‘I’m good at holding my breath, so I thought it would be funny if I didn’t move for a while – but it ended up taking me about a minute and a half before I finally managed to get out. "To get the last shot, they used an excavator to dump another bucket load of dirt on me and I was supposed to crawl my way out. "Reece is getting buried alive, so I was up to my neck in mud," he explains. The 42-year-old actor has a reputation as a prankster, but he nearly paid the price on The Terminal List while shooting one scene where his character gets caught in a landslide. "All of us care deeply about this community of SEALS, and we wanted to honour what they stand for,’ says Pratt, who’s best-known as celestial human hybrid Peter Quill/Star-Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, and dinosaur expert Owen Grady in the Jurassic World movies.
