Kimmel recalled about Katherine’s famous dad Arnold Schwarzenegger, “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.”
“Yeah,” said Pratt, “it’s a long name. There are a lot of letters in these children’s names. Schwarzenegger is the second middle name. We didn’t hyphenate the names, it’s a middle name, but I guess maybe that’s semantics.”
Kimmel then asked, “Did Arnold insist on that? Was he like, ‘My name needs to be in there’?” Responded theTerminal Liststar, “No, no, that was Katherine. She’s got his strength, and what mama says goes.”
Speaking withMen’s Healthrecently, Pratt praised his famous father-in-law’s gift-giving skills.
