In the video, Pratt shared that as a kid, he used to just be looking at the Super Mario arcade because he couldn't afford to play. He admitted he resorted to stealing coins out of wishing wells so he could play the game.

Several supporters, including celebrities, quickly congratulated Pratt for successfully taking over Mario's character. Other followers were thrilled about the actor's exciting announcement.

Years later, Pratt voiced his character again with Banks for a public service announcement amid the pandemic.

Playing an animated character is not new to Pratt. In 2014, he voiced Emmet in "The Lego Movie." He co-starred with Elizabeth Banks, who played Lucy, Will Arnett as Batman, and Alison Brie as Unikitty.

For Pratt, making the PSA video is very important because he knew he had to ensure his own family's safety. With the pandemic still ongoing, Pratt has remained cautious about the projects he takes on.

He said he wants to work close to home as being away from his family is tough for him. Pratt has been married to his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger since 2019 and they share one-year-old daughter Layla.
