Recently, Chris Pratt (Lego Movie, Parks and Rec) came clean about stealing his Starlord suit from the set of Guardians of the Galaxy. However, Pratt did it for good reason. The latest Marvel hero promised to visit sick kids in the hospital as Starlord, and he has now made good on his promise.
Chris Pratt recently spoke to Panzer TV about stealing his Guardians of The Galaxy costume, to practice some real world heroics. (via Huffington Post):
"I stole the jacket and some of the wardrobe so that, if this movie comes out and does what everyone hopes it can, I can follow the example of someone -- say, like, a Russell Wilson, you know -- and go visit kids...If it was a big enough movie, to where it would mean something to a kid who’s sick in the hospital for Peter Quill or Star-Lord to come visit them, I’ll do that. I think that’s awesome, man. That would give me real meaning for this movie, you know? Right now, it means high profile, cool jobs coming up, big press tour, and all the excitement of it all. But none of that really means anything. The coolest things would be that my son can one day see this and that maybe I can go affect some kids in a positive way, [and] be a good role model for them."
Now Pratt has made good on his promise. Pratt recently visited patients at the Children’s Hospital in L.A.
Children’s Hospital L.A. tweeted a picture of Pratt cheering up a patient along with the message:
“Star Lord (@prattprattpratt) cheered up our patients by sharing #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy! Thanks for making them smile!”
