In a long, long list of people Chris Pratt thanked during his acceptance speech at the MTV Movie Awards he made sure to save the best until last.

Pratt took home the golden popcorn award for Best Action Performance for his role in Jurassic World at the ceremony in California on Sunday.

The 36-year-old made sure to thank a host of actors and actresses renowned for their work in the action genre who have inspired him. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone,and Jackie Chan were mentioned as were female action heroes Brigitte Nielsen and Cynthia Rothrock.

Last but not least he saved his wife, the actress Anna Faris, who he credited with ensuring their son grows up to be intelligent.

“Of course, my wife Anna Faris, darling our son was destined by tough but thanks to you he’s going to be smart too,” he said after reeling off practically 20 other names.

The popular couple married in 2009 and had their son Jack in 2012. Last year Faris told James Corden she knew Pratt was the “man of her dreams” when she discovered they both had matching dead bug collections.
