LifestyleMarch 5, 2020

These days, it seems that the name of the game in staying relevant is social media. Celebrities are well aware of this and have used various platforms to get in touch with fans as well as brands. In this new online landscape, building a following in the millions fast is not unheard of. ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ actor Chris Pratt is a bit impatient though and has decided to take matters into his own hands.

The Necessary Push

I really can’t say enough good things about my friend Tom Holland. He’s dashing, charming, handsome, he’s an amazing dancer, like could ACTUALLY save the universe in a dance off, an incredible talent but more importantly a really good bloke. Humble, kind and good at golf. Basically. I hate him. You know? Like… enough is enough. Anyways. See us in #Onward this week.

Using Instagram Stories, Pratt called his fans to help him finally reach 28 million followers on the popular image sharing platform. In a seemingly joking manner, the 40-year-old actor talked about how many more people it will take for him to reach his goal and even tried counting it on his fingers.

There’s no doubt that the former ‘Parks and Recreation’ star enjoys his time using Instagram. He often shares photos of his personal life with wife Katherine Schwarzenegger and his seven-year-old son Jack, who he shares with ex-wife Anna Faris. He’s also one to let fans have a peek behind the scenes of the current films he’s working on.

Film Promotion

And like his fellow A-listers, Pratt uses his Instagram to announce and promote various projects. Lately, he’s been busy with the upcoming new installment of the Jurassic World film franchise. He recently shared the title of the film, ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’, and hyped up audiences for it.

In this follow-up to 2018’s ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’, which earned $1.3 billion at the box office, Pratt returns as ethologist Owen Grady alongside actress Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays Claire Dearing, now a dinosaur rights activist. The film ended with dinosaurs living alongside people and even showed them roaming outer urban areas.

Potential Catalyst

The two actors have been working together since 2015’s ‘Jurassic World’, which reboot the action-fantasy franchise

Aside from the big paycheck Pratt is probably getting for reprising his lead role, the film can also help him achieve his social media goals as new viewers are drawn to his Instagram account. Promotion for the movie has already begun with director Colin Trevorrow, who helmed the 2015 reboot, releasing a sort of short film teaser for it in the fall of 2019. For now, fans would have to wait some more as ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ won’t come out in theaters until June 2021.
