Before Chris Pratt became a successful Hollywood actor, the 43-year-old admitted he stripped down for a different kind of audition. 

Pratt recently confessed one of his "toughest" auditions was at a male strip club called Mr. Paddywack’s in Edmonds, Washington, when he was 18 years old. 

"It was in the middle of the day, and the place was nasty," Pratt began his story during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

Pratt then revealed his strip club song that he prepared for his risqué audition. 

"I put on the song "Pony" [by] Ginuwine… way too slow," he quipped.

The "Guardians of the Galaxy" star detailed his experience and said he was awkwardly dancing for only one guy during his audition.

"I walked out and the guy was like, ‘Yeah, you should come back and work here,’" Pratt continued.

He responded with "Okay, cool," and left the male strip club. 

The actor added that he almost considered taking the gig once he saw another male dancer in the parking lot with a "mid-'80s Toyota Tercel."

"He’s got a pretty sick car… maybe I ought to come back," he laughed.

"Make a little money, get myself a Toyota. But, no, I ended up not going back."
