Hollywood actor Chris Pratt is showing his love for the Thompson-Nicola region in a new video posted to Instagram.
The actor is in the Merritt area filming his latest movie Jurassic World 3, when he took to Instagram to give a shout out to Kamloops.
“Look at this beautiful drive,” he said in that video. “Kamloops, British Columbia is so beautiful. Good Lord, that sun, wow!”
Filming for Jurassic Park 3 got underway in Merritt on Tuesday.
Jurassic World 3 also stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Isabella Sermon, Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum. It is set to be released on June 11, 2021.
Pratt rose to fame on the TV sitcom Parks and Recreation, and was also cast in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Lego Movie franchise, before joining the Jurassic World franchise.
