LOS ANGELES, Jan 28 — If you’re in need of some pep talk, Chris Pratt has you covered with his latest social media post.
The Jurassic World star is certainly counting his blessings and took to Instagram in a recent post to share some wise words — and encourage his fans to pursue their dreams.
He shared a snap of his morning commute, captioning it: “It’s 3:20am. I got picked up for work at 6:45am yesterday. I’m not good with math, especially after being up for approximately 61 hours but I think I’ve been up for over 77 hours.
“I did a table read for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 2’ this morning and then shot all day on ‘Passengers’ and just now wrapped some 144 hours later. Weirdly both films, which I’ll be shooting back to back, are being shot in Atlanta at Pinewood studios.
“We have the best crew. Total rock stars busting their asses. And the stuff we’re shooting. My God. I can’t wait for you to see it,” Pratt wrote. “I go back in in about 8 hours to do more.”
“I am doing what I love. It doesn’t feel like work. Even though it is,” Pratt writes after being up for three days straight. “I’m having fun. I’m overcome with joy and gratitude.
“I felt like posting this to say to anyone out there chasing your dream,” Pratt continues. “Fifteen years ago I felt the same passion I feel today, but I had very little opportunity. I had to hustle hard and go hungry. I had to eat sardines and figure out how to get gas money. And I never had a plan B.”
He ended it by saying: “I never stopped believing. Ever. Don’t give up. Apply constant pressure for as long as it takes. It will break before you do. Go get it.”
It’s heartening to know that even with all the success he’s had, Pratt is still grateful for all the opportunities that come his way.
