Arnold Schwarzenegger shares one condition for working with Chris Pratt, son Patrick Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals his one condition for starring in a film with son Patrick Schwarzenegger and son-in-law Chris Pratt.

"It's one of those things that if there's a great script, then of course, we would do it. – Arnold Schwarzenegger"

Washington DC, June 13

Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger shared that he would be willing to star in a movie alongside his ex-Maria Shriver's son, Patrick Schwarzenegger and their son-in-law, Chris Pratt, who married their daughter, Katherine Schwarzenegger, 35, in 2019, under one important condition, reported E! News.

Arnold Schwarzenegger shared his one condition for starring in a movie alongside his son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and his son-in-law, Chris Pratt, at the Fubar season two premiere.

"It's one of those things that if there's a great script, then of course, we would do it," said Arnold, adding, "But you can't just make up this stuff. You can't just say, 'OK, let's just put the three together in a movie and not have a great script.'"

Noting that those parameters should be a "given," the 77-year-old--who also shares daughter Christina Schwarzenegger, 33, and son Christopher Schwarzenegger, 27, with Maria, as well as son Joseph Baena, 27, with Mildred Baena--called on filmmakers to make it happen, according to E! News.

He said, "You don't have to talk about it, just do it."

Arnold is open to working with Patrick, 31, on a new project: He also hasn't shut down the idea of following in his son's footsteps by appearing on The White Lotus, which Patrick starred on as Saxon Ratcliff in its third season.

"Whenever I see something good, I am interested in it," Arnold shared, "so we will see."

But whether he's sharing the screen with Patrick or watching him from afar, the former bodybuilder is happy to see the 31-year-old fulfil his longtime dream.

"Patrick always had a love for show business," Arnold said. "He spent a lot of time on the set with me as a kid. He was doing his homework in my movie trailer, and he was watching me shoot on stage. I think he got the desire right then and there," according to E! News.

In the meantime, he's proud of the effort he's put into the upcoming season of Fubar, an action comedy series that follows a CIA operative who is forced out of retirement and back on the pitch for one more task."The second season is a lot, a lot of great, great action," Arnold said of the new instalment, which premieres on Netflix June 12, "and also really funny moments."

He added, "The actual sequences are very, very tough to do, especially when you do night shoots and all that. But it's a lot of fun," according to E! News.

Arnold is such a legend! I grew up watching his Terminator movies in Mumbai's single-screen theaters. His work ethic is inspiring - even at 77 he's still doing action scenes. Hope he does team up with Patrick and Chris Pratt soon! 🤩

As a film student in Pune, I really appreciate Arnold's emphasis on good scripts. Bollywood should take note - star power alone doesn't make a great movie. The content matters most. His son Patrick seems to have inherited that professional attitude.

Fubar is actually quite entertaining! The action sequences remind me of 90s Bollywood masala films but with better production values. Arnold still has that screen presence after all these years. Hope Netflix brings more such content for global audiences.

It's heartwarming to see Arnold supporting his children's careers. In India we often pressure kids to follow traditional career paths, but he let Patrick pursue his passion. More parents should be like this! Though I wish he'd visit India for a movie shoot someday 😊

While I admire Arnold's career, I do think he could be more selective with his projects now. Some of his recent films haven't lived up to his legacy. Quality over quantity, sir! That said, a family project with proper script could be special.

The Schwarzenegger-Pratt family dynamic is so interesting! Reminds me of our Bollywood film families but with a Hollywood twist. Would love to see them do a comedy together - maybe something like a modern "Meet the Parents" but with action scenes? 😄
