Why Chris Pratt Says Bedtime for His and Katherine Schwarzenegger's Kids Is Like a "Drama" TV Show

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger's TV viewing habits are a little different as parents.

In an exclusive interview with E! News, Chris joked that the couple's so-called favorite series these days is a baby monitor that watches over their daughters Lyla Maria, 2, and Eloise Christina, 10 months.

"It's this new show where you just hope and pray that they stay asleep all night," quipped the Jurassic World star, who is also dad to 10-year-old son Jack with ex Anna Faris. "It's been really great. Drama, some comedy."

While Chris and Katherine are also fans of Yellowstone and Ozark, the actor noted, "It's been hard for us to find the time to watch anything."

After all, bedtime can be quite the production. As the 43-year-old explained, the biggest challenge is to put his children to sleep and successfully sneak out of the room without waking them.

"That's like an obstacle course," Chris remarked. "And I have one ankle...that cracks every third step. I got a loud ankle, and so I have to hobble out on one leg or else I wake the baby up."

Explaining how the whole process is a delicate procedure, he added, "It's like the game Operation."

 

And games are something that are close to Chris' heart. Not only is he the voice of Mario in the upcoming The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but the star is admittedly a huge Nintendo nerd as well.

"I remember the Power Glove," he gushed. "All the codes. All the games. Tecmo Bowl."

If only Chris could press up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A to get his kids to stay in bed.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie releases in theaters on April 5, 2023.
