Watch: Katherine Schwarzenegger Shares Sweet Family Pics with Husband Chris PrattChris Pratt has only positive feelings towards Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And while the Jurassic World star understands that there are controversies surrounding the politician's current role as United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, for his part, Chris views him simply as a member of wife Katherine Schwarzenegger's family. "I've spent a number of occasions hanging with him," he explained on the Aug. 18 episode of Bill Maher's Club Random podcast. "In a strictly family dinner kind of vibe. And I really got along with him well." The 46-year-old added about the first cousin of mother-in-law Maria Shriver, "I think he's great. I think he's funny. I like him. I love him." Still, Chris-who shares children Lyla, 5, Eloise, 3, and Ford, 9 months, with Katherine, as well as son Jack, 13, with ex Anna Farris-understands why Robert might be viewed differently, citing his own experience in Hollywood. readCheryl Hines Breaks Silence on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Marriage Turmoil Rumors"Politics it's a nasty business," the Parks and Recreation alum began. "I'm not in politics, obviously, but there's a certain level to this in Hollywood, because Hollywood itself is a political institution. I've seen in Hollywood 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.'"Kevin Winter/GA/The Hollywood Reporter via Getty ImagesHe further admitted that Robert, 71, being so closely associated with President Donald Trump has contributed to the controversy, and adding, "When you jump on the bandwagon with who is the most divisive president ever, it makes sense that you're going to be made to look terrible." However, when Chris spends time with Robert-whose dad Robert F. Kennedy was the younger brother of Maria's mom Eunice Kennedy -the two of them are "just playing cards or Mafia or having fun or having dinner." "I'm not gonna pick his brain to find out exactly which of those things are true," Chris continued. "I just kind of assume that none of them are, and for the most part I wish him well." Still, there are those within the Kennedy family who are less sympathetic to Robert, like another of his first cousins Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of late President John F. Kennedy. "I've known Bobby my whole life. We grew up together," Caroline said in a letter submitted to the Senate in January prior to his confirmation for the cabinet position. "It's no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets, because Bobby himself is a predator."Jamie McCarthy/WireImage; Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty ImagesThe 67-year-old added, "I watched his younger brothers and cousins follow him down the path of drug addiction. His basement, his garage, his dorm room were always the center of the action where drugs were available." Holding nothing back, the former Australian ambassador, whose son Jack Schlossberg has also criticized RFK Jr. online, emphasized that her "has gone on to misrepresent, lie and cheat his way through life today." "While he may encourage a younger generation to attend AA meetings," she continued, "Bobby is addicted to attention and power." E! reached out to RFK Jr. for comment at the time but never heard back.

Born July 25, 1915, Joe Jr. was going to be president, as far as his father was concerned. He was a delegate to the 1940 Democratic National Convention and planned to run for Congress after he got out of the Navy. But the 29-year-old and his co-pilot Wilford John Willy were killed Aug. 12, 1944, when explosives they were carrying detonated prematurely while on a bombing run that was part of Operation Aphrodite. Neither pilot's body was ever recovered and their names are among those on the Tablets of the Missing at the Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial honoring casualties of World War II.

He married Jacqueline Bouvier on Sept. 12, 1953, and they welcomed daughter Caroline Kennedy on Nov. 27, 1957, and son John F. Kennedy Jr. on Nov. 25, 1960. A daughter, Arabella, was stillborn in 1956 and son Patrick, born prematurely on Aug. 7, 1963, lived for only 39 hours. JFK was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963, one of the defining events of the 20th century.
