“Ate Garbage From a Dumpster”: Married to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Daughter, Chris Pratt Made a Shocking Confession in 2014

Arnold Schwarzenegger lived in poverty during childhood, which increased his zeal to become successful in life. He embarked on becoming the best bodybuilder and earned seven prestigious Mr. Olympia titles. He soon became a superstar in Hollywood and ventured into politics. His net worth as of now is $450 Million. His son-in-law, Chris Pratt, also has a similar story. 

Schwarzenegger is a father of five, and his eldest daughter, Katherine Schwarzenegger, married Chris Pratt in 2019. The couple are blessed with two girls. Despite being the superhero of the MCU, Pratt had to undergo difficulties earlier in life. 

Chris Pratt once shared his underprivileged years of life

While Arnold Schwarzenegger built a brick business to ensure a stable revenue in his early days, Pratt worked as a waiter to make ends meet. But as destiny would be, both became the stars of Hollywood. The son-in-law opened up about his humble beginnings in 2014. Pratt left college in his teens and took to selling coupons before landing in Hawaii for some job, per Independent.

Speaking of his experience on the Islands, he said, “It’s a pretty awesome place to be homeless.” However, he instantaneously added, “It would be different if I lived on the streets of Chicago and ate garbage from a dumpster.” The 44-year-old also revealed how his family sustained help from food banks to People.

The actor received his film opportunity while working as a waiter. He happened to meet Rae Dawn Chong, who cast him in her directorial venture, Cursed Part 3. Hence began his Hollywood career. Not just Pratt, his $450 Million father-in-law has also been transparent about the hardships in his childhood.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s childhood experiences

The Austrian Oak was born a couple of years after World War II ended in the war-stricken Austrian village of Thal. His parents couldn’t provide more, and Arnie lived in poverty. Narrating about his childhood circumstances, the 76-year-old once confessed he had to borrow meals, wore the clothes of his brother, and rarely traveled. 

But the depth of his destitution can be reflected when he desires a banana from his hospital roommate. “I had never had a banana before in my entire life, so I thought I would give it a shot and asked him if I could have his peel,” he once confessed. But Arnie changed his life with vision and positivity.
