Viral video: Chris Pratt, Meryl Streep and Star Wars

Who is Chris Pratt?

Chris Pratt ranks is well known on US television, with a string of big roles to his name, including Andy Dwyer in Parks and Recreation and Bright Abbott in Everwood. He also starred in The Lego Movie, Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World. But the man who came second in People magazine’s list of the sexiest men alive last year scored a big fail when TV host Billy Eichner walked through the streets of New York with him and asked people who he was. And if you’ve forgotten Chris’s face already, then take a look at our 10 movie outtakes that made it to the big screen – there he is as Peter Quill/Starlord in Guardian, dropping the ball, along with bloopers from Star Wars and Lemony Snickett.

What’s in a name? Quite a lot, according to Suffragette actor Meryl Streep and Queen of the Desert star Nicole Kidman, who reveal the stories behind their names to the BBC’s Graham Norton.

Extreme phone pinching has become something of a trend and we have a compilation of clips where the stunt doesn’t always turn out as planned. Meanwhile a pit of rattlesnakes get their fangs into a GoPro when it falls into their nest in a video that makes quite uncomfortable viewing, especially if you are scared of snakes.

To take your mind off that, we’ve a trio of spoofs guaranteed to raise a smile: A Barack Obama spoof in the style of Drake, a Swedish chef singing - and dancing - to Sia Furler’s Chandelier, and a TV news reporter stunt by Jonathan Pie which attempts to tell the news as it really is ... Back to the studio!
