Take a bow... and arrow! Jurassic World actor Chris Pratt takes aim as he hits up archery range

With Guardians Of The Galaxy under his belt, and as the leading man in the upcoming Jurassic World movie, Chris Pratt is turning into quite the action hero these days.

And on Sunday, the 35-year-old actor was seemingly embracing his persona as he headed to an archery shooting range in Los Angeles.

Looking like a male version of Jennifer Lawrence - whose Katniss Everdeen has become the standard for movie archers - Pratt seems comfortable as he aimed for the targets.

While production has wrapped for Jurassic World, it is possible that Pratt’s character, Owen, has some archery skills that have inspired the actor's new hobby.

Considering that Pratt does not yet have an announced feature film follow-up to Jurassic World – and considering that no one on Pratt’s TV show, Parks And Recreation, would give his Andy Dwyer a bow and arrow – a newly learned Jurassic World skill is a definite possibility.

It may be an act, but Pratt’s good form and confident demeanour suggest familiarity with archery on some level.

Although plot details of Jurassic World remain shrouded in secrecy, Pratt is expected to play a Velociraptor researcher at the dinosaur theme park now located on Isla Nublar.

The story picks up 22 years after the first Jurassic Park movie, at a time when the theme park’s declining attendance causes its corporate owner to open a new attraction.

Naturally, things then go horribly, terrifyingly wrong.

Along with Pratt, Jurassic World will star Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D’Onofrio, Nick Robinson and Ty Simpkins.
