Chris Pratt’s Hilarious ‘Moneyball’ Audition Story with Brad Pitt
Chris Pratt’s Hilarious ‘Moneyball’ Audition Story with Brad Pitt
Let’s talk about an absolutely hilarious and nerve-wracking audition story that Chris Pratt recently shared about working with none other than Brad Pitt! So, Chris was on The Graham Norton Show when he spilled the details about his audition for Moneyball , the 2011 Oscar-nominated film. And trust me, it’s one of those moments that perfectly captures both the chaos and charm of Hollywood auditions.
Picture this: Chris Pratt walks into an audition room, already feeling nervous as hell. And why wouldn’t he be? He’s sitting across from legendary actor Brad Pitt and the film’s director, Bennett Miller. Just imagine trying to stay cool when Brad Pitt is right there, watching your every move! Chris, who’s now 45, admitted that he was just about as nervous as anyone could be.
Now, here’s where it gets even more interesting. Chris describes Bennett Miller as a fantastic director but also a bit of a, well... let’s just say he has a “unique” way of working. According to Chris, Bennett was sitting back with his feet up on the desk, just watching the audition unfold. The vibe in the room was tense, and Bennett wasn’t exactly making it easier.

Then, out of nowhere, Bennett gives Chris some feedback that totally messes with his head. He says something like, “It kind of feels like you’re just auditioning for this role. This is supposed to be your house, but you seem nervous.” Now, at this point, most people would probably panic, but not Chris Pratt! He takes a deep breath, thinks fast, and decides to turn the moment to his advantage.
Chris suddenly fires back: “Okay, how about this? This is my house, and you can start by taking your feet off my desk!” Can you believe that? He literally kicked the director out of the scene! And not just Bennett—he even told Brad Pitt to get out and come back in properly so they could do the audition right. Talk about guts!
And guess what? It actually worked! That bold move completely changed the energy in the room, and Chris nailed the audition. It’s the kind of quick thinking and confidence that makes Hollywood stories so entertaining.
Now, fast-forward to today, and Chris Pratt is a massive star, known for blockbuster hits like Jurassic World and Guardians of the Galaxy . But moments like these remind us that every actor, no matter how famous, has had to fight through awkward, nerve-wracking situations to make it big.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering what Chris is up to next, you’ll soon see him in Netflix’s sci-fi action film The Electric State . But for now, let’s just appreciate the sheer brilliance of his Moneyball audition story. What a legend!
