Chris Pratt, who recently replied to critics for his Mario role,  has a fan in his family.

At Saturday's premiere of the video game movie adaption, the Super Mario Bros. Movie star, 43, told PEOPLE that his and Anna Faris' 10-year-old Jack Daniel "really freaked out" when he watched his father bring the namesake character to the big screen.

"He saw it already and he's thrilled. He loves it," said Pratt. "He took all his friends and he really freaked out. My daughter's a little too young to see it, but when they do see it, hopefully, they'll think their dad is cool."

When Ellen DeGeneres questioned him in 2021 if Jack had seen any of his films, Pratt replied that he "Sees 'em all."

He jokes, "Even the ones he shouldn't see. He's a great critic. He started to become a bit of a movie buff."

Pratt said at the time that he and Jack "watch movies all the time," saying, "That's our thing that we do."

He and Faris, 46, were married from 2009 until 2018, and Jack, who was born nine weeks premature, was born in 2012. Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger have two daughters, Lyla Maria, two, and Eloise Christina, nine months.
