Guardian Of The Galaxy Chris Pratt Getting Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame

04/12/2017 08:47 am EDT

As if being one of the biggest stars in Hollywood wasn't enough, Chris Pratt's legacy is about to be cemented in the industry forever. No, literally cemented.

It has just been revealed that the Guardians Of The Galaxy star will have his name embedded in the Hollywood Walk Of Fame later this month.

This does seem like a quick turn-around, given that Pratt only became a household name in the last couple of years. John Goodman has held that status for decades and only just got his star earlier this year.

When you look at his body of work though, and how many people he is able to reach, Pratt's recognition is well-deserved. He made millions laugh until they cried with his role on Parks and Recreation, then transitioned into mega-action star with his roles in Guardians Of The Galaxy and Jurassic World.

It's hard to find someone who doesn't love Chris Pratt, and the entire industry will be happy to see him enshrined on the Hollywood Walk forever. The ceremony will take place on April 21 of this year.

Congratulations, Chris!
