“Devastated to hear about the loss of my friend and former stunt double Tony McFarr,” wrote Pratt in an Instagram Story. “We did several movies together. We golfed, drank whiskey, smoked cigars, and spent endless hours on set. I’ll never forget his toughness.”
“I remember he took a nasty shot to the head (in the title sequence of Guardians 2) and got several staples in his head — he came right back to work ready to go again,” the actor continued. “He was an absolute stud. He was always a gentleman and professional.”
