'Is he from VH1?' New Yorkers have no idea who Chris Pratt is in funny clip from Billy On The Street
Chris Pratt is undoubtedly one of the hottest stars around right now, but he’s not recognised as often as you might think.
In fact, barely anyone realised who the star was during a game he played with pal Billly Eichner, which was released via Funny Or Die on Monday.
Billy On The Street saw the host offering New Yorkers a dollar if they could correctly identify Chris, and it was only right at the end that they managed to find someone who got it right.

Who’s that guy?: People in New York failed to recognise Chris Pratt as he played a game of Billy On The Street with pal Billy Eichner
While some of the passers-by simply said they didn’t know who he was, others offered their best guess.
‘He’s from… VH1?’ one person asked, while another guessed ‘Chris Evans’.
‘You’re an actor,’ one New Yorker said confidently, but didn’t get any further than that, asking if he was Liam (as in Hemsworth).
Surprising: While you’d imagine that the actor gets recognised all the time, a huge number of people had no idea who he was
Looking hopeful: Chris would stare at the New Yorkers while Billy rattled off some of the praise he has been given by various publications
A group of Scottish tourists were thrilled that they were meeting an A-lister at all, and whooped and cheered when Billy told them it was Josh Duhamel.
Throughout the clip, Chris – bundled up in a wool coat – could be seen looking hopefully at everyone as Billy rattled off the praise some publications have recently given him in a bid to jog their memory.
But the Jurassic World star, 36, couldn’t help but laugh at one man’s reaction when Billy said he’d been called one of the brightest stars around.
Familiar face?: Some of the passers-by recognised that Chris was an actor, but asked if he was Chris Evans or Liam Hemsorth
‘He looks real bright’: The Jurassic World star couldn’t help but laugh when one man said that while he was ‘good looking’, he didn’t have a clue who he was
Just happy to meet someone at all: Billy told a group of Scottish tourists that it was Josh Duhamel, and they whooped and cheered
‘I think he is. He looks real bright. He’s a good looking guy, look at him!’ the man said. But when asked who it was, the New Yorker shrugged: ‘F*** if I know!’
The first people Billy and Chris stopped were a couple, who explained that they ‘don’t watch TV’ when they couldn’t ID Chris.
‘It’s movies! You think he’s still slumming it on NBC?’ Billy quipped.
Eventually, they stumbled upon a woman who immediately pointed out that it was Chris Pratt standing in front of her.
Finally!: At the very end of the clip, the pair stumbled upon a woman who immediately pointed out that Chris Pratt was standing in front of her
No hard feelings: Chris definitely saw the funny side when he was not recognised by anyone, tweeting that you’ve ‘gotta love New York’
‘Nice to meet you! I like your wife,’ she said, and Chris kindly thanked her.
But she admitted that she didn’t watch Anna Faris’s TV show Mom, leading Billy to dramatically storm off.
Clearly finding the whole thing very amusing, Chris tweeted as the clip was released: ‘Gotta love New York. And my good buddy Billy!’
The clip will appear, along with two other games featuring Chris, on this week’s episode of Billy On The Street With Billy Eichner, which airs on TruTV this Thursday.
Happy couple: The Guardians Of The Galaxy star was spotted with wife Anna Faris in Atlanta on Sunday, as he took a break from filming his latest movie Passengers alongside Jennifer Lawrence
