Chris Pratt is tall, handsome and a Marvelverse hero, but the 44-year-old actor admits that his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, may occasionally be dreaming about a different man.
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 that refers to an agreement between a couple to be able to have sexual relations outside of their relationship, usually on a temporary or one-off basis.
So who, other than Pratt, is Schwarzenegger’s guy?
Chris Pratt, 44, and Katherine Schwarzenegger, 34, have been happily married for almost five years, but the actor admits his wife is in love with another man (pictured in Los Angeles in April 2023).
I’m Usher.
Pratt hinted at this when he posted a video of Schwarzenegger dancing with Usher during his Super Bowl halftime performance in February, writing, “When Usher sang ‘Don’t leave your girl around me,’ was he talking to me?” ‘
“She knows every word,” the Terminal List star explained (to music by Usher).
“I didn’t even know until we were taking a little road trip and she started going Usher.”
He added: “And man, she knows every word, so I guess Usher is her pass.” I can’t blame her.
Usher has been revealed as Katherine Schwarzenegger’s hall pass
He recently showed he still has it by performing at the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show in Las Vegas.
Working on the animated film 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.
“Many times, working as an actor is a great blessing, but one of the disadvantages is that it can take you out of the country or state for an extended period of time,” he said.
“So being able to work with the voice was really nice because you can come home at night and sleep in (your) own bed.”
The doting father is delighted that the movie Garfield is something his three children can watch.
“They’re ready to see it,” he said.
‘This is the kind of movie you can definitely watch. You know, some animated movies are a little scary, it’s too much for kids. This is really fun stuff for all ages.’
To prepare for the role, Pratt joked that he “ate a lot of lasagna” and, to find Garfield’s voice, “he tried a few different things and I realized he sounds a lot like Andy from Parks and Rec.”

Pratt revealed that it was director Mark Dindal who first saw the bond 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 thought, ‘Great, that’s good. I think he’s perfect.’ Andy and Garfield are very similar.
Adding their voices to the film are Ted Lasso’s Samuel L Jackson, Ving Rhames, 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 creature named Snoop Catt. .
The movie Garfield opens in theaters on May 24.
