Arnold Schwarzenegger admits it was Chris Pratt’s abs that made him welcome the actor into his family with open arms.
Schwarzenegger says of Pratt marrying his daughter Katherine: “I was, like, blown away when my daughter was telling me that she was going out with him.”
He adds during an appearance on Monday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”: “Because, I say to myself, ‘You have to be so competitive? Do you have to have a guy that’s taller than me? That is bigger than me? That is doing bigger movies than me? And all this kind of stuff. That makes more money than me? What is going on here?’
“Of course, the first thing when we met, he says, ‘Can we ever work out together? I need to have the inside scoop to pumping iron.’ So I took him to the gym and we worked out.”
Schwarzenegger continues, “He’s a strong guy, there’s no two ways about it. I’m very proud of him… When I watched him make these moves in the gym, you know, the incline press specifically did it. Why I wanted him to become my son-in-law, it was the incline press.”
The “Terminator” star’s appearance comes after he told ET he’d be up for starring in a movie with his son-in-law, but it’s not something they’ve discussed as of yet.
