Chris Pratt admits the ‘Moneyball’ director told him to stop being “such an a--hole" on set

Chris Pratt reveals director Bennett Miller called him an "a--hole" during Moneyball filming provoking authentic anger for a crucial scene.

Lori Bashian is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital. 

"I was playing first base and I was supposed to be really frustrated ’cause I couldn’t catch the ball, right? And they had taught me to field for weeks and I got pretty good," he said. "And so I was out there competitive, and I’m doing this, and I’m sweating. I’m sweating. He comes up and the way he does, he’s like, 'Just stop being such an a--hole.'"

He went on to say that the comment "made me so mad," but admitted it was just what he needed to nail the scene, adding "it's the shot that's in the movie."
