Chris Pratt recently shared a delightful anecdote about a unique gift he received from his father-in-law, Arnold Schwarzenegger, during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show. Known for his extravagant gift-giving, Schwarzenegger surprised Pratt and his family with a six-by-eight-foot portrait of their three children—Lyla, 5, Eloise, 3, and Ford, 14 months—depicting the kids alongside him dressed as Santa Claus.
Describing the artwork as “the most beautiful portrait you’ve ever seen,” Pratt emphasized its lifelike quality and significant size. Despite his admiration for the gift, the Guardians of the Galaxy star humorously confessed that they were uncertain about how to display such an imposing piece for the rest of the year.
In addition to his unique gifting style, Arnold Schwarzenegger has shown interest in collaborating with Pratt professionally, potentially bringing their family bond to the big screen. His love for his family is evident, as he shares not only his daughter Katherine with Maria Shriver but also a diverse group of children, including Patrick and Christina Schwarzenegger.
The playful exchange highlights the warm and supportive family dynamic between Pratt and the Schwarzenegger clan, showcasing how humor and creativity play a significant role in their relationships. It’s a delightful reminder of the joy that comes from family connections and the special memories created through thoughtful gestures.
