On Tuesday,Guardians of the Galaxystar Pratt shared a series of photos and videos of himself at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Monday for the Lakers' round two playoff game against the Golden State Warriors, where he rubbed elbows with Chalamet, 27.
Among a video of Pratt, 43, chatting with Lakers playersLeBron Jamesand Malik Beasley, the actor shared an image of himself and theDuneactor sitting at a table, with Pratt holding a special NBA playoffs cupcake.
“When you get courtside Lakers seats, (not to brag) they offer an exclusive, VIP buffet bar and restaurant with free drinks, delicious Tomahawk chops, cupcakes, and even America’s tastiest snack, the Timothée Chalamet,” Pratt wrote in a caption to his post.
“You know what? I get it,” he added in the caption.
Pratt’s video showing himself speaking with Lakers guard Beasley, 26, featured an intriguing connection to the earliest days of his acting career: the actor worked with Beasley’s grandfather John Beasley on the television seriesEverwoodin the early 2000s.
“Yo, Beasley, I’m looking at your grandson Malik right now, courtside,” Pratt says in his video, addressing John, 79. “I remember when you told me onEverwood, when he was like 4 years old - ‘My grandson’s going to play in the NBA.’ Well look at this. There he is.”
