Chris Pratt might need to take it easy for a little while. On Thursday, the actor took to Instagram to share a photo from the set of his new movie, Mercy, showing off his injured ankle with an ice pack wrapped around it.
“Mercy filming day 4,” The Guardians of the Galaxy star wrote in the post’s caption. “I have such a great stunt team! AND I sometimes try to get in there and do some of my own stuff.” He then offered some clarity on what happened, quipping, “Today, daddy caught a metal post to the ankle.” Finally, Pratt added, “Should be interesting moving forward.”
