EXCLUSIVE: Chris Pratt and Chris Hemsworth are both stars of the Avengers franchise, A-list celebrities and part of an elite Tinseltown club.
The Hollywood Chrises was the nickname given to Pratt, Hemsworth, Chris Pine and Chris Evans, who were all at the top of their game at the same time.
But Pratt has plenty of praise for his Aussie co-star, after working alongside Hemsworth on last year’s Meta Ray Ban Super Bowl commercial.

Speaking to nine.com.au while promoting his new movie Mercy, which looks at what could happen if the world had AI courtrooms in 2029, Pratt reflected on the AI glasses project almost a year after the big-budget ad first aired.
“Gosh, we had so much fun,” Pratt says in London.
“I always have fun on set, even if it’s not a movie, that is innately comedic but working with Hemsworth on that Meta commercial was so fun, he’s just the best.
“I want to only work with him forever, he’s such a blast to be around. What a solid dude.”

The 46-year-old laughs at the idea of a “Hollywood Chris-off” when they get together, with Pratt saying he pre-emptively waves a white flag in favour of Hemsworth, 42.
“Oh, he would win immediately, so I don’t even start,” Pratt tells nine.com.au.
In Mercy, Pratt plays Chris Raven, a cop accused of murdering his wife and given just 90-minutes to prove his innocence to a computer generated judge (played by Rebecca Ferguson).
He says making the movie amidst the backdrop of the LA riots and ICE raids in the US was a surreal experience.

“It is a bit unnerving,” he admits to nine.com.au.
“I think this entire era of AI in its rapid progression, its evolution is anxiety-inducing.
“Certainly there’s levels of this that don’t feel too far-fetched and that in itself, it’s kind of scary.”
