Chris Pratt jumped to fame when he got cast as Star-Lord on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, and he started different types of training ever since, years later, around $16 million dollars have been spent on his training alone.
Where he got his start
He started as the happy-go-lucky Andy Dwyer, then moved onto the MCU and now he is a full-time action hero, but it took a lot of effort and money to shape him to fight dinosaurs or chase terrorists as a veteran or even portray a Navy Seal like in his latest Amazon Prime show The Terminal List.
In this particular show, he plays James Reece who just came back from his last military tour coming from a batch mission where his SEAL team got killed in action and he is coming back to find out what happened.
Obviously, we’re talking shootings, explosions, conspiracy theories, and all that ‘Merica beep bop that will have action fans craving for more.
US Military Service spending
Pratt frequently plays military members that apparently would cost the US military service or the pentagon millions of dollars. So here is a small take on his roles so far.
His training spending in action
For a US Army basic training course, the government spends about $50,000 let’s add about $1.5 million that is spent on special Ops plus training as a Navy Seal, that is per year, and then that’s $3.1 million multiplied by the years of service that amounts to about $16,258,000 to train and deploy him.
