Chris Pratt Praises Cousin-In-Law RFK Jr., Admits “I Don’t Know What To Believe”

Despite marrying into the Kennedy dynasty, Chris Pratt apparently keeps politics off the table during family dinner.

The MCU star, whose wife Katherine Schwarzenegger is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s cousin, called the US secretary of health and human services “great,” explaining that he assumes the best of his in-law.

“I’ve spent a number of occasions hanging with him, just in a strictly family dinner kind of vibe, and I really got along with him well,” he said on the Club Random podcast. “I think he’s great. I think he’s funny. I like him. I love him.”

Calling politics a “nasty business,” Pratt said he’s seen “how the person you are can be such a contrast to the person that people are being told that you are.”

When asked about RFK Jr.’s history of spreading medical misinformation, he said, “When you jump on the bandwagon with the most divisive president ever, it makes sense that you’re going to be made to look terrible. So I don’t know what to believe. It’s not like I sit with Bobby and go, ‘So hey, let’s talk about this.’ We’re just playing cards or playing Mafia or having fun or having dinner. I’m not going to pick his brain to find out exactly which of those things are true. I just kind of assume that none of them are, and for the most part, I wish him well.”

Pratt also called for President Donald Trump‘s critics to celebrate his administration’s successes. “I’d hate to be so mired in hatred for the president that any success from his administration is something I’d have an allergic reaction to,” he said.

After RFK Jr. dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Trump, Pratt opted not to endorse any candidate in the 2024 election, writing in a column for mother-in-law Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper that he’s “trying to make sense of the election through the eyes of Americans on both sides.”
