The Hollywood star, Chris Pratt, shared his reflections on Robert F. Kennedy Jr., revealing that he feels warmly towards him despite public controversies surrounding the political career of Kennedy.
Speaking with Bill Maher in an episode of Random club Podcast released on August 18, Pratt described his personal interactions with Kennedy in a more intimate and relaxed light. “I spent a number of opportunities to hang with him, just in a strictly family atmosphere, and I really got on with him,” said Pratt. “I think it’s great. I think it’s funny. I love him. I love her. “
Pratt’s family ties connect it directly to the Kennedys. His wife, author Katherine Schwarzenegger, is the granddaughter of Eunice Kennedy Shriver – so that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of the extensive family network Pratt has learned over the years.
Although Kennedy was a polarizing figure, in particular after having supported the presidential race in 2024 of Donald Trump after his own outing of the race, Pratt said that he did not allow the policy to interfere with their personal relationship. He explained that when they spend time together, it is generally around light activities like playing cards, enjoying meals or spending time with dear beings – no debate policies or controversial claims.
“Politics is a nasty business,” said Pratt. “I saw how the person you may be such a contrast to the person whose people tell you you are. When I am with Bobby, I do not choose my brain about controversies. I guess most of these things are not true and I wish him good luck. ”
The actor also addressed the broader climate of the division in American policy. He stressed that the Americans should not allow the partisanry to make them blind to progress. “I would hate being so muddled in hatred for the president that any success of his administration is something I would have an allergic reaction,” he told Maher.
While some of the colleagues of Pratt Marvel publicly supported Vice-President Kamala Harris during the elections, Pratt himself has refrained from making an approval. In a test for Maria Shriver Sunday newspaper Before the 2024 elections, Pratt wrote that he was trying to understand the political moment through people’s eyes through the spectrum. He urged Americans to prioritize unity after the elections, writing that “our civic duty is to accept the results and rather focus on the presence for each other”.
Pratt’s comments highlighted his philosophy to maintain the political discourse separated from personal connections, especially in family circles. For him, the emphasis seems to be placed on shared experiences, laughter and compassion rather than on heated debates.
