As analysts predicted yesterday, Jurassic World edged out both Avengers movies to become the top domestic opener of all time. Hollywood is so surprised, but it’s hilarious how this film has outrun modest expectations to become a sleeper popcorn hit. Chris Pratt will be coasting for awhile on this success, and there will surely be sequels.

There are a few Pratt stories floating around. First, he got ambushed by some dinosaurs as a prank. Dude took it well, but seeing “real” dinos may have taken a few years off his life. Here’s the video clip with some NSFW language when Pratt figures out he’s been pranked:

Pratt has a followup to his gross GQ interview. These are the discussion leftovers. He talks a lot about his early career and naked hippie life. Pratt also admits he played dumb for years in order to lure audiences into a false sense of security:

Charming his way into success: “I was pretty good at lowering people’s expectations by this ‘aw shucks’ dummy attitude. It was total survival mechanism in life. From an early age. That I really honed when I became a door-to-door salesman. This naive kind of … the guy who was like too adorable to say no to. It was my persona as a young standup comedian. So I developed my winning formula: the slightly dimwitted but charming guy. Immediately you’d let down your defenses because you’re, like, ‘Oh, what’s the worst that could happen with this young little dummy?’, you know what I mean? And that led to some roles.”

Did this carry over into real life? “Yeah. Loved that. Because I think the greatest offense you can have is to trick someone into underestimating you. It’s like the little catfish who has like a toe that looks like a worm, you know? ‘Come here.’ Deep down inside I’ve always been a survivor. I’m probably revealing too much but who gives a sh*t?”

Pratt did well at tricking people into thinking he was simply a jolly guy who could play the fool well. Little did the world realize that Pratt had a plan. Well, maybe he didn’t have a plan, but it all worked out for him. Just like it did for the not-so-little movie that could, Jurassic World.

Pratt and Anna Faris have been joking around on Twitter about Blue the raptor. I guess Anna’s a little jealous, but Pratt assured her there was no need to worry.

She’s a little cold blooded for my taste. #rimshot But seriously. Nothing happened. https://t.co/TRoaJYIiaD
