who he is. He takes responsibility for the well-being of those around him," said Pratt's "Jurassic World" co-star Bryce Dallas Howard.??
