Another photo depicted Pratt smiling behind Schwarzenegger, who was comfortably seated on a sofa chair. The final picture in the series portrayed a heartwarming scene of Pratt's two daughters, Lyla, 3, and Eloise, 2, playing in the kitchen with their grandfather and a pig. Pratt's message continued with a personal touch, "Looking forward to another year of sage advice, good cigars, chess whoopings,, and hand feeding homemade cookies to the many barn animals that live in your kitchen."

In a recent conversation with People magazine, Pratt reflected on the significance of Schwarzenegger's support. "Arnold's support means the world to me on a couple of different levels. Just being his son-in-law and being part of his family, it obviously means a lot to have his support," Pratt shared.

He added that Schwarzenegger's approval holds special value due to his own admiration for the actor's iconic roles. "I dreamed of being Commando and dreamed of being the soldier from Predator, and I loved Terminator," Pratt said. "So him to give me kudos for going out and being on the marquee is really kind of mind-blowing," he added.

In a previous interview with People magazine, Schwarzenegger himself spoke about his joy in being a grandfather. "It's a fun thing, because I didn't know how good I would be. But I have the animals, so it's an easy thing," Schwarzenegger said. He described teaching his granddaughter Lyla to feed horses, sharing a glimpse into the simple pleasures he enjoys with his family. ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Fact Check: BLACKPINK’s Jennie Kim, Emma Stone, Keanu Reeves, Arnold Schwarzenegger Cast As Deadpool Variants?
