Denzel Washington has high praise for his "Magnificent Seven" co-star Chris Pratt.
The two-time Oscar winner opened up about the "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Jurassic World" star, noting the similarities between Pratt and his "Philadelphia" co-star Tom Hanks.
"Chris is great," Washington gushed to ABC Radio's "GMA After Hours" host Lynda Lopez. "I can see why he's so popular. There's another actor that I worked with, whatever, 20 years ago, by the name of Hanks who had that same quality about them, that you just really like them -- aside from their obvious talent, they're good people and it comes across on screen."

"Wow," the actor said, obviously moved. "Now I feel like I have to repay a compliment with a compliment."
"Denzel's a legend," he continued. "I learned a lot just watching him. He may be the greatest living actor and one of the greatest actors of all time."
Washington leads a ragtag group of allies against a bloodthirsty businessman in "The Magnificent Seven," which also stars Vincent D'Onofrio and Ethan Hawke. The movie opens Friday.
