While it’s too soon to tell if Chris Pratt’s 3-month-old son, Ford, inherited his acting chops, there is one physical trait his famous father passed down to him.
“He didn’t get my eyes but he got my long butt crack,” Pratt, 45, joked on the Monday, February 24, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “That’s a genetic thing and I’ll tell you, most of it goes up. I don’t know why.”
Pratt noted that the trait is something his father, Daniel, also had “plumbers butt,” and that he and his brother, Curly, would prank their dad by putting sawdust and nails down his pants without him noticing.
“[My dad] must have routinely had sawdust and 16 penny nails in his underwear, ‘cause I feel like that’s the kind of thing you go, ‘Hey! What the hell?’” he shared. “But no, not him.” (Pratt’s father died in 2014 from multiple sclerosis.)
Katherine Schwarzenegger Gives Glimpse of Her and Chris Pratt’s Newborn Son
Pratt welcomed Ford with his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, in November 2024. “We are overjoyed to announce the birth of our son, Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt,” the couple wrote in a joint Instagram statement. “Mama and baby are doing well and Ford’s siblings are thrilled by his arrival. We feel so blessed and grateful. Love, Katherine and Chris.”
Pratt became a first-time father with the birth of his son, Jack, in 2012 with his ex-wife, Anna Faris. He went on to wed Schwarzenegger, 35, in 2019, and the two have since welcomed daughters Lila, 4, and Eloise, 2.
The actor shared a hilarious photo of his baby boy via Instagram last month. “S— happens,” he captioned a photo of Schwarzenegger, 35, holding Ford, who had a diaper blowout.
Pratt gushed about his family’s latest addition on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “He’s a really, really chill baby. He’s sleeping. I sleep through the whole night, but Mama’s breastfeeding, so she’s up every couple of hours,” he told host Jimmy Kimmel. “But he is really chilled. He’s not colicky or anything, he’s not super loud. He’s got this look on his face at all times that I just call ‘resting bewilderment face.’”
Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger: A Timeline of Their Relationship
When it comes to his parenting techniques, Pratt said he tries not to copy the “tough” and “old school” way his father raised him. “I’m trying to do something different,” he said before noting, “But the result is they do not fear me at all. … I get no respect.”
Pratt and Schwarzenegger took a night off from parenting duties to attend the Los Angeles premiere of Pratt’s new Netflix film, The Electric State, on Monday. The Marvel star sported some color on the black carpet, rocking a lilac-colored suit and matching shirt. He completed his monochromatic look with a pair of white dress shoes.
Schwarzenegger, meanwhile, got all glammed-up to support her husband at the event. Her white pumps complemented the white flower decals on her strapless black top and pants.
