Chris Pratt Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

Before Chris Pratt became a successful Hollywood actor, the 43-year-old admitted he stripped down for a different kind of audition.  Pratt confessed one of his "toughest" auditions was at a male strip club called Mr. Paddywack’s in Edmonds, Washington, when he was 18 years old.  "It was in the middle of the day, and the place was nasty," Pratt began his story.
