Chris Pratt and Charlie Day share how the Super Mario Bros. Movie made them cool dads

Pratt and Day shared their experience of becoming their children’s heroes thanks to the movie. “We’re cool again,” said Day, “We’re back into cool dad’s status.” Charlie Day’s 11-year-old boy was especially elated to hear his dad being cast as Luigi.  

Pratt said his 10-year-old son was happy he got cast in the Mario movie but is a bigger fan of Luigi than Pratt’s character Mario. “Like he plays Smash Brothers, and he’s like, ‘Dad, I own at Smash, I own everybody at Smash. And I’m Luigi. I think Luigi is a better player,’” Pratt said, “So he’s always kind of leaning against the characters that I play!” This is a similar incident for Pratt, as his son loves Captain America more than his character in the MCU.

Fans are excited to see how these two actors have embodied their characters in the new Mario movie. They will surely have a treat watching their childhood classic game on the big screens.
