Chris Pratt reveals what he learned from his father-in-law Arnold Schwarzenegger

Chris Pratt reveals what he learned from his father-in-law Arnold Schwarzenegger

Chris Pratt appreciates being able to rely on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “wisdom” when he needs advice.
The 44-year-old actor is married to the Terminator star’s daughter Katherine – with whom he has three-year-old Lyla and two-year-old Eloise – and, having been born into a working-class family in Virginia, Minnesota, he’s happy to talk about things like raising a family in the spotlight with someone who has experienced all the trappings of fame.
He said on the US television show “Extra”: “Not everyone can say their father-in-law is the Terminator, but mine will literally kill me. He has the experience of raising children in the spotlight and being an actor, a well-known person and a celebrity, and it’s really great to be able to draw on the wisdom of his experience and talk to him about certain things that I would normally talk about with my brother or my cousin or the people I grew up with, and who maybe can’t relate to certain things.”
The Hollywood star currently voices the title role of the famous orange tabby cat in the film “Garfield: The Movie.” When asked about the best advice he ever received from his father-in-law, he joked that his father-in-law always referred to the film he was promoting in interviews because “nobody” could ever sell a film like Arnold.
He said: “He says every time you do an interview you come back to the movie you’re talking about, ‘Garfield,’ which comes out on May 24th.
“Nobody has ever sold a movie like he does… He knows how to sell himself… He is one of a kind. He is a GOAT, a legend, and there will never be anyone like him again.”
