Chris Pratt got a lot of attention on Friday after he dropped a hilarious public service announcement of sorts about filming fireworks on the Fourth of July.
In the clip posted on X and Instagram, the 46-year-old actor began speaking to the audience but had his head turned, with the back of his head facing the camera. He captioned the post, "whaatttt who said that?? #Fireworks #4thofJuly."
I'm not sure it's necessary to preface that I thought the video was hysterical, but I do find the actor to be very funny. On top of that, I have been told I am easily amused. But given it's the Fourth, I figured it would be okay to bring you a moment of levity.

"Hey guys, it's Fourth of July coming up, and I know there's going to be some fireworks," Pratt said. "So, whatever you do, just don't take your phone out and film the fireworks show."
"You'll never watch that video," he added. "That video is never going to fully capture the moment, and you'll ruin the moment by having to stare at your phone filming the fireworks rather than just enjoying the fireworks. So, don't be the person who takes their phone out at the Fourth of July. It's a dumb thing to do."
The "Guardians of the Galaxy" star then had some fun with his PSA and turned around to face the camera, acting like he hadn't just dropped a truth bomb about phones and fireworks.
"Who said that?" Pratt asked, facing the camera.
Pratt is definitely one of the last good guys in Hollywood. Whether it's with the post he makes makes on the Fourth of July, September 11, Veterans Day, or Memorial Day, his posts are always on point, recognizing the sacrifices others have made to give us the ability to celebrate this day of eating hotdogs and watching fireworks, celebrating the glory of our country, One Nation under God.
The Marvel star has also made it a point to do projects that honor those in our military, and his Amazon Prime series "The Terminal List" in 2022 is a perfect example that the actor puts his money where his mouth is.
It was based on the very popular Jack Carr novel that bears the same name.
As RedState reported:
The movie is based on a Jack Carr novel that bears the same name. Pratt plays Navy SEAL veteran James Reece, the sole survivor of a brutal ambush during a high-stakes mission. Reece senses there's more to his ambush and finds himself in the middle of a deep conspiracy that sends him on a revenge mission.

Even more important than the project was Pratt's very strong defense of the series against the woke leftist critics, as RedState's Nick Arama previously reported.
Former military, strong man, Chris Pratt — you know those factors all add up to the left hating it and going after him. It was certified as "rotten" on "Rotten Tomatoes." The Hollywood Reporter said that the target demo is people who are "patriotically waving flags." The Daily Beast called it an "unhinged right-wing revenge fantasy." To them that's bad, but that's how you know it's likely good. Of course, that didn't stop the fans. Indeed, fans often embrace shows the critics hate since they're not stuck in the leftist critic mode.
It's a smash hit in the Nielsen Ratings with at least 1.6 billion streaming minutes and a fan rating of 94 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

Pratt recently dropped a high-octane trailer for the eagerly anticipated prequel to "The Terminal List" of "The Terminal List: Dark Wolf," and it looks just as incredible as the original.
The post was captioned," Crossing the line was just the beginning. The Terminal List: Dark Wolf" premieres August 27 on Prime Video.
Check it out and Happy Fourth!
