Step aside, Ryan Gosling. There’s a new heartthrob in town.
Chris Pratt, star of the upcoming summer blockbuster “Guardians of the Galaxy,” took a break from his interview with “Entertainment Tonight” on Tuesday to French braid an intern’s hair.
This was no random request — back in April, the “Parks and Recreation” actor posted a photo to his Instagram account of wife Anna Faris, with the caption, “This is a weird thing to brag about but I did that glorious french braid. #Baller #man #ManBraid #RealMenBraid #isitBrade? #SpellingQuestion #StillBallerTho #WhyIsItFrench??? #ICallItAFreedomBraid #GoUSA.”

“You’re a leading man now, you’re a superhero, a great dad, all these manly things, but apparently you’re pretty good at French braiding?” the host asked Pratt during the interview, before inviting “ET” intern Jen onto the set for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“I like the hair, it’s very nice,” Pratt said to Jen, who admitted she’s never had a man braid her hair before. In just four minutes flat, he tied off his finished product using a scrunchie, because “an elastic could damage the hair.”
Jen has yet to wash her hair since the interview (or so we presume).
Pratt became a bona fide hottie over a year ago, when he debuted his newly buff bod on Instagram. “I feel better about myself now that I’m in shape,” he said in an interview with The Post. “I feel less depressed. I feel mentally more sound, and I like picking out clothes.”
“Guardians of the Galaxy” hits theaters Aug. 1, and Pratt will take the lead again in next year’s “Jurassic World.”
