Recalling his first encounter with Pratt, Arnold shared that the first thing Chris Pratt asked him was to work out together. He further revealed that while working out, Pratt wanted all the “inside scoop” of the pumping iron. On that note, Kimmel asked who does more bench presses between the two.
To this Arnold said, “You know I really don’t know because I haven’t bench pressed for a while. Because my shoulder are kind of injured. But, he is a strong guy, there is no two ways about it. And that I’m very proud of him. And like I just said, when I saw him make those moves in the gym. You know the incline press specifically did it, why I want him to become my son-in-law.” Seeing Arnold’s response, it seems like Pratt had all the boxes ticked to be his son-in-law.
