“Guardians of the Galaxy” director James Gunn has Chris Pratt’s double prosthesis in his office.
Pratt had a very NSFW reaction when Gunn said people would “come in and scream” if they saw it.
Gunn then joked that he “gave everyone a chance” at the double.
It’s fair to say that the Guardians of the Galaxy movies can get away with being bolder and funnier than other movies in the Marvel movie universe simply because director James Gunn is behind the cosmic misfits.
The 56-year-old director has always injected a sense of naughtiness into his projects, from ‘Super’, ‘Slither’, ‘The Suicide Squad’ and ‘Peacemaker’.
So it’s not surprising that he and the “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” cast had a lot of fun during the press tour for the sequel.
Speak against IGN along with lead actor Chris Pratt, Gunn recalled using one of the actor’s double prostheses in the movie, and it got… weird.
The 35lb fake body is used in a scene early in the film when Nebula (Karen Gillan) has to carry Pratt’s Peter Quill/Star-Lord to bed after getting too drunk.
Gunn said the life-sized doppelgänger actually sits in his office, and it surprises people when they visit.
“I had it in my office for a long time and people would come in and yell,” he told IGN.
Pratt seemed very confused by Gunn’s comments and replied, “Would they have some in there and yell?”
After a moment of awkwardness, the pair quickly burst into laughter when Gunn realized that Pratt was insinuating that people were using the fake body for, er, personal gratification, shall we say.
“I was like, ‘How many people have you had come in and screamed?'” Pratt said.
Gunn, who was struggling to compose himself, then joked, “I made everyone feast on old plastic Quill.”
Pratt took it a step further, saying, “You’re like, ‘It’s really important that it looks just like Chris, and he sleeps with his mouth open.'”

Pratt recently recalled how Marvel chief Kevin Feige tried to persuade Gunn not to use itbut the director said he “wanted” to be known for it.
