Chris Pratt says he is "so honoured" to be playing moustachioed Italian plumber Mario in the upcoming Super Mario Bros film. The Hollywood actor said there was no "bigger Mario fan than myself" and that his younger self would "flip my turtle" to know he would one day voice the character.
Pratt is joined by Charlie Day as Luigi in the film, alongside Jack Black as Bowser, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach and Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong. "Y’all don’t even know what you’re about to see!" Pratt wrote on Instagram.
"There’s not a bigger Mario fan than myself. 10-year-old me would flip my turtle if I knew I’d grow up to voice this character.
