Chris Pratt has admitted that a naked prank on the set of Parks and Recreation got him into trouble.

The actor was formally reprimanded by NBC after he went fully naked for a scene with co-star Amy Poehler on the comedy.

He told The Graham Norton Show: "We were shooting a scene where my character turns up naked at my co-star's door. I was wearing skin coloured underwear and I wasn't getting quite the right reaction I was hoping for.

"It was late in the day so I decided to improvise and drop my trousers for the take. Her reaction was great and it's the take they used!

"Then I got a letter from NBC's HR department that said, 'There is a protocol about nude scenes. This is not a joke and you are being reprimanded and you can't go around telling people about this like some kind of joke!' I've framed the letter!"

Meanwhile, the Jurassic World star also explained that he can only do one British accent, and it's all down to his wife's love of The Only Way Is Essex.

"When I was filming Guardians of the Galaxy in the UK we watched a lot of garbage TV, and my wife went crazy for TOWIE," he said.

"She fell in love with the show and I started picking up the accent so now the only British one I can do is an Essex one."

You may remember that Pratt introduced the American audience to the Essex accent with an amazing impersonation last year.

The Graham Norton Show airs tonight (May 29) at 10.35pm on BBC One.
