Rather than the customary green slime, Chris Pratt was coated in cream pie at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The staged pastry assault occurred backstage the Inglewood Forum by Henry Strange stars - Jace Norman, 15, Ella Anderson, 10, Riele Downs, 13, and Sean Ryan Fox, 13.

That's when Ella, Riele, and Sean pummeled poor Pratt with precisely five more pies.

But Chris only sought revenge against his first assailant, splatting merengue on top of Norman's noggin.

The aptly named 'Pie Table' was conveniently located directly behind the actors, and the pie carnage was all leading up to the award for favourite villain.

It was clearly not Pratt's night as his rival Liam Hemsworth beat him to the Blimp for favourite male action star.

However, it's more likely Chris was just gearing up to shoot the Japanese-inspired western Magnificent Seven next month.
