Chris Pratt credits "monster trucks" for calming his son's tantrums.
The 'Guardians of the Galaxy' actor settled 23-month-old Jack - who he has with wife Anna Faris - by showing him YouTube videos of the huge vehicles recently and says the little boy is now obsessed with them.
Asked how to calm his son, he told People magazine: "Monster trucks. He was crying the other day, and I had him on my lap. So we watched this 15-minute highlight reel of Grave Digger on YouTube, and dude, it was so badass!
"He and I both were just wide-eyed. Now he goes around saying,'Monster trucks, monster trucks!' "
The 'Parks and Recreation' star transformed his physique to land his role in 'Guardians of the Galaxy' but joked he landed the part of Peter Quill by being himself.
He quipped: "Just be yourself, and hopefully they can shape an epic space adventure around exactly who you are."
The 35-year-old actor is thrilled 'Guardians of the Galaxy' has already proved to be a hit, bringing in $94 million at the North American box office over the weekend.
He wrote on Facebook: "'Thank you everyone watching #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy this weekend!. We're all so happy that people are loving it.
"Stay for the credits, not just the awesome post credit sequence but to read the hundreds if not thousands of names responsible for bringing it to the screen. #grateful (sic)"

Lindsay Lohan is planning to write her autobiography.
The 'Mean Girls' actress has held a string of meetings with publishing houses to discuss penning a tell-all book, and promised not to hold back on any detail, including the truth about an alleged list of her famous lovers which was leaked earlier this year and mentioned the likes of Colin Farrell, Justin Timberlake, James Franco and The Wanted's Max George.
A source said: "Lindsay held meetings at major publishing houses in London recently -- and the stories she promised the literary agents made their jaws drop.
"She's prepared to put everything out there and has already proved she's not shy with the list of men she claims to have slept with."
The 28-year-old actress wants a ghost writer to help her with the book and has set her sights on high-profile writers such as 'Fifty Shades of Grey' scribe E.L. James or 'Harry Potter' author J.K. Rowling.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "Lindsay is now looking for a ghost writer. It may seem unlikely, but she thinks she's in with a shot of getting EL James to work on it -- they met recently at [London nightspot] Chiltern Firehouse and got on well.
"Another pie in the sky idea was that she might persuade JK Rowling to work with her."

Danny Jones says his wedding day was the "best day" of his life.
The McBusted singer tied the knot with longterm girlfriend Georgia Horsley in Malton, North Yorkshire on Saturday (02.08.14) and couldn't be happier with his new bride.
He tweeted yesterday (03.08.14): "Yesterday was the Best day of my life @GeorgiaHorsley1 Thanks for making it so special. X (sic)"
Meanwhile, former Miss England Georgia, 27, paid tribute to her "soulmate" on the social networking site.
She wrote: "Emotional. Amazing. Exciting and truly wonderful day! Married my soulmate @Dannymcfly #HoneymoonTime (sic)"
The couple tied the knot in front of close friends and family, including the 'All About You' singer's bandmates Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter - who was accompanied by girlfriend Ellie Goulding - Harry Judd, Matt Willis, James Bourne, Matt's TV presenter wife Emma, and 'The Only Way is Essex' star Mario Falcone at St. Mary's Priory Church in the bride's home town.
Red London buses then carried the guests to a nearby reception, and the 28-year-old singer - who proposed to Georgia in July 23 - flashed his wedding band to fans as they left the church.

Robin Wright wishes she could watch her children grow up "all over again".
The 48-year-old star has sons Dylan Frances Penn, 23, and Hopper Penn, 21, with ex-husband Sean Penn and she's confessed that although being a parent is hard, she'd love to be able to go back in time and do it again.
Speaking about her and Penn's parenting tips, she explained to The Sunday Times newspaper: "I still worry about them and don't know why they're not calling me back.
"I wish I never gave them TV ... Watch film. We raised them that way. For every terrible movie they wanted to see, we made them watch [Francis Ford] Coppola. Neil Young. Nick Cave. We played that stuff to counter the rap they listened to at school.
"I wish I had to do it all over again."
The 'A Most Wanted Man' actress - who stars as politician's wife Claire Underwood in Netflix TV series 'House of Cards' - added that although she may disapprove of television, she would let her sons watch her hit series.
Quizzed on whether no TV would mean no 'House of Cards', she added: "But that's an education..."

Ben Whishaw says coming out is an "intimate, private and difficult" thing.
The 33-year-old star - who is best known for playing gadget lover Q in James Bond flick 'Skyfall' - has revealed that while he found admitting he was gay difficult, the reactions he received were nowhere near as bad as he was expecting.
Quizzed on whether he'd had to come out to his parents or whether they'd always known, he told The Sunday Times newspaper: "I did have to. It's a phrase I'm not entirely comfortable with, but since it's the only one we have...
"My experiences were not dramatic. No walking around the block. And everyone was surprisingly lovely. I hadn't anticipated that they would be, but they were...
"It's hard to have a conversation with people you've known your whole life about a very intimate thing. It's massively weighted with all sorts of stuff ... It's an intimate and private and difficult conversation for most people."
The 'Cloud Atlas' actor is set to star in 'Lilting' later this year - which tells the story of a man whose partner dies and he is then left struggling to decide whether he should tell the mother about his and her son's relationship - but he claims he didn't take the role so that he could play a gay man.
He explained: "It wasn't so much that, although I can appreciate that that's all there. It was the writing and the sensibility of it. I loved that I was intimate and quiet."
Ben's agent released a statement last year revealing Ben had entered into a civil partnership with Australian composer Mark Bradshaw.

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini may already drop her new married name.
The singer and 'X Factor' judge had changed from her previous name of Cheryl Cole - from her four year marriage to soccer star Ashley Cole - to adopt her new husband Jean-Bernard's surname, but she is already changing it, because people are finding it too hard to say.
The star - who married Frenchman Jean-Bernard in a surprise ceremony in Mustique last month - now wants to be known simply as Cheryl.
A source told the Sunday People newspaper: "It's just Cheryl because everyone seems to be having a hard time saying it."
Cheryl's friend, Louis Walsh, admitted he'd been having trouble with the moniker and had asked restaurateur Jean-Bernard himself for advice.
He said: "He seems to be a really nice guy and he's given me French lessons."
Meanwhile Cheryl's boss on 'The X Factor', Simon Cowell, says she's the happiest she's been in a long time.
He said: "She is amazing, she is in good form. Cheryl is the happiest I have ever seen her in years. She sent me a text when the wedding happened and said 'Are you sitting down?' And then told me the news. But I'm really happy, he's a good guy. I wouldn't be surprised if she did start a family."
Cheryl has also said he French is getting better since marrying Jean-Bernard.

A witness had dialled emergency services to the scene. Billie - who is married to actor Laurence Fox - was questioned by police before being allowed to continue on her way to perform in the play 'Great Britain' at the National Theatre.

Gisele Bundchen has shared a steamy snap of her kissing her husband Tom Brady to celebrate his birthday.
The supermodel posted the shot showing her locking lips with her NFL player husband on Instagram, along with a special message to celebrate his turning 37.
The Brazilian beauty wrote: "Happy birthday my love! Missing you so much... Te amo!!! Feliz aniversário meu amor! Estou com muita saudade... Te amo!!!"
Gisele, 33 married Tom in 2009 and they have two children, Vivian, two and Benjamin, four, together.
The former Victoria's Secret angel appears not to have been able to share her husband's birthday with him, as they both have such busy schedules.
This year alone Gisele has been named the face of H&M, starred in a film for Chanel shot by Baz Luhrmann and modelled for labels including Carolina Herrera, Isabel Marant, Emilio Pucci and Balenciaga.
Gisele has been named the world's high paid supermodel for the last seven years and is reported to have earned around $47 million in the past 12 months according to Forbes magazine, which averages a staggering $148,000 a day.
However, she claims she actually has much less money, saying: "It's sad, because the people who write these things don't have my bank account details.
"I do OK, I earn plenty, but not as much as they say. I've already been audited by the IRS because of this list and, truthfully, whether I'm on this list or not doesn't interest me."
