And this may help explain the stars' passion for promoting the upcoming sequel here.
From speaking in Chinese using words like "dinosaur" and "velociraptor" to fictionalizing an anecdote to tease reporters, Pratt was happy to show off his stylish blend of charm and humor to the world's second-largest movie market.
With his popularity stemming from Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, the star who only recently opened his Sina Weibo account already has more than 170,000 Chinese followers.
Interestingly, taking place within the same time span as the off-screen world, the new story is set three years on from where the 2015 film ends and pulls a thrilling conspiracy into the frame.
Since the demise of the Jurassic World theme park, the island of Isla Nublar has been abandoned by humans and overrun by surviving dinosaurs. When an active volcano threatens to erupt, raptor researcher Owen Grady and Claire Dearing, the former park manager, return to the hazardous island and try to rescue the prehistoric creatures from their second extinction.
Speaking about his character Owen's relationship with Blue, a clever raptor that he raised and trained from its infancy, Pratt describes it as a father-and-child connection.
He believes it typifies the way for humankind to harmoniously coexist with other species on the planet, and demonstrates how that relationship should not be built on fear or intimidation.
