Chris Pratt missed the MTV Movie Awards to take part in a half-Ironman triathlon.
The Guardians of the Galaxy star, who was nominated for four prizes at the ceremony, completed the event on Sunday in seven hours, four minutes and 52 seconds.
And the actor even helped one of his fellow competitors when she was stricken with cramp during the course. Erin O’Connell wrote on Facebook: “You were so kind and encouraging when I ran next to you for a few miles and and you asked if I was okay when my leg started cramping. Thank you for your support… you were such a great motivator.”
