It's surely a cool experience to be involved as a major actor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, whether because of the money, fame, or whatever else. If you're Chris Pratt, who plays Guardians of the Galaxy lead Peter "Star-Lord" Quill, the highlights of the experience also apparently include getting to work with Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr.

In a new interview with Empire Magazine (via ComicBookMovie), Pratt sung the praises of Downey and shared some of the perks of getting to work alongside him. "Man, he set a really amazing tone," Pratt said. "He's a bit like Tony Stark himself. I think a lot of what makes Tony Stark are the same qualities that make Downey great. I think Downey is about as rich as Tony Stark now. [Laughs]

"He really takes care of the actors around him in a way I've never seen before. I was a little under the weather and pushing really hard on the days I was working. He came up to me and said, 'You doing alright?' I said, 'Yeah, I've got a little sore throat.' Within 10 minutes, there was a person here giving me all these herbs and taking care of me. He offered me the use of his trailer where I could sit down and use some of his hi-tech healing gadgets. It was amazing. I'm living my best life."

Pratt also recalled how, when he was first cast in Guardians of the Galaxy, he heard from Downey before anyone else. "When I first arrived in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Downey was the first to call and tell me, 'Hey man, welcome. If there's anything you need, I will help. There are so few people on the planet who are going through what you're going through right now. I have, so I'm here. I'll always answer the phone.' I feel completely empowered to pay it forward with Tom [Holland, who plays Spider-Man] or Chadwick [Boseman, who plays Black Panther]. I'm not saying that I'm senior to them, other than I got that experience of opening a movie with Marvel and being along for the ride. Now I just really feel compelled to offer them, even if it's a fraction of what Downey was able to offer me, and just say, 'Anything you need, you let me know.'"

If Downey has treated everyone this way, he likely spends a lot of time on the phone--the MCU has grown vast, and Avengers: Infinity War is set to bring together a huge number of characters. Based on what we've seen so far, it's unclear how significantly it will feature either Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) or Ant-Man (Paul Rudd). It will, however, include Peter Dinklage in an as-of-yet unconfirmed role.
