Are Chris Pratt And Taylor Kitsch From The Terminal List Friends In Real Life?

When Kitsch met with Pratt, director Antoine Fuqua, and writer David DiGilio on a Zoom call to discuss "The Terminal List," Fuqua immediately knew he was the man for the job thanks to his chemistry with Pratt. "We get off this Zoom and Antoine texted me right away and said, 'He's in. He's Ben and he's going to say yes.' I was like, 'Wow, Antoine, how do you know?' He was like, 'Because he and Chris genuinely love each other, you can see it, just from that meeting," DiGilio told Entertainment Weekly about the initial meeting. 

According to Pratt and Kitsch, the two developed a real friendship to go along with the bond their characters share. "At the beginning, obviously, we had just met, but now we've been through a lot together so we had to act less and less as the show went on, because we got to know each other better and better," Pratt explained to EW.

One difficulty was that the two were having a great time offscreen as production rolled along, just as their characters were going through more intense emotional twists. Towards the end of Season 1, the two had to fight off the laughter happening in between takes before their scenes. "It literally turned into a buddy comedy at that point," Kitsch told James Corden on The Late Late Show — with Pratt by his side, of course.
