For example: he can magically transition from a chubby, [lovable idiot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTdpbu4kPlw) to a [dead-sexy](http://perezhilton.com/2014-08-01-look-how-hot-chris-pratt-is-in-this-pic-from-jurassic-world#.U-DnuIBdW38) action hero. Also, he can do a mean[ french braid](http://time.com/3024505/chris-pratt-french-braid-hair/). Now we know he can also rap. In a recent radio interview, when the conversation turned to music, the _Guardians of the Galaxy_ star revealed some deep-seated love for Eminem’s “The Slim Shady LP” and Dr. Dre’s “Chronic 2001.” Soon, he launched into a flawless performance of Eminem’s verse from “Forgot About Dre.” Next, we’d like to see him rap and french braid and star in an action flick ALL AT THE SAME TIME. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3082527/chris-pratt-raps-eminem-forget-about-dre/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3082527/chris-pratt-raps-eminem-forget-about-dre/"},"headline":"Watch Chris Pratt Perfectly Rap Eminem's Verse From 'Forgot About Dre'","datePublished":"2014-08-05T14:31:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:12:11.646Z","description":"He also casually disses Orlando Bloom","url":"https://time.com/3082527/chris-pratt-raps-eminem-forget-about-dre/","keywords":["Newsfeed","rap","Dr. Dre","Hip-Hop","celebrity","chris pratt"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta48123fbe2c88ef6/69869e6acd804d1736ccc3c5/453169864.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta48123fbe2c88ef6/69869e6acd804d1736ccc3c5/453169864.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Chris Pratt","caption":"\"Guardians Of The Galaxy\" - Los Angeles Premiere","creditText":"Axelle/Bauer-Griffin—FilmMagic/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3082527/chris-pratt-raps-eminem-forget-about-dre/","name":"Watch Chris Pratt Perfectly Rap Eminem's Verse From 'Forgot About Dre'"}}]}] ```
