Chris Pratt’s Hilarious Dad Confessions About Baby Ford’s Quirks and Family Traits
Chris Pratt’s latest appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is ripe with the kind of heartwarming hilarity that only a new dad can deliver. The 45-year-old actor, who welcomed his son Ford with wife Katherine Schwarzenegger three months ago, shared some sweet—and absurd—insights into fatherhood. It seems little Ford is already copying his dad’s calm demeanor, described by Pratt as having a “resting bewilderment face,” making it sound like baby Ford could step right into a role on “The Office.”
Pratt told the audience, “He’s a really, really chill baby,” while giving a cheeky nod to Katherine’s breastfeeding duties that keep her up at night. But while Ford may be all tranquility now, soon he’ll almost certainly disrupt that idyllic calm with his family heritage—evidently inherited from his dad: Pratt joked about Ford’s “long butt crack” being a genetic trait. “He didn’t get my eyes but he got my long butt crack. That’s a genetic thing,” Pratt quipped. It’s not just an endearing anecdote; it’s a glimpse into the comic legacy of the Pratt family who, like many, embrace their quirks and imperfections.
Throughout the chat, Pratt also reflected on his father, who passed away in 2014, and how he’s navigating fatherhood with his three kids: Jack, 12, with ex-wife Anna Faris; and Lyla, 4, and Eloise, 2, with Katherine. The Guardians of the Galaxy star joked about his upbringing, which he described as “old school,” noting that his children are notably more outspoken than he was. “Lyla is very tough,” he mused, giving an example of her playful yet alarming humor with, “I’ll cut your eyeballs out!”
The lighthearted tone of the interview harmonized beautifully with his recent red carpet appearance with Katherine at the premiere of his new Netflix film “The Electric State.” Interestingly, the couple seemed to thrive in the spotlight, with smiles reflecting a comfortable family dynamic that many fans adore. This glimpse into their lives reminds us why Pratt remains a beloved figure—not just for his blockbuster roles but for his genuineness and ability to connect with both the joy and the insanity of parenthood.
