Actor Chris Pratt Defends RFK Jr.’s MAHA Agenda: ‘Be Reasonable’

Actor Chris Pratt praised President Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., urging people not to let their negative feelings about Trump cloud their view of Kennedy.

The 46-year-old “Guardians of the Galaxy” star said during a recent appearance on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast that he “spent a number of occasions” with RFK Jr. in a “strictly family dinner kind of vibe.” 

“I really got along with him well and think he’s great. He’s funny, he’s wonderful. I love him,” the superhero film star admitted.

“Politics, it’s a nasty business,” Pratt continued. “There’s a certain level to this in Hollywood because… I’ve seen how the person you are can be such a contrast to the person that people being are told that you are, and you can go, ‘Wow, that is pure fiction.’… The person that you are can be sometimes in stark contrast with the person your enemy is saying you are. In politics, you inherit enemies. 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.”

“I don’t know what to believe [about RFK Jr.],” he said. “It’s not like I say to [him], ‘Let’s talk about this’ while we’re playing cards 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 assume that none of them are? For the most part, I wish him well.”

Pratt went on to praise Kennedy’s ‘Make America Healthy Again’ initiative. 

He said, “There’s certain things [that Kennedy] oversees that seem to be supported in a bipartisan way, like getting terrible toxic stuff out of our kids’ food.”

“I think that’s a great thing. If you just do that, that’s amazing. I’d hate to be so mired in hatred for the president that any success from his administration is something I’d be having an allergic reaction to,” Pratt said. “To be like, ‘Oh, well, if they do it, I don’t want it to happen. I’ll put Clorox in my children’s cereal myself!’ It’s like, be reasonable here. There’s certain things that would be a good thing to have. I want them all to be successful.”

Pratt, who is married to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s daughter, Katherine, has not publicized his political leanings. He alluded to the country needing unity in the days leading up to the contentious 2024 election.

“How do we become a nation of honorable winners and graceful losers? It starts with remembering no matter who wins or loses, there are still going to be people who need help in this country. Find them. Be of service,” he wrote at the time.
