Actor
Chris Pratt has revealed that '
Avengers
' star
Robert Downey Jr. had called him to congratulate on his casting for the '
Guardians of the Galaxy
'.
Pratt played the role of Peter Quill aka Star Lord in the James Gunn-directed 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and later followed it up with 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2'. He is reprising his role in
'Avengers: Infinity War
', which has a gigantic cast of actors playing superheroes.
"When I first arrived in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Downey was the first to call and tell me, Hey man, welcome. If there's anything you need I will help. There are so few people on the planet who are going through what you're going through right now. I have, so I'm here. I'll always answer the phone,'' Pratt told.
"I feel completely empowered to pay it forward with
Tom (Holland) or
Chadwick
(Boseman). Now I just really feel compelled to offer them, even if it's a fraction of what Downey was able to offer me, and just say, "Anything you need, you let me know.'" he added. The 38-year-old actor also shed a light on Downey Jr's never seen before side where he would offer help to his co-actors in the times of need.
Recalling a particular incident, Pratt said, "He came up to me and said, 'You doing all right?' I said 'Yeah, I've got a sore throat'. Within 10 minutes there was a person here giving me all these herbs and taking care of me."
"He offered the use of his trailer where I could sit down and use some of his hi-tech healing gadgets. It was amazing. I'm living my best life," Pratt added.
