Pratt has [many](http://time.com/3082527/chris-pratt-raps-eminem-forget-about-dre/), [many](http://time.com/3024505/chris-pratt-french-braid-hair/) talents, but he admits that Photoshop is not one of them — so he’s turning to his fans for help. Whoever creates the best header for his page will receive the following honors: * Having their work (and signature) displayed on Chris Pratt’s official Facebook page * Maybe a free dinner at Applebee’s * Maybe more — “sky’s the limit” The actor does, of course, have a few specific requests along with some more general ideas to help you get started. He’s looking to have his characters Peter Quill, Owen, Andy and Emmet in the mix. He’d also like some other fun stuff in there such as his family, eagles, explosions, cigars, raptors, trophy elk, rollerblades, steak “or maybe even some corndogs.” Just eight hours after posting [this request](https://www.facebook.com/PrattPrattPratt/posts/1020053928026436), Pratt has already received some excellent submissions. For example: a montage of _Parks and Recreation_ cast members faces’ Photoshopped [onto dinosaur bodies](https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=872794202804139&set=p.872794202804139&type=1&permPage=1), a very comprehensive [collage](https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1140717232609266&set=p.1140717232609266&type=1&theater) and [an American flag](https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=982680045132819&set=p.982680045132819&type=1) made of Pratt’s face.

I love this song. [ MUSIC ] Everything continues to be awesome for Chris Pratt, who's on quite a roll at the box office. The Lego Movie, with Pratt leading the voice cast, opened with $ 69 million last year. Then he made sure everyone knew his face as well as his name with Guardians of the Galaxy. Star Lord. Who? I'm a Starlord, man. Legendary outlaw? Guys? Move! Forget this. [ NOISE ] Guardians opened with $ 94 million dollars and now Pratt is set to top that with his third straight number one, Jurassic World. It's not about. Control. Stand back. It's a relationship. Based on respect. To play the film's raptor whisperer, Pratt consulted a man who works with lions, tigers, and bears. Oh my. I talked to him about how you would go about training a vicious animal that's intelligent enough to understand [ UNKNOWN ]. If we do this, we do this my way. And of course there was his Steve McQueen theme. It was a giant playdate with some raptors. I had, I got to have so much fun. It was truly a fantasy and awesome moment. The inner thirteen year old, my inner thirteen year old, was sort of like doing a victory dance. That's what happens when you race from one monster hit to the next. In Hollywood, I'm David Daniel.
