Chris Pratt Reveals the ‘Old School’ Parenting Rule Wife Katherine Schwarzenegger Strictly Enforces
March 20, 2026 - 01:36
Actor Chris Pratt may be voicing a beloved video game icon, but at home, he's just dad. In a recent interview, Pratt revealed that his wife, author Katherine Schwarzenegger, strictly enforces an "old school" parenting rule that keeps their family life grounded: their children are not permitted to watch movies or shows featuring their famous father.
Pratt explained that this rule, which applies to his blockbuster roles in franchises like Guardians of the Galaxy and the upcoming The Super Mario Bros. Movie, is about maintaining normalcy. He fully supports Schwarzenegger's approach, noting it helps the kids see him as their parent first, not as a screen character. He humorously admitted this means he gets no special credit or "cool points" from his young daughters for his cinematic adventures.
The couple, who share two daughters, prioritize a childhood centered on imagination and simple pleasures over Hollywood glitz. Pratt expressed admiration for his wife's parenting philosophy, emphasizing their shared commitment to raising their children with a strong sense of family and traditional values away from the spotlight. This conscious choice, they believe, fosters a stable and loving home environment.
