His Kids Have Never Seen a Movie - Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger Ban Movies for Their Youngest Kids

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger have taken an unusual approach to parenting in the digital age. Three of their four children have never watched a film—despite their father's Hollywood career. The couple's strict stance on screen time has drawn quiet attention, though little public discussion has followed.

The actor's youngest children—Lyla, 2, Eloise, 1, and newborn Ford—have yet to see any movies. Their mother, Schwarzenegger, follows a traditional view on technology, avoiding early exposure to screens. Pratt's 13-year-old son, Jack, from a previous relationship, has been the exception, recently watching The Super Mario Bros. Movie and calling it 'pretty cool'.

No wider debate has emerged about the couple's choices, even within entertainment circles. Their decision remains a private family matter, with no reports linking it to broader conversations about parenting in Hollywood.

The family's approach keeps their youngest children away from films for now. Schwarzenegger's preference for an 'old-school' upbringing shapes this rule. As the children grow, it remains unclear whether their parents' stance will shift or influence others in the industry.
