Chris Pratt reveals the moment he felt like he ‘made it’ as an actor and admits that he spent his first paycheck for a movie role ‘very quickly'
Chris Pratt might not have to worry about money anymore, but he can still remember the shock of blowing through his first Hollywood paycheck.
Pratt, who at one point headlined Marvel’s lucrative Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, can now command a hefty payday to appear in Hollywood blockbusters. However, he explained that he “very quickly” spent his first big paycheck. “About two months later, I was like, 'Where'd that money go?'' he said. “I went back to Maui, I went to Australia, I traveled the world…That was just a crazy amount of money to me.
'I didn't know what to do with money,” he said. “It was like, it would come in, I would spend it, you know what I mean? It took a good amount of time for me to kind of stop and say, 'All right, I gotta get wise about this.'” Pratt explained that because Hollywood has surprisingly few “tangible goals” to denote success in the field, he’s always had trouble deciding when he’s “made it” as an actor. The former Parks & Recreation star said his conception of success has shifted as his star has risen.
