We consider ourselves to be pretty knowledgeable when it comes to Chrises, but even we've got to admit Jeff Goldblum's got a leg up on us.

After all, he's starred with not one but two of them in the past year: Hemsworth in Thor: Ragnarok, and now Pratt in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

And in case you were wondering, yes, he does have a favorite Chris.

"I've always liked... um..." Goldblum began when Mashable asked him to choose during the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom press tour.

"Who is the lady tennis player? Chris Evert. I think Chris Evert is a wonderful exemplar of Chris-dom."

Which isn't to say Goldblum doesn't appreciate the core four Hollywood Chrises. He had kind words to say about both of his recent Chris co-stars.

"Chris Hemsworth, with whom I've pretended, is a sparkling human being and a stunning actor," he said. "Chris Pratt is the king of the species, and a better, more talented hunk of man, I don't think we have among us."

"All good Chrises. All great Chrises. A foursome. They should be the Beatles," he laughed. "Of course," he added, "there's Kris Kringle." And, after a beat: "I guess there's Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. If you go for that meat-eating."

Goldblum and Pratt's co-star, Bryce Dallas Howard, had a similarly tough time picking a favorite. "Here's the thing: I know all four," she told Mashable. "So it's very difficult to choose between the Chrises."

Instead, Howard took a minute to extoll the virtues of each Chris individually:

Chris Hemsworth has been very good to my dad. They've worked together multiple times. He's lovely.

Piney [Editor's note: Piney!], I knew before any of the Chrises. I met him when I was going to school at NYU, and we've got a ton of mutual friends, and he's always been super cool to me.

Chris Evans, I did a movie with Chris Evans ten years ago, and absolutely fell in love. I adore him. He is so fun. Has this secret passion for musical theater that I just can't get over.

And Chris Pratt certainly doesn't suck. He's my franchise hubby.

So there you have it: Hollywood stars are just into the Chrises as the rest of us. As if there were ever any doubt.
