Chris Pratt Discusses Blowing through his first big Hollywood paycheck.

During an interview, Chris Pratt, now starring in "The Garfield Movie," recalled his first paycheck after breaking into Hollywood. And he also remembers blowing through it in the blink of an eye. And his interviewer wondered if Pratt's modest beginnings meant it was difficult to spend his money after earning a big payday. The short answer? No! "Oh, no. No. No. I was under the impression that I would never run out of money," answered Pratt while bursting into laughter. "The first paycheck I got, I was like, 'Are you serious?' I had lived on very little money for a long time, so the first big job I got ... was a TV movie. I got paid $75,000."

Pratt, who would later helm the Jurassic Park and Guardians of the Galaxy franchises, said he visited Maui, Australia and traveled the world thinking the money well wouldn't run dry. But it did. In a flash.

"We never had any money growing up. No one ever taught me financial literacy. I didn't know what to do with money. It was like, it would come in, I would spend it," he said. "It took a good amount of time for me to kind of stop and say, 'All right, I gotta get wise about this. I have to think about, 'What am I gonna do? How am I gonna get to the point to where if I stop working one day, I'll still be OK? My family will be OK.' So, kind of coming up with a financial literacy plan, you know, later in my life was sort of one of the steps of me growing up."
