Chris Pratt revealed he opened up about his early days in the industry by revealing he almost had a different name.
The 46-year-old actor said he once seriously thought about going with Christo, a nickname he received while working at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company in Maui.
The last few letters had been erased from his name tag, so it just said Christo and everyone at work started calling him that.
He told the story in Happy Sad Confused podcast with Josh Horowitz.
Pratt said the nickname stuck with him for a while and he even considered keeping it when he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his acting dreams.
In the end, the Jurassic World The actor kept his real name as his first role came in 2000 in a short film called Cursed Part 3 after director Rae Dawn Chong saw him at the restaurant.
Pratt also spoke about artificial intelligence in movies where he criticized AI actress Tilly Norwood, saying he doesn’t believe machines can replace real actors.
However, he called it false and said that human talent will always matter, no matter what.
While Tilly creator Eline van der Velden defended herself by saying that AI was made for creative tools like puppetry or animation, a new way of exploring stories without replacing real artists.
