Chris Pratt Candidly Shares Why He Loves Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Published 08/18/2025, 10:29 PM EDT

Hollywood stars usually treat politics like kale juice: sip politely, never swallow whole, and certainly never discuss it in public. Yet some leap headfirst into the ideological buffet, stacking plates with family ties, controversies, and a side of charm. Chris Pratt, the man who can turn a talking raccoon into box office gold and Garfield into a pizza lover, has now done exactly that. At the buffet’s end? Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

While most celebrities dodge political dinners like bad sequels, Pratt turned family meals into unexpected campaign trailers, where lasagna, laughter, and love quotes became his chosen dialogue.

Chris Pratt spoke on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast about his bond with U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "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. The words "I think he's great. I think he's funny. I like him. I love him" were not campaign slogans, just Pratt’s dinner confessions.

Of course, Chris Pratt’s marriage plays a cameo here. His wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, is the granddaughter of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who together make every dinner invite politically loaded. Suddenly, playing cards with Bobby (nickname for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.) feels less like casual bonding and more like a sitcom where the in-laws are American political royalty, each shuffle of the deck disguised as a mini senate hearing.

Beyond the political card games, Chris Pratt’s career continues to glide like a raccoon on roller skates. He is set to star in Mercy in 2026 alongside Rebecca Ferguson, Annabelle Wallis, Kali Reis, Rafi Gavron, Chris Sullivan, Kenneth Choi, Kylie Rogers, and Jeff Pierre, a cast so stacked it could trigger a Hollywood game of musical chairs. Between sci-fi epics and thrillers, Pratt manages to juggle his professional life with the finesse of a Marvel stunt double.
