If there’s one person in Hollywood thatChris Prattadmires most, it’sTom Cruise.
TheJurassic World: Fallen Kingdomactor, 39, opened up about his admiration for Cruise, 56, in an interview with theAssociated Presspublished Thursday.
When asked who his acting role model is, Pratt said, “Oh,Tom Cruise.Mission: Impossible. He ran across London, across bridges, over buildings.”
“Yeah, Tom is a great runner,” he added, referring to the action star’s tendency to run into dangerous situations in almost every film he’s made. “He did all his own jumping, he was flying the helicopter, he really was like — oh, if there’s a question of whether or not I’m the best at this, let me put that question to bed.He’s the best.”
Pratt admitted he wouldn’t be opposed to following in Cruise’s footsteps.
“One of the career goals that I have based onTom Cruiseis his reputation as being a really nice, positive guy who works hard,” the actor said. “I’ve never actually met him, but I would like — if you’re going to leave a legacy, it’d be nice to have it be that people thought you were nice and easy to work with and you worked hard.”
