Pratt was born in 1947 and grew up in the midlands. He studied at the incredible London Film School, even going on to collaborate with filmmaker Terry Gilliam across his career after the pair met on Monty Python and the Holy Grail set. Recalling meeting the Brit legend, Gilliam talked of something going wrong during filming, when Pratt swooped in to help.

He said: "This guy said, ‘Just give me a moment’ and in a few minutes, while we were still faffing around, he had run all the way down the mountain, forded the river, run up the other side, into the camera truck, grabbed the right lens and here it was.
"We stuck it on the camera and got the shot. That was the moment I fell in love with Roger.". More to follow... For the latest news on this story keep checking back at The Sun Online.
