Arnold Schwarzenegger is ready to jump back into action: ‘older people don’t retire, they just reload’

Chris Pratt considers himself lucky to call Arnold Schwarzenegger family.
Pratt married Schwarzenegger's daughter Katherine five years ago, and they share two daughters. While speaking to Extra, the actor talked about what a "blessing" it is to be able to go to Schwarzenegger for advice.
"He has the experience of raising kids in the spotlight and being an actor, a well-known person, and a celebrity," Pratt explained. "It’s really great to have the wisdom of his experience to go to and to talk to about certain things that normally I would talk to my brother or my cousin or people that I grew up with and they might not be able to relate with certain things."

He continued, "So with him, it's been a real blessing to have someone that I can turn to and ask questions."
Pratt called Schwarzenegger a "smart, articulate dude," and added, "He’s got a really great point of view, and it has definitely enriched my life."
The "Jurassic World" star spoke to the outlet to promote his new film, "The Garfield Movie," which is set to be released next week.
When asked about the best piece of advice his father-in-law has given him, Pratt answered, "He says anytime you’re doing an interview, you always go back to the film that you’re talking about, ‘Garfield,’ which opens May 24."

With a laugh, he continued, explaining, "He talks about the campaign trail of a movie, and so just talking to him about that, it's pretty great. I don't think anyone ever sold a movie like him. He can just go out and sell a movie, he knows how to talk to people, he knows how to sell himself."
"He’s a one of kind. He is a GOAT, a legend, and there will never be anyone like him again."
