Arnold Schwarzenegger never expected his daughter, Katherine, will marry an actor.
Katherine Schwarzenegger married Guardians of the Galaxy actor Chris Pratt last year and they welcomed their first child together, Lyla, in August.
Recently, the cast of Kindergarten Cop, had a virtual reunion and the 73-year-old actor talked about how his role in the film helped him in raising his children.
He said, “This movie really helped me become a better parent myself with my kids. After that my daughter [Katherine] was born in 1990. She was then one year old.”
The former politician also gushed about being a first-time grandpa sharing, “As soon as my daughter gave birth to this beautiful baby girl, Lyla, as soon as that happened, I got hundreds of congratulations and gifts and all kinds of stuff and I said, ‘Wait a minute, I didn’t do anything.’ So this is why it’s great to be a grandfather because you get all the credit and you get so many gifts and so many good wishes and all this stuff and no responsibility.”
Arnold is very proud of his eldest child but he never expected her to marry an actor. “I’m really proud of my daughters, and Katherine is a winner. And I never, ever thought that my daughter is going to marry an actor,” he admitted. “I said to myself she probably will be sick and tired of me dragging her to the sets and always having them watch me blowing up buildings and killing people and stuff.”
He also shared how his work would occasionally scare his young daughter.
“I was in the middle of shooting Terminator 2 and so she saw me with half of the face was gone and the eye was coming out and all this weird makeup and so she started screaming and crying on the set because she did not understand why Daddy looked like that,” he shared.
He continued, “Now she married an actor, and Chris is a fantastic guy and really easy to get along with and so I’m really happy because he has been such a really wonderful, wonderful husband to her and such a great son-in-law.”
Looks like Arnold is more than happy for his daughter though he never expected her to marry someone like himself, an actor.
