Chris Pratt seems to have predicted the future five years ago.

Filming a behind-the-scenes featurette for Parks & Recreation season 2, the star actor joked about being contacted by Steven Spielberg.

“I just got a text from Steven Spielberg, so annoying,” he said. 

He joked that he was busy filming the featurette. “I'll have to get back to you later about Jurassic Park 4.”

Pratt was later cast in the lead role for the upcoming addition to the Jurassic Parks series, dubbed Jurassic World.

“[Expletive] crazy!!! WHAAATT!!??” Pratt said via Twitter when a fan sent him a link to his previous jokes. 

“What’s so crazy is I filmed that 5 years ago!!! I don’t even remember doing it! Plus I had juuuust read the secret! (Last part not true),” he said. 

Jurassic World is also set to star Bryce Dallas Howard, Jake Johnson, Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinson, and Irrfan Khan, among others.

Spielberg is one of the producers while Colin Trevorrow is directing.

The movie is set to hit theaters on June 12, 2015, and filming has begun in Hawaii. 

Pratt later shared on Facebook what he’s been doing lately.

“Went fishing today and spent quality time with my family. Now for some night work on Jurassic World. I am feeling much gratitude for all the people involved in the film and the folks here in Hawaii for being so welcoming. Thank you! #‎GodBlessHawaii‬”
