Chris Pratt said that when it comes to Hollywood actors, he has little patience for stars who have a “bad attitude” while on set.

On Thursday, October 17, the 45-year-old actor participated in a panel for his newest film, Netflix’s The Electric State, during New York Comic Con 2024. Alongside his costar and Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown, Pratt explained that the moviemaking business requires a good attitude.

“Look, these guys can attest to this, because they’re the same way, like, there’s no room for s—ty attitudes there,” he said, per People. “You can’t have a bad attitude in moviemaking, it ruins everything for everyone, and then you don’t last long.”

“It sucks when people have a crappy attitude,” he said. “So when you show up on set, there’s no reason why you should… Like, ‘Oh, are you having a hard time living your dream? Is that tough for you today?’ Like, come on and pull your head out,” said Pratt. “Have fun.”

As for his current film, Pratt had nothing but positive things to say about his 20-year-old Electric State costar.

“She’s just incredible,” the Jurassic World star said of Brown. “She was surrounded by all these animals. She’s like, they would yell cut and she’d go to her home and she’s finding a home for, like some pygmy goat to be adopted and organizing a U-Haul full of pit bull puppies to be taken to Indiana. Like she has such a huge heart, such a love for animals.”

Pratt added that he and Brown had fun and grew close during filming. “And so we had a great time. We became fast friends,” Pratt said, before saying to Brown, “and you can’t get rid of me. Sorry.”

Pratt and Brown’s Electric State is based on a graphic novel of the same name by Simon Stålenhag. Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, collectively known as the Russo Brothers, the movie follows Brown as a teenage orphan searching for her brother after an uprising of robots fails. The film boasts a star-studded cast including Ke Huy Quan and Stanley Tucci, as well as voice acting work from Jason Alexander, Jenny Slate, Anthony Mackie and more.

The Russo Brothers are known for their work on many films and TV shows, including Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, Community and Arrested Development, among others. After Electric State, the duo plans to return to their Marvel roots directing upcoming films Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
