Arnold Schwarzenegger really excited to be granddad as he raves about gene pool: ‘There’s a lot of power here’

Arnold Schwarzenegger seriously can’t wait to be a granddad – and we absolutely love to see it.

The Twins actor’s daughter, Katherine, and her husband Chris Pratt, are set to welcome their first child together later this year.

And Arnie is really, really looking forward to those grandparent duties.

During a stint on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 72-year-old said: ‘Can you believe that?  That is really exciting news that Katherine now [to] be pregnant and have a baby—I don’t know when exactly, but sometime this summer.

‘And, inevitably, I’m really looking forward to playing around with whatever it is, she or he, and have some fun. This is a unique experience.’

Referencing the little one’s impressive genes, with the Schwarzenegger blood coupled with ex-wife Maria Shriver’s Kennedy DNA – and Chris’ bloodline, he continued: ‘Think about this for a second… There’s three gene pools here. You can do Kennedy, Schwarzenegger and Pratt.

‘We can do anything, we can solve the Cuban missile crisis, we can go and kill [terrorists] with our bare hands, and we go and train dinosaurs.

‘I mean think about it. That is a lot of power here!’

‘Worst thing is, if this kid ends up with my accent,’ he added. ‘That’s what we don’t want.’ 

Honestly, we’re already bowing down to baby Schwarzenegger Pratt…

The tot will be 30-year-old Katherine’s first child and will be a younger sibling to Chris’ seven-year-old son Jack, from his marriage to Anna Faris.

The Guardians of the Galaxy star recently opened up about how the mum-to-be is doing with her pregnancy journey, admitting he has been indulging in the cravings – no matter how weird they get. 

Speaking on Extra with host Billy Bush, he explained: ‘Pickles and ice cream. I never thought I would like them so much.

‘Can I be honest with you? I found myself complaining the other day about a little bit of low back and hip pain and how I’ve gained a little weight in quarantine… and she just looked at me sweetly.

‘I was like… “Oh, right, right, I don’t really get to complain about that to you right now, do I?”‘ 

No. No, you don’t, Chris…
