Chris Pratt was a stripper

Los Angeles: Actor Chris Pratt has revealed he used to make extra cash by working as a stripper before getting into Hollywood.

The `Parks and Recreation` actor claims he "loved to get naked", so decided to make money out of his passion for nudity, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I was always very much a naked person. I loved to get naked. I was very free, so I thought, I may as well get paid,” the 34-year-old told Buzzfeed.com.

He even performed for his friend`s grandmother for a small fee but he admits his poor dancing skills failed to land him a job as a professional stripper.

"I was never like `Magic Mike`. I did go one time and audition on a stage for a club, but I don`t think I got the job. I don`t think I`m a very good dancer,” he said.
