To this, Pratt replied, “I’ve learned now. Yeah, I’ve learned now.”
Recollecting his struggle with the surname, Kimmel said, “I have to tell you, when he was governor and I used to have to write it a lot when we were doing the monologue, and every time I have to really think about it.”
Agreeing with Kimmel, Pratt added, “Yeah, it’s a long name.”
“There are a lot of letters in these children’s names. Schwarzenegger is the second middle name,” the actor said about his daughters, who have inherited both parents’ surnames.
However, the Guardians of the Galaxy star mentioned that it was not Schwarzenegger’s decision to include the surname in the kids’ names.
“No, no, that was Katherine. She’s got his strength, and what mama says goes,” Chris Pratt said, confirming it was his wife’s choice.
