Chris Pratt shares strange story behind his first headshot on 'The Tonight Show'
Chris Pratt's first headshot is amazing - and so is the story behind it.
'The Guardians of the Galaxy' star talked about his first headshot on 'The Tonight Show' Thursday, which went viral after he recently shared it on Twitter.
The picture, which shows him with blond curls and an unbuttoned shirt, was taken when he was only 20 years old and had just moved to L.A. to break into show business.
'I knew I needed a headshot and I was in an area of L.A. called West Hollywood...a predominantly gay area, a really kind of fabulous place,' Pratt told host Jimmy Fallon.
'I was at the post office and there was a guy who was really kind of looking at me for a long time. And he was like, 'You look familiar. Have I shot you before?'
I was like, 'Oh, I've never been shot! Have you shot somebody? I don't think you've ever shot me. I would know!''
After Pratt learned that the man was a photographer, he went to his apartment to get his head shot taken. Because the actor was living in his car at the time, the photographer told him to take a shower. He also gave Pratt the white shirt seen in the head shot.
After the impromptu photo shoot, the photographer gave him three rolls of camera film, for no charge. The 35-year-old thanked the stranger on 'The Tonight Show' for helping him secure his big break.
'I walked out of there and then I decided that this was the best one. He was a good guy,' he said.
'So if you're watching dude, if you remember, thank you,' he said. 'That got me on The WB. That got me 'Everwood.''
