Chris Pratt sure is having a good time working together with Robert Downey Jr. in Avengers: Infinity War.
The Guardians of the Galaxy star recently spoke in a new interview with Empire (via Comic Book Movie) about his time with the Iron Man star, and Pratt sounded absolutely star struck.
"Man, he set a really amazing tone. He's a bit like Tony Stark himself. I think a lot of what makes Tony Stark are the same qualities that make Downey great. I think Downey is about as rich as Tony Stark now," Pratt said, laughing at the end.
But it isn't just RDJ's Tony Stark attitude that Pratt appreciates. The Guardians of the Galaxy actor also talks about his Infinity War co-star's kindness, talking about a time where he got a sore throat and RDJ sent someone with herbs to help him out.
"He really takes care of the actors around him in a way I've never seen before. I was a little under the weather and pushing really hard on the days I was working," Pratt tried to recall. "He came up to me and said, 'You doing alright?' I said, 'Yeah, I've got a little sore throat.' Within 10 minutes, there was a person here giving me all these herbs and taking care of me. He offered me the use of his trailer where I could sit down and use some of his hi-tech healing gadgets. It was amazing. I'm living my best life."
The Marvel actor's character has also inspired in Pratt a need to pay the kindness forward, saying that he wants to offer even a fraction of Downey's kindness to his other co-stars like Spider-Man actor Tom Holland.
"When I first arrived in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Downey was the first to call and tell me, 'Hey man, welcome. If there's anything you need, I will help. There are so few people on the planet who are going through what you're going through right now," the Guardians star said. "I have, so I'm here. I'll always answer the phone.' I feel completely empowered to pay it forward with Tom [Holland, who plays Spider-Man] or Chadwick [Boseman, who plays Black Panther]. I'm not saying that I'm senior to them, other than I got that experience of opening a movie with Marvel and being along for the ride. Now I just really feel compelled to offer them, even if it's a fraction of what Downey was able to offer me, and just say, 'Anything you need, you let me know.'"
Though we're not sure whether RDJ acts the same way to all of the other actors he works with or whether he's also enamored by Pratt's wit and charm, it's great to see the Marvel stars being kind to each other on set – even though we're pretty sure that the egos of their characters might clash in Infinity War.
