Watch: Chris Pratt Reveals the Hilarious Gift He Got From Arnold SchwarzeneggerWhat do you get for someone who already has everything? Evidently, Arnold Schwarzenegger has solved the problem. After all, the Terminator star's son-in-law Chris Pratt-who shares kids Lyla, 5, Eloise, 3, and Ford, 14 months with wife Katherine Schwarzenegger-shared the unusual, but touching gift his family received from him. "Arnie's love language is going all out with the gifts," Chris explained during a Jan. 8 appearance on The Graham Norton Show. "One of ours was a six-by-eight-foot portrait painting of our three children and him dressed as Santa Claus." And he assured, it's "the most beautiful portrait you've ever seen," adding, it's "very lifelike and very big." Nevertheless, the Guardians of the Galaxy alum-who is also dad to Jack, 13, with ex Anna Faris-admitted it was a bit much, noting, "We're not sure what we're meant to do with it for the rest of the year." In addition to his penchant for perfect presents, Arnold-who is dad to Katherine, 36, as well as Christina Schwarzenegger, 33, Patrick Schwarzenegger, 32, and Christopher Schwarzenegger, 28, with ex Maria Shriver, as well as Joseph Baena, 28, with Mildred Baena-has expressed his interest in sharing the love for Chris on the big screen. readArnold Schwarzenegger Makes Rare Appearance With Sons Patrick, Christopher Schwarzenegger"It's one of those things that if there's a great script, then of course, we would do it," Arnold told E! News last June. "But you can't just make up this stuff. You can't just say, 'OK, let's just put the three together in a movie and not have a great script.'" And Chris isn't the only actor in Arnold's family anymore. After Patrick's breakout performance on the last season of The White Lotus his dad isn't shutting down appearing alongside his eldest son, either. Matt Baron/BEI/ShutterstockAs Arnold put it, "Whenever I see something good, I am interested in it, so we will see." Indeed, the 78-year-old emphasized his pride in Patrick's performance in the Mike White series during an appearance at the Sun Valley Film Festival late last year. "I couldn't wait for the next episode and then the next episode," Arnold mused. "I mean, you get addicted to this stuff. Of course, he just really killed it. Unbelievable, his performance." From gifts to possible roles, Chris is clearly a seasoned member of the Schwarzenegger family. Keep reading for a deeper look at his family with Katherine...

That's because the actor's kids Katherine Schwarzenegger, Christina Schwarzenegger, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Chris Schwarzenegger (with ex-wife Maria Shriver) and Joseph Baena (with former housekeeper Mildred Baena) are all grown up.
So, these days, his favorite title is no longer dad-but grandpa to Katherine and husband Chris Pratt's three kids together: Lyla, Eloise and Ford."It's the easiest thing to be a grandfather," Arnold told Jimmy Kimmel in 2022. "They come over to the house, you play with Lyla for around an hour or two, put her on the horse, put her with the dog. And after two hours, they leave."Denise Truscello/Getty ImagesMaria ShriverMaria wed Arnold in 1986, but filed for divorce in 2011 after she learned he had fathered a child through his affair.
And her son-in-law Chris applauds the way the former first lady of California and her ex co-parented in the spotlight."She and Arnold raised four amazing kids, and that's not always an easy thing to do," the Guardians of the Galaxy actor told Today in May 2024. "You see people in Hollywood or people who've got a lot of privilege, and they end up kind of raising rotten kids. So I just want to kind of ask her everything. 'What'd you do? How did you not spoil them? How did you not ruin them?'"The apparent secret, Chris added, "I think she holds them accountable. When Maria walks in the room, you stand up. She's big on manners, and she's big on accountability, and she's deeply rooted in her faith. These are all things that I definitely want to take and implement in the rearing of our children."

And while having parents in the business is great and all, he's also credited his brother-in-law Chris with helping him nab one plum part."I remember when Chris said, 'Hey you know there's this young role, Donny Mitchell, you'll be the youngest in the platoon," Patrick told Jimmy Kimmel in 2022 of booking a gig in the Amazon Prime Video series The Terminal List. "'But if you want to get this role, I need you to go and try to get into character and really get this. I need you to gain 20 pounds and start tactical training, and know how they move, the body language, all this stuff.'" Having the chance to train with real-life Navy SEALs, he added, was "a dream come true." And more pinch-me moments have followed, with the actor going on
