Chris Pratt has sparked a storm of controversy after his comments on a podcast supporting Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., triggering strong reactions from his fans.
The Jurassic World star appeared on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, where he made several comments that didn’t sit well with many of his fans, especially regarding Trump’s administration and RFK Jr.’s views.
Pratt, who is married to Katherine Schwarzenegger, has significant ties to RFK Jr., a well-known anti-vaxxer and controversial figure within political and medical circles. RFK Jr. is also a cousin of Schwarzenegger through her father, Robert F. Kennedy’s side, and has often made headlines for his divisive opinions.
During the podcast, Pratt discussed his interactions with RFK Jr. and his views on politics. “I’ve spent a number of occasions hanging with him in a strictly family dinner kind of vibe,” Pratt said. “I really got along with him well and think he’s great. He’s funny, he’s wonderful. I love him.”
Pratt went on to make more polarizing statements, suggesting that supporting the most divisive president in history (Trump) made sense given that politicians “inherit enemies.” He acknowledged RFK Jr.’s divisiveness but expressed that he didn’t “pick his brain” on all the controversial topics that RFK Jr. supports, assuming that most of them weren’t true.
“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.’”
These comments drew immediate backlash on social media, especially from fans who had previously supported Pratt’s work. Several users voiced their disappointment in him, with one writing, “I respected your work, but supporting Trump makes it impossible for me to see you the same way.”
Others were equally upset, accusing Pratt of endorsing dangerous ideologies. One user commented, “I had a lot of respect for you and your work, but defending this administration reflects your values. I will no longer watch any of your movies. Power to the people.” Another Instagram user warned Pratt about the harmful impact of RFK Jr.’s views, saying, “People will die unnecessarily for generations because of this. His mere words will set our medical advancements back a decade.”
The backlash was loud and clear, as fans took to social media to express their anger. They questioned how Pratt could support figures like Trump and RFK Jr., both of whom have been widely criticized for their controversial policies and statements. One user even urged Pratt to consider how “unbelievably dangerous” Trump and RFK Jr. are to the nation, calling for him to reflect with an open heart and mind.
This controversy has left Pratt’s fanbase divided, with many feeling disappointed by the actor’s stance. While some continue to support him, others have expressed that his political views have made it difficult to separate the artist from the controversial opinions they now associate with him.
As the fallout continues, it remains to be seen how Pratt’s public image will be affected by his political comments. Fans and critics alike are closely watching how the actor handles the backlash and whether it will have any long-term consequences for his career.
