Chris Pratt has taken his latest role to a whole new level.
This weekend, Hollywood star Chris Pratt visited children at the Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and re-enacted a scene from "Jurassic World," in which his character, Owen Grady, calms a pack of velociraptors by extending his hands outwards and focusing the dinosaurs’ attention on him, BuzzFeed reported.
