My son-in-law or are you the other Chris?

- BY KARU F. DANIELS

The Ah-nold has gotten himself Chris-crossed.

He may have made his bones as “The Terminator,” but when it comes to modern-day action stars — such as Chris Pratt and Chris Evans — Arnold Schwarzene­gger appeared to be at sixes and sevens.

The 73-year-old Hollywood icon had trouble telling a couple of the “famous Chrisses” apart — which is odd because one of them is his married to his daughter.

During a star-studded New Year’s Instagram telethon, in which he ultimately raised more than $615,000 to feed the hungry, Pratt (left inset) introduced a series of stars via splitscree­n video, including his fatherin-law, the action movie legend Schwarzene­gger.

“Hello Chris Evans!” the former California governor fumbled, confusing the “Guardians of the Galaxy” star Pratt with “Captain America” star Evans.

“Oh, not Chris Evans. Sorry. I screwed up this whole thing right from the beginning,” the “Conan the Barbarian” star laughed nervously.

“I didn’t hold up the cue cards the right way,” Schwarzene­gger furthered, holding up an index card with the words marked “Chris Pratt.”

“I should know your name, that’s for sure. You’re my favorite son-inlaw,” he deadpanned.

“I’m your only son-in-law, I better be your favorite!” Pratt jokingly protested.

To Schwarzene­gger’s defense, Pratt and Evans (right inset) join Chris Hemsworth as members of “The Avengers” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Add fellow heartthrob Chris Pine, who stars in “Star Trek” and “Wonder Woman” movies, to that quartet and someone is bound to get mixed up.

Schwarzene­gger went on to share that he “think[s] the world” of the 41-year-old heartthrob.

Pratt and his wife, author and animal activist Katherine, welcomed their first child together, daughter Lyla Maria Schwarzene­gger Pratt, in August.
