Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Son-in-Law Chris Pratt Opens Up on Having Issues Learning His Legendary Name

People hailing from different parts of the world have different cultures and traditions. With distinct roots, other differences are also observed, including surnames. Sometimes these surnames can be hard to pronounce because of their unfamiliarity. Bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger faced a similar predicament after rising to fame in the 1970s.

The bodybuilder-turned-actor, who has an Austrian heritage, has a long surname with four syllables. Considering the syllables, it may not seem difficult to pronounce or spell. Yet people find it tough to spell due to its foreign origins.

Recollecting his struggle with the surname, Kimmel said, “I have to tell you, when he was governor and I used to have to write it a lot when we were doing the monologue, and every time I have to really think about it.”

Agreeing with Kimmel, Pratt added, “Yeah, it’s a long name.”

“There are a lot of letters in these children’s names. Schwarzenegger is the second middle name,” the actor said about his daughters, who have inherited both parents’ surnames.

However, the Guardians of the Galaxy star mentioned that it was not Schwarzenegger’s decision to include the surname in the kids’ names.

“No, no, that was Katherine. She’s got his strength, and what mama says goes,” Chris Pratt said, confirming it was his wife’s choice.
