AceShowbiz - Chris Pratt has strong opinions against Hollywood actors who show bad attitudes on set. During a panel at New York Comic Con for his upcoming Netflix film "The Electric State," Pratt emphasized the importance of positive energy in the moviemaking industry.
"Look, these guys can attest to this, because they're the same way, like, there's no room for s***ty attitudes there," Pratt declared, as reported by People. "You can't have a bad attitude in moviemaking, it ruins everything for everyone, and then you don't last long."
Pratt's comments reflect his frustration with peers who fail to appreciate the opportunities they've been given. "It sucks when people have a crappy attitude," he continued. "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."
Despite Pratt's strong words directed at unnamed individuals, he made a point to praise his "Electric State" co-star, Millie Bobby Brown. "She's just incredible," Pratt said of the "Stranger Things" actress.
"She was surrounded by all these animals... 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 organizing 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."
Pratt and Brown reportedly bonded deeply over the course of filming. "We became fast friends," Pratt noted. "And you can't get rid of me, sorry," he joked to Brown.
"The Electric State" is based on Simon Stålenhag's graphic novel and features an ensemble cast including Ke Huy Quan, Stanley Tucci, and Giancarlo Esposito. Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, the film will be available on Netflix in March 2025.
The story follows Brown's character, an orphaned teenager named Michelle, who traverses a dystopian world alongside a mysterious robot as she searches for her presumed-dead brother.
Pratt's candid remarks and high praise for his co-star Brown set expectations high for the film, painting a picture of both his professional ethos and the camaraderie that can thrive on a well-run set.
