‘Jurassic World 4:’ ‘Parks and Rec’s’ Chris Pratt Casting After ‘GOTG’ Stripper Photos [UPDATE]

Parks and Rec funny man Chris Pratt has officially made the transformation to action star by buffing up for Guardian of the Galaxy. The actor’s stripper-esque photos are proof that he is ready for leading man status. Pratt recently confirmed that he has been offered the starring role in Jurassic World 4.

Chris Pratt has successfully managed to rebrand himself as a superstar. Pratt has gone from funny fat guy to action hero. Pratt is becoming a household name with a series of starring roles including, The Lego Movie and Guardians of the Galaxy. Now Chris might be adding Jurassic World to his list of credits. Screen Rant is reporting that Pratt has confirmed he is in talks for the new film:

“I am now in contention for roles no one would have considered me for before. I know I want to do it and I know the director (Colin Trevorrow) wants me to do it so now it’s just a matter of everyone coming together and making sure it can work.”

With Pratt’s hectic schedule, he is undoubtedly worn out. His movie workload is having an effect on his day job. Pratt is gearing up for his long awaited return to NBC’s Parks and Rec and he spoke to Zap2it about coming back to work after being away so long:

"He's been dealing with a little jet lag, which is pretty funny. I came back on a Tuesday at midnight and went back to work at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, so I was like zero rest, and [the writers] knew that, and they said, 'What's the easiest thing we can do for Chris?' and they're like, 'I know! Because Andy has been in London working just like Chris was in London working,' they said, 'Maybe we just give him serious jet lag so he can like lay his head on the desk and sleep.' And so the first episode coming back is just Andy having to deal with a whole bunch of jet lag and being tired."

Do you think Pratt has what it takes to lead a film? Do you wanna see him square off against a T-Rex? Sound off in our comments section.
