During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the former governor of California referred to Pratt as a “fantastic guy” and “a great son-in-law.” Also, in a 2018 interview with Extra TV, Schwarzenegger praised Pratt’s performance in the movie Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, saying that he thought The Tomorrow War actor did a fantastic job and that he was very proud of him.

During the interview,  Pratt shared his feelings about the appreciation he received from Schwarzenegger. He revealed that he was overwhelmed by the praise, not only because it came from his father-in-law, but also because the Terminator star was someone he had idolized while growing up.

“Arnold’s support means the world to me on a couple of different levels. Just being his son-in-law and being part of his family, it obviously means a lot to have his support,” he gushed to the news outlet. “But then on another level, just being somebody who grew up loving his movies, the big action hero — I dreamed of being ‘Commando’ and dreamed of being the soldier from Predator, and I loved Terminator. So him to give me kudos for going out and being on the marquee is really kind of mind-blowing.”
