The 37-year-old actor – who has four-year-old son Jack with wife Anna Faris, 40 – had no experience with kids at the time of the potentially-tragic incident, in which he fell asleep while watching a friends’ son and daughter but fortunately found the young boy in the cooker eating a plant.

Speaking on ‘Good Morning America, he said: “I was not a good babysitter, I wasn’t qualified. I was the youngest child and had never really been around kids and I was like, ‘I can babysit, 20 dollars I’ll do it.’

“And then I would be like, ‘Well I’m guess I’m here’ and the one point I remember was, I was babysitting this little boy and his sister, and I fell asleep on the couch and I woke up and he was in the oven, he was eating a plant in an oven.

“I’m not lying this is a serious story.”

The Jurassic World actor reassured the show’s audience that the oven was switched off and he wouldn’t be making the same mistake with his own son.

Chris said: “He’s four now, I have a little more experience.”

He then jokingly apologising to the child’s mother who he hoped was watching.

The show’s panellists also touched upon his on-screen chemistry with co-star Jennifer Lawrence in upcoming sci-fi movie Passengers, in which the pair’s characters fall in love after being awakened 90 years too early when their ship malfunctions.

Speaking of his co-star, Chris said: “Thankfully, she’s beautiful on the inside.

“Honestly, her sense of humour. She’s really, really funny. She totally rolls with the punches. She’s genuinely hilarious. We laughed every day, all day making this movie.”
