Chris Pratt, the lovable underdog who has transformed into a ripped action movie star, spoke to GQ's Chris Heath for the magazine's June issue, and while the interview was illuminating on many fronts, the best bits of it are perhaps the most immature ones:
You and Nick Offerman really send each other photos of each other's poop?Pratt laughs. "Yeah."Still?"Not like every poop, but if it's special enough. I sent him a picture of a giant turd on his birthday, and I said, 'You guys have the same birthday.' Adam Scott and I send each other goofy shit a lot, too. I've sent some dumps to Adam, and he sent some to me."I guess I should ask why."Because we're buddies and it makes us laugh." [GQ]
"Chris and I merely recognized in one another a formidable, concordant creator. Our 'pieces' transcend bourgeois notions like 'taste,' 'decorum,' and 'NSFW.' That's plebeian stuff. He is magnificent — a lavatorial Michelangelo, and I am his Da Vinci. He proffers Rubber Soul, and I reply with Pet Sounds. The notions of 'culture,' 'good taste,' 'decency,' and 'common sense' are but flotsam to us. Jetsam, even. Our works have honesty in their fiber. [...] We are Komodo dragons, Christopher and I. We are moray eels, mated for life. Look away — back to your BuzzFeed puppies and falsettos. Ours is an ursine language, of which, if you have to ask — you'll never know." [GQ]
The whole interview is worth a read if you're a fan of Pratt, so check it out over at GQ.
