Chris Pratt’s surprising decision: Seeking guidance beyond Arnold Schwarzenegger
Many people might think that the Jurassic World actor would depend only on his father-in-law, Arnold Schwarzenegger, a legendary bodybuilding figure, for advice.

As a result, Pratt’s choice to seek other opinions shows his open-mindedness and readiness to try new things to achieve the desired look for ‘GOTG Vol. 3’.
