AceShowbiz - Chris Pratt opened up about his struggling past in the July issue of The Red Bulletin. The "Jurassic World" actor confessed that he once worked as an amateur stripper.
The 35-year-old actor dropped out of college in his first semester. Since then, he sought a job that could support himself. His job as a discount ticket agent was short-lived which led him to work as a stripper. He dubbed himself a "cheap Magic Mike" because he was paid forty dollars for each performance. Moreover, he performed at a birthday of his friend's grandmother.
Back in 2013, Pratt admitted that he was a free person who liked to go naked. "I was always a very much naked person. I loved to always get naked," the hunky actor said. "I was very free, so I thought, 'I may as well get paid.' "
In addition to admitting his past as a stripper, the "Guardians of the Galaxy" admitted that his career in Hollywood didn't go smoothly. He once auditioned for "Avatar" but didn't get a call. "That's just one of the movies I auditioned for and didn't get. I wasn't getting any parts. None! I tried for almost every movie you didn't see me in," he told the magazine.
Pratt is currently busy promoting the highly-anticipated "Jurassic World" which will be released in the U.S. on June 12. Besides Anna Faris' husband, the film stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Irrfan Khan, Vincent D'Onofrio, Ty Simpkins and Nick Robinson.
