Chris Prattmay have gotten a little ahead of himself when it came to challenging one of his costars in a battle of the biceps.
During Thursday night’s episode ofThe Late Late Show, the 42-year-old actor admitted that he used to “take sleep aids” like Ambien “to help [him] sleep,” to the point where at times he would"black out" and text people— only to forget the messages he sent.
One such recipient of one of these texts was none other than hisGuardians of the Galaxycostar (and former professional wrestler)Dave Bautista.
“The next day, [Dave] goes, ‘Hey man, that text you sent last night,’ and I go, ‘What text?’ He goes, ‘You don’t remember?’ " said Pratt, before doing a spot-on impression of a full-on belly laugh from Bautista, 52.

When Pratt checked his phone, sure enough, he saw a message he’d sent that challenged Bautista to combat.
" ‘Dave, I wanna wrestle you. I wanna wrestle you. No one needs to know, but I just wanna know,’ " the text read. " ‘I think I could take you. I think I could wrestle you, bro. Like, collegiate rules, no elbows, no knees. I just wanna feel the power.’ "
Pratt told hostJames Cordenon Thursday’s show that he was “mortified” over the exchange as, in reality, “Dave would kill me so fast.”

Despite not having a history of professional wrestling under his belt, Pratthasgained the physical-fitness approval of one of the most ripped stars in Hollywood history: his father-in-law,Arnold Schwarzenegger.
“The first thing when we met, [Chris] says, ‘Canwe have a workout together? I need to have the inside scoop to the pumping iron,’ " Arnold, 73, said onJimmy Kimmel Live!back in October 2019.
He went on to praise theJurassic World: Dominionstar as “a strong guy” whom he’s “very proud of,” quipping of that first gym session, “When I watched him make his moves in the gym, theincline press specifically did it. [That’s] why I wanted him to become my son-in-law.”
Though Arnold also joked that when he first found out about daughterKatherine Schwarzenegger’s relationship with Pratt, he was wary: “[I was like], ‘Do you have to be so competitive? I mean, do you have to have a guy that is taller than me, that is bigger than me, that is doing bigger movies than me … makes more money than me? What is going on here?’ "
