Back in 2019, Arnold Schwarzenegger made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and shared how his son-in-law, Chris Pratt won his heart. He shared how he wanted to know the ‘inside scoop’ which is how he hit the gym together with the former.

“And of course the first thing when we met he says, ‘Can we have a workout together? I need to have the inside scoop to the pumping iron.’

He continued,

“Pumping iron was the decision-making factor. We were in the gym, that was it.”

Pratt’s one stunt totally made the Terminator star’s mind to have him as his son-in-law.

“And like I just said, when I watched him make his moves in the gym, the incline press specifically did it,” he said. “It’s why I wanted him to become my son-in-law was the incline press.”

Not only he impressed the Pumping Iron star with his gym tactics but asked for his daughter’s hands in a “very traditional way” before proposing to his love.
