Today, Pratt issued a note of condolence about McFarr’s death via Instagram, writing that he was “Devastated to hear about the loss of my friend and former stunt double.

Writing on his Instagram Story today, Pratt wrote of their friendship, saying, “We golfed, drank whiskey, smoked cigars, and spent endless hours on set. I’ll never forget his toughness.” Pratt went on to describe a well-known incident from the filming of the opening sequence of Guardians Vol. 2, in which McFarr received a head injury that required multiple staples. “He came right back to work ready to go again. He was an absolute stud.
