Actor Chris Pratt used an appearance on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast to praise Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign against harmful additives in children’s food and to urge Americans to put aside partisan hostility. Pratt, who is married into the Kennedy family, said the public should support initiatives that improve public health regardless of who proposes them, adding, “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.” The Guardians of the Galaxy star said he generally steers clear of political discussions at family gatherings, but told Maher he sees bipartisan merit in Kennedy’s consumer-safety agenda. Pratt’s comments offer rare political remarks from an actor known for avoiding overt partisanship and come as Kennedy continues to court support across the political spectrum for his public-health positions.
