'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.

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

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.

‘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.

‘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.
