America’s love affair with Chris Pratt has gotten to the point where it feels like we, collectively, are standing outside his bedroom window blasting Peter Gabriel from a boombox. It’s bad.

It was a great comfort for us to learn, then, that even the Guardians of the Galaxy star went through a pudgy/nerdy high school phase much like the rest of us. One of his former classmates took to Reddit and posted several yearbook photos of Pratt, and they’re spectacularly ridiculous.

Is this Grease? West Side Story? Why didn’t Pratt get a cool jacket? Why the Mr. Rogers-style cardigan? These are the things we need to know.

Moves like this clearly foreshadow his career as Burt Macklin of the FBI.
