Chris Pratt was a stripper

The "Parks and Recreation" actor claims he "loved to get naked", so decided to make money out of his passion for nudity, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I was always very much a naked person. I loved to get naked. I was very free, so I thought, I may as well get paid," the 34-year-old told Buzzfeed.com.

He even performed for his friend's grandmother for a small fee but he admits his poor dancing skills failed to land him a job as a professional stripper.

"I was never like 'Magic Mike'. I did go one time and audition on a stage for a club, but I don't think I got the job. I don't think I'm a very good dancer," he said.
