On Tuesday night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Chris Pratt reminisced about his very first celebrity sighting in Los Angeles, which was none other than N’Sync pop star Lance Bass.
The moment – which happened 15 years ago on Pratt’s first trip to L.A. – was particularly poignant because the N’Sync song Bye Bye Bye started to play in the bar where the Parks and Recreation star spotted Bass.
On seeing Bass the 35-year-old actor, who is currently promoting his latest film Jurassic World, remarked that he knew he had finally made it to the City of Angels.
