Chris Pratt described his dear friend as, “faster than a locomotive, also stronger than one that runs him over.” Marvel’s Gamora interrupted and added, “And the fact that he said that he would do it again if he has to save his nephew’s life again, truly makes him a superhero in real life.” 

Pratt sighed, “I am so glad he is around,” referring to his near-death experience. In January, Jeremy Renner (51) shared his health update with his worried fans on Instagram, showing an image of his bruised face from the hospital bed after undergoing surgery. Pratt was the first one to send his prayers.
