Chris Pratt, loveable hunk that he is, has proven he can do no wrong. On the Graham Norton Show, Pratt made Norton, Jude Law, Melissa McCarthy, and a studio full of audience members lose it by doing a perfect Towie accent, which he picked up from watching British reality TV. 

"My wife was crazy about [The Only Way is Essex]," said Pratt. Apparently, his wife and luckiest woman in the world Anna Faris came out to visit him in London while he was filming Guardians of the Galaxy, and fell in love with the reality TV show. It's easy to see why she loves it; Pratt explained the premise: "It's a show that's basically like their version of the Jersey Shore."

He elaborates, but only so much: "It's like this town, somewhere... Essex, I guess," he said. "And these folks are just like, the worst."

In any case, Faris loved it so much that Pratt started to pick up the accent from the show, and he does it perfectly for the audience on the Graham Norton Show. You don't have to have seen a single episode of The Only Way to tell that when Pratt imitates a young woman from Essex complaining about her boyfriend Michael, he nails it. Watch it above.
