Chris Pratt, 43, Claims People Should “Rush” to Have Kids and He Explains Why

The 43-year-old actor is a father of 3 kids. He has a son Jack with his ex-wife Anna Faris. And, with his current wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, he is blessed with 2 daughters. During a recent interview, he strongly advised people not to wait when it comes to having children. According to him, the experience of being a parent is truly incredible.

The actor points out that there’s no need to delay such a life-changing experience.

Adam Sandler helped him understand why.

A conversation with Adam Sandler left a lasting impression on Chris. Sandler once said, “Every day you wait is a day they don’t get to have you in their life.” This statement strongly affected Pratt, “The younger you have kids, the more time they get to have with you.”
