Chris Pratt isn’t a fan of every actor he’s worked with.
The Jurassic World star, 45, unloaded on other celebrities who have been difficult to work with on movie sets at New York Comic-Con panel for his upcoming Netflix sci-fi film, The Electric State.
“Look, these guys can attest to this, because they’re the same way, like, there’s no room for s****y attitudes there,” Pratt said on stage alongside co-star Millie Bobby Brown and directors Joe and Anthony Russo, per New York Post.
“You can’t have a bad attitude in movie-making, it ruins everything for everyone, and then you don’t last long,” he added.
Pratt went on, “It sucks when people have a crappy attitude. So when you show up on set, there’s no reason why you should… Like, ‘Oh, are you having a hard time living your dream? Is that tough for you today?’ Like, come on and pull your head out.”
But in the case of The Electric State, Pratt said he had a great time working with Brown, 20, whom he called “incredible.”
“She was surrounded by all these animals,” said Pratt, who was joined in the film by Brown, Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Giancarlo Esposito and Stanley Tucci.
“She’s like, they would yell cut and she’d go to her home and she’s finding a home for, like some pygmy goat to be adopted and organising a U-Haul full of pit bull puppies to be taken to Indiana. Like she has such a huge heart, such a love for animals,” the Guardians of the Galaxy star added.
“And so we had a great time. We became fast friends, and you can’t get rid of me. Sorry.”
The Electric State is based on the Simon Stålenhag’s 2018 graphic novel. The movie is set in an alternate 1994 and follow a young girl who is joined by a robot on her search for her missing brother.
Brown said during the panel that she knew she wanted to star in the project as soon as she read the script.
“I just trusted my gut, read it, and immediately fell in love with the show,” she explained. “The fact that the Russos were attached just made me so excited.”
The Stranger Things star also said she felt an immediate connection to Pratt when she saw him on-set for the first time.
“He walked onto the set, and he’s like, ‘Hey!’ As if he’s known me my whole life,” she recalled.
The Electric State comes out March 14 on Netflix.
