Chris Pratt has been spotted for the first time since the cause of death of his stunt double, Tony McFarr, was revealed. The 45-year-old actor was filming his new project, The Way Of The Warrior Kid, in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
McFarr, who had worked with Pratt on films like Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World, passed away unexpectedly in May at the age of 47. The medical examiner has now ruled that his death was caused by an irregular heartbeat and a problem with his heart valves, as well as a history of heavy drinking.
Pratt was seen on set, dressed in casual attire, chatting with director McG. The film is centered around a self-doubting kid who learns to find his inner warrior with the help of his uncle, an elite Navy SEAL.
