Pratt isn’t the first blockbuster star to flaunt their talents for hip hop. Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock impressed audiences during an appearance on British TV show 'Friday Night with Jonathan Ross' by reciting the Sugar Hill Gang’s 1979 track 'Rapper’s Delight.'


After requests to give the actress ‘some beats, yo’, Bullock proceeded to successfully burst out rhymes to the hip hop classic, before laughing off her performance to the cheering audience. The Gravity star explained how she had learned the words to the track in order to impress a boy when she was still in high school. Bullock joked: “And sadly, it worked.”
