Chris Pratt is a good sport.
While promoting his new movie Jurassic World, the 35-year-old actor agreed to do an interview with Smosh's Ian Hecox. What he didn't know, though, was that Hecox's partner Anthony Padilla was instructing him to do things from another room via an earpiece. "Shake his hand and keep shaking his hand," Padilla said.
Hecox did as he was told as Pratt asked for a water bottle.
"Can you drink it like your tongue's a straw?" Padilla asked Hecox, who repeated the question to Pratt. "Can you do that?" The actor laughed, saying, "It looks cool."
Hecox then purposefully spilled water all over himself.
"Ask him if he can recreate Jeff Goldblum's laugh from the movie," Padilla told Hecox. He once again followed orders and showed Pratt a clip of Goldblum on his iPhone. To his surprise, Pratt pulled the impression off seamlessly!
"Did you know that your name kind of sounds like 'crisp rat?'" Hecox asked.
"Oh, I heard that before," Pratt said.
"You've heard that before?" Hecox asked. Pratt replied, "Yeah, it's crazy, right?"
"No!" Hecox said. "I thought it was clever!"
"No, you are clever. Everyone who's said that to me I thought is clever," Pratt said.
"Do you usually give them, like, a fake laugh so they feel good about themselves?" Hecox wondered. Pratt said "no" and laughed. "What do you usually do when they say that?" Hecox asked. "Do you just, like, stare at them, or...?"
Cue the awkward stare.
Padilla then instructed his partner to water the trees. "Gotta give some to the plants, you know?" Hecox said. Pratt told him, "That is not a real plant."
Hecox shrugged, saying, "Pour one out for the homies, you know?"
Padilla asked Hecox to ask Pratt "for a really personal favor." That was an understatement, as Hecox asked Pratt to "call my mom and tell her I have herpes." Pratt replied, "She doesn't need to know that."
"She does," Hecox insisted.
Pratt called Hecox's mom, but went to voicemail, so he left a message. "Hi, Sharon, this is Chris Pratt calling. How ya doing? Listen, I'm sitting here with your son Ian and he's contracted a venereal disease. Anyway, he thinks maybe he could have kissed you and he wants to make sure that if you're showing any symptoms that you'll know what that's from. Although, I don't know why kissing you would transmit to you genital herpes, but OK. Anyway, this is Dr. Chris Pratt. Call your son back and we'll talk then. Bye!"
Hecox said, "I feel like a heavy herpes weight has been lifted off my shoulders."
Pratt riffed off his joke, saying, "And right onto my mom!"
Padilla told Hecox to "tell him a story about one times your nipples produced milk."
"I don't know if you would have done the same, but I drank some. I had to know. Is that weird?" Hecox asked Pratt. "Like if your nipples produced milk would you try your own nipple milk?" After pausing for a moment, Pratt admitted, "I'd smell it."
Hecox then showed Pratt his workout routine, which included a move called the "butt buster." While it was clearly meant to be a joke, the famously fit movie star ended up giving him a few helpful pointers.
Padilla then asked Hecox to "take a selfie with him and tell him you're going to put it on you Tinder."
Pratt was confused at first, telling Hecox, "Oh! Tinder! I thought you send tender. You want to put it on your tender. I thought it was like a new term for your penis. I thought you wanted to take a photo and then put it on your penis, which I was comfortable with."
Finally, Hecox asked to have "just a sip" of Pratt's water.
The actor agreed, and Hecox proceeded to chug it.
After the video was published Tuesday, Pratt tweeted about the odd interview, writing, "Always be kind to strangers. They may be angels in disguise. Or maybe guys pranking you for their YouTube channel."
