Chris Pratt, actor and husband to Katherine Schwarzenegger, said when he socializes with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at family functions, he doesn’t “pick his brain” about issues pertaining to his current position.
Speaking with Bill Maher on his “Club Random” podcast, Pratt said he’s “spent a number of occasions hanging” with Kennedy.
“Just in a strictly, you know, family dinner kind of vibe, and I really got along with him well,” Pratt said. “I think he’s great. I think he’s funny. I like him. I love him.”
Schwarzenegger is a member of the Kennedy dynasty through her mother Maria Shriver, the daughter of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s late aunt.
Quoting a bible verse, Pratt implied that the public perception of Kennedy is different from who he is due to his close association with President Trump.
“The person that you are can be sometimes in stark contrast to the person that your enemy is saying that you are. And in politics, you inherit enemies. And when you jump in on, you know, the bandwagon with who is, you know, the most divisive president ever, it makes sense that you’re going to be made to look terrible,” Pratt said.
“I don’t know what to believe, ’cause it’s not like I sit with Bobby and I go, ‘So, hey, let’s talk about this. Let’s talk.’ It’s like, we’re just playing cards or playing mafia or having fun or having dinner,” Pratt added. “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 expressed some support for Kennedy’s goals, including “getting terrible, toxic stuff out of our kids’ food.”
