Chris Pratt is tall, handsome and a hero of the Marvelverse, but the 44-year-old actor admits his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, may, occasionally, be dreaming of a different guy.
The actor, who penned a loving Mother’s Day tribute to his wife of nearly five years, described how he discovered the ‘other man’ in an interview with Entertainment Tonight while promoting The Garfield Movie.
Pratt confessed that his wife, 34, has a ‘hall pass’ – a slang term, referring to an agreement between a couple that they can have sex outside of their relationship, generally on a temporary or one-off basis.
So who, outside of Pratt, is Schwarzenegger’s type?

It’s Usher.
Pratt gave a hint about it when he posted video of Schwarzenegger dancing to Usher during his Super Bowl half-time performance in February, writing wrote ‘When Usher sang “Don’t leave your girl around me,” was he talking to me?’
‘She knows every word,’ (to Usher’s music) the Terminal List star explained.
‘I didn’t even know that until we were doing a little road trip and she started putting on Usher.’
He added: ‘And man, she knows every single word, so I guess Usher’s her hall pass. I can’t blame her.’

Working on the animated Garfield and 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie has allowed Pratt to stay closer to home and keep an eye on things.
The Guardians of the Galaxy star shares daughters Lyla, three, and Eloise, two with Schwarzenegger, and son Jack, 11, with ex-wife Anna Faris, 47.
‘A lot of times, work as an actor, it’s a such a blessing, but one of the downsides is it can take you out of the country or out of the state for an extended period of time,’ he said.
‘So being able to do voice work was really nice because you get to come home at night and sleep in [your] own bed.’
The doting dad is thrilled The Garfield Movie is something all three of his kids can watch.
‘They’re ready to see it,’ he stated.
‘This is the kind of movie that they can definitely watch. You know, some animated movies they get a little scary, it’s a little too much for the kids. This is something really fun for all ages.’
To prepare for the role, Pratt joked he ‘ate a lot of lasagna,’ and to find Garfield’s voice he ‘tried a few different things and I realized that he sounds a lot like Andy from Parks and Rec.’

Pratt revealed it was director Mark Dindal who first saw the link between the animated feline and the beloved Parks and Rec character.
‘He said, “I think I know exactly what this guy sounds like. That character you play on Parks and Rec,”‘ Pratt explained. ‘I was like, “Great, that’s good. I think that’s perfect.” Andy and Garfield are very similar.’
Adding their voices to the film are Samuel L Jackson, Ving Rhames, Ted Lasso alum’s Hannah Waddingham and Brett Goldstein along with SNL’s Bowen Wang and Cecily Strong, Abbot Elementary’s Janelle James and Snoop Dogg, who plays a furry critter named Snoop Catt.
The Garfield Movie opens in theaters May 24.
