Chris Pratt is one of the biggest movie stars in the world, appearing in megahits like “Guardians of the Galaxy” and the “Avengers” sequels, but his kids have no idea – at least not right now.

Pratt shares three children with his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, and told “Today’s” Craig Melvin they’ve never seen a movie.
“My 5-year-old, my 3-year-old and my 1-year-old have never seen movies,” Pratt said. “Katherine is very old-school when it comes to screens and technology and all of that stuff. So, we’re waiting.”
Pratt, who is also a dad to 13-year-old Jack with ex-wife Anna Faris, is looking forward to when his younger kids start watching screens.
“There’s gonna be a season, they’re gonna realize their dad is really cool,” he joked. “They haven’t realized it yet, but one day.”
Meanwhile, Jack gets perks as the oldest of Pratt’s kids, tagging along to premieres with his dad.
“My 13-year-old, I took him to a screening of the first movie,” he said of the “Super Mario Bros. Movie,” in which he voiced the video game hero, Mario. “He thinks it’s pretty cool.”
Pratt and Schwarzenegger tied the knot in 2019, and the “Lego Movie” star revealed they made sure they were on the same page when it came to their beliefs before marrying.

“We also had a ceremony at St. Monica’s Church and a part of getting married at St. Monica’s church is doing premarital counseling,” he told his “Parks & Recreation” co-star Rob Lowe on SiriusXM’s “Literally! With Rob Lowe” podcast. “We did like, six sessions with this guy who was, by the way, the best thing in the world.”
“They ask you questions you would not even think to answer until you have been married for eight years,” he continued, “and then something comes up and you’re like, ‘What do you mean that’s how you think about that?’ And then you have to negotiate it then.”
He explained they went through a list of “300 potential landmines” and figured them out before the wedding.

“That way, if you have an issue, you talk about it and you hash it out, every single one. If you agree on it, you move on. But if there’s things you disagree on, you hash it out and you do the work to figure out why are you coming from this.”
