Star-Lord Chris Pratt Didn’t Know What to Call the Gift Arnold Schwarzenegger Once Got for Him From “Oberammergau in Germany”

Bodybuilder-turned-Hollywood megastar actor Arnold Schwarzenegger welcomed Guardians of the Galaxy fame actor Chris Pratt into the family when the latter married his eldest daughter Katherine. After six months of engagement, the duo decided to tie the knot and make things official. When Chris joined the Schwarzenegger clan, he came across a different side of Arnold—the side that usually remains hidden from the public glare and the media limelight.

Speaking about it back in a 2022 interview, the father of three opened up. Going candid about his father-in-law, Chris re-introduced the Terminator star from a different perspective. Fans know how the kind Schwarzenegger has perfected the art of gift-giving. To further added flavor to the iconic personality, Chris revealed how unique his gifts are.

Seating for a talk with the team of Men’s Health, the Jurassic World star revealed, “Gift giving is absolutely one of his love languages.” Usually known for playing tough roles in movies like Terminator, Expandables, Predator, and more, Schwarzenegger is known for his no-nonsense attitude. Ex-politician by profession, the former California Governor’s personality can easily intimidate anybody.

But breaking free from the on-screen picture, son-in-law Pratt talked extensively about the softer side of Schwarzenegger. Explaining how thoughtful the ex-army official can get, the young actor said, “The most thoughtful gifts you could imagine, like quilts with all of the baby’s pictures on it.” However, sometimes the gifts are so unique that he does not even know what to call them.

Sharing more, Chris also added how Arnold gifted them wooden statues from the “Oberammergau in [Germany].” They, as Chris recalled, are perhaps called nativity statues. Much like his father-in-law, Chris Pratt, too, loves to work out in the gym. Back in 2019, the Austrian Oak revealed what helped him most to bond with his son-in-law.

That one habit that helped reduce the gap between the two 

Schwarzenegger played it cool when he, for the first time, realized that his daughter Katherine was going to marry Chris Pratt. He pulled his daughter’s leg and asked in good humor whether it was necessary to marry a guy who was taller than him, but he was thrilled to have Pratt in the family. Though there was a little distance between the two, there was something that helped to break the ice. Their common love for the gym helped the two bond over and connect.

Speaking about it, Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed in a 2019 Jimmy Kimmel Live episode that Chris Pratt, on their first encounter, asked him to work out together. Further, he also revealed that while they were working together, a curious Chris Pratt wanted all the “inside scoop” of the pumping iron. Fast forward to current times, they are often spotted together spending quality time with each other.
