Chris Pratt Shows Off Every One Of His Serious Acting Faces For Conan

Last night, Chris Pratt showed Conan that the only way to not over-act is to have only one facial expression for every emotion. That expression? Motherfucking Blue Steel.

In an interview about serious acting—containing a very scary closeup of Conan that you won’t want to miss— Pratt told the talk show host that any facial expression bigger than a cold stare at the camera reads as way too dramatic, which is why he reacts to a birthday cake, a love interest, and a 60-foot-tall dinosaur the same way, with a smoldering look of passion. Good to know. I already give birthday cakes this look all the time, now I’ve just got to practice it for other situations.
