Watch 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' Star Chris Pratt Rap Like A Pro

Well, this was kind of unexpected. Aside from his general movements towards being the internet's Man Of The Moment lately, Guardians Of The Galaxy star Chris Pratt — who has come a looong way from his heady, husky early days on Parks And Recreation — apparently also possesses some pretty mad rap skills, as evidenced when the actor recently swung past a US radio station to chat about the film, and instead wound up reciting Eminem's verse from Dr Dre's What About Dre? off the famed rapper/producer's 1999 LP 2001.

Actually, "reciting" doesn't really do it justice. Sure, it's a word-for-word rehash, but look at that animation! That passion! That belief in whatever the fuck he's saying! It's magnificent. Never let it be said that you, too, can't go from smoking weed every day in a van in Maui to being one of the most bankable stars on the big screen.

It's not likely, but hey. It worked for Chris Pratt.
