“Oh my gosh. I mean, she’s like a living saint. I feel that. And she’s funny and accessible and brilliant. She’s so involved in the lives of her children,” he said of his mother-in-law.
He continued, noting, “She’s raised four — she and Arnold [Schwarzenegger] — have raised four amazing kids. And that’s not always an easy thing to do. You see people in Hollywood or people who’ve got like, a lot of privilege, and they end up raising kind of rotten kids.”
“So I just want to kind of ask her everything. ‘What’d you do? How did you not spoil them? How did you not ruin them,’” he explained.
Here’s what Chris has learned from her: “I think she holds them accountable. You know, when Maria walks in the room, you stand up. She’s big on manners and she’s big on accountability. And she’s deeply rooted in her faith and these are all things that I definitely want to take and implement in the rearing of our children.”
Chris also made an appearance at SiriusXM at SiriusXM Studios in New York City to promote The Garfield Movie on Thursday (May 23). He even brought a stuffed Garfield with him.
The Garfield Movie hits theaters on Friday (May 24). Press play on the trailer!
