Chris Pratt, an avid Seattle Seahawks supporter, marked the team’s advancement to the Super Bowl with a humorous video that also highlighted his recent ankle injury. The actor creatively linked his own physical challenges to the perseverance demonstrated by the Seahawks in reaching this milestone.
Chris Pratt humorously links ankle injury to Seahawks’ Super Bowl journey
Pratt posted a lighthearted video on Instagram and X, where he showed off his right foot’s unusual ability to spread its toes widely. His wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, sitting beside him, reacted with laughter and expressed discomfort at the unusual display.
In the caption accompanying the clip, Pratt referred to the ankle injury he sustained during filming of his new movie, Mercy, coinciding with the Seahawks’ playoff run. He drew a parallel between their shared experiences of overcoming obstacles.
What do my ankle and I have in common with the Seahawks? We’ve always been dreamers,
Pratt wrote.
Did I jack up my ankle BAD on the set of MERCY. Yes. Did that stop us? No. Did the Seahawks make the playoffs in 2024? They did not. But just like me and my ankle, which now cracks when I walk, the Seahawks DREAM BIG!
Adding further, the actor stated,
Now me and ankle have the number one movie in the world, and the Seahawks are going to the Super Bowl!!! LFG! Katherine never wanted this video to see the light of day. But like the Seahawks, my ankle and I know you CANNOT CAGE THE CLAW!
During the video, Pratt turned to Schwarznneger and remarked,
You said you almost threw up in your mouth looking at my foot because I flexed my foot.
He jokingly mentioned that his “talons” were improving as his foot healed, finishing by suggesting he might send the video to America’s Got Talent to showcase his strange skill.
