It turns out that what Pratt is going to miss is the fans. And there were some particular fans at the premiere he wanted to shout out.
“To meet the kids from Make-A-Wish, and meet the kids from Special Olympics who are here – it feels very good. I got this wonderful little bracelet here from our buddy. Hashtag Team Lane. Isaiah 40:31. This is what it’s all about, it’s all about that.”
Pratt continued, “The kid had a big smile on his face. It was his wish to be here tonight, and that wish came true cause of Make-A-Wish, and just that kind of thing right there, it’s just so meaningful.”
