Heartbreak feels good in a place like this, but Chris Pratt's youngest kids don't know that yet.

The "Super Mario Galaxy Movie" actor, 46, revealed on the "Today" show that his three children with wife Katherine Schwarzenegger have yet to watch a movie in their lives.

"My 5-year-old, my 3-year-old, and my 1-year-old have never seen movies," he shared. "Katherine is very old school when it comes to screens and technology and all that stuff. So we're waiting."

The revelation came up when Pratt was asked if his kids are aware he is the voice of Mario in the hit animated movies. The star joked there's going to come a time when his kids get older that "they're going to realize their dad is pretty cool," but he quipped, "They haven't realized it yet."

Pratt and Schwarzenegger have been married since 2019, and they share three children: 5-year-old Lyla Maria, 3-year-old Eloise Christina, and 1-year-old Ford. The couple announced the birth of Ford, the latest addition to their family, in November 2024.

For Chris Pratt, AI is 'an awesome tool' but needs 'safeguards'

Pratt has had voice roles in numerous kid-friendly animated movies during his career, from the "Mario" films to "The Garfield Movie" and two "Lego" movies.

Schwarzenegger has previously discussed her approach to screen time with her kids.

"We don't do screen time," she said on "The Skinny Confidential" in 2024, explaining she wants to encourage her children to play "without the involvement of an iPad or technology sitting there." She did note, though, that her children had seen a few episodes of the educational show "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood."

"My kids will eventually want to watch a movie," Schwarzenegger said at the time. "They'll want to know what the Disney princess world is. ... When do you introduce that? How do you introduce it?"

She added, "Chris says I'm crazy. He's like, 'You can let them watch something once in a while,' and I'm just like, 'I don't know.'"
