Chris Pratt reveals a surprising and heart-warming Arnold Schwarzenegger fact. Before taking the role of Peter Quill/Star-Lord in the massively popular MCU film Guardians of the Galaxy, Pratt rose to fame on the NBC comedy series Parks and Recreation as the affable Andy Dwyer. Since his explosive superhero role, the actor has been a part of many prominent films, such as The Lego Movie, The Tomorrow War, and the Jurassic World franchise. Pratt can be next seen in the highly anticipated MCU Phase 4 entry Thor: Love and Thunder.

Along with his quickly rising career, Pratt’s personal life has been relatively high-profile as well. In 2009, the actor married Scary Movie star Anna Faris and stayed together for eight years. In 2018, Pratt became engaged to Katherine Schwarzenegger, daughter of the world-renowned action star and bodybuilding icon, and they were married a year later. Pratt and Arnold Schwarzenegger have both talked publicly about their relationship as father- and son-in-law, and how they have bonded over their love of Katherine, as well as of working out.

Now, in an interview with Men’s Health, Pratt shares a surprising fact about Schwarzenegger. The actor reveals that gift-giving is one of The Terminator star’s love languages, and that he’s received a number of thoughtful gifts from him already. Read what Pratt says below:
Gift giving is absolutely one of his love languages. The most thoughtful gifts you could imagine, like quilts with all of the baby’s pictures on it. He gave us these—I don’t know what you’d call them—like statues carved out of wood. Nativity statues. They’re from Oberammergau in [Germany].
Along with gift giving, words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service, and physical touch complete the list of possible love languages. Pratt explains The Terminator franchise star prefers giving gifts to express his affection toward his family and friends, choosing unique items that reflect his distinct life experiences as well as what connects him to the receiver. The actor may present as the ultimate tough guy on screen, but Pratt’s anecdote reveals a thoughtful, caring person beneath Schwarzenegger’s gruff exterior.
Pratt is currently considered one of the top leading men in the film industry today. With a starring role in two of the year’s most anticipated films, Jurassic World Dominion and Thor: Love and Thunder, the actor is lucky to have a support system through his family that keeps him grounded. With Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Super Mario Bros., and an animated Garfield movie on the way, Pratt has another exciting year ahead that will take him all over the world and away from his family, and it seems like a gift from Schwarzenegger is the perfect thing to take the sting off the time apart.
