Jack Schlossberg Reveals His Family's Reaction to His "Crazy" Social Media Videos
View Date:2024-12-23 20:18:33
Jack Schlossberg's famous family stands behind his eccentric social media activity.
Schlossberg, who is the son of Caroline Kennedy and grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, gave some insight into what the Kennedys think of the often viral videos he shares online.
"My parents support me no matter what I chose to do, even if it's making crazy videos on Instagram about politics," he told Jimmy Kimmel during a Sept. 24 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, explaining that what he's "trying to do" with his videos is "bring levity and humor to political issues."
Schlossberg's social media pages mix together shirtless videos, comedic accents, wild dancing and seemingly random observations with more pointed political takes and stances.
But as he sees it, "My videos, maybe they're a little crazy, but maybe they're just crazy enough to work."
The 31-year-old—the youngest of Caroline and Edwin Schlossberg’s three kids—also spoke to how it feels for him to follow in the footsteps of the many politicians and public servants in his family. (Among them are his late great uncles, senators Robert F. Kennedy and Ted Kennedy.)
Schlossberg's appearance on Kimmel came about a month after he spoke at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, which he called the "honor of a lifetime" before admitted that he was "definitely a bit nervous" ahead of his speech.
"I had a pump-up ritual: Red Bull and the band Creed," the Vogue political correspondent joked to Kimmel. "That's what I was doing. I was really focused on that. I wanted to do a good job and make my family proud. I was listening to Creed and walking in circles."
The cousin of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also noted that he "looked really happy" on stage, "but it wasn't for the reason you might expect." In fact, he revealed, he found out moments before going on stage that he would be meeting actresses Marisa Tomei and Eva Longoria after his speech.
His comments about his social media activity echoed what he had previously said about his content.
“I think I’ve broken through to a younger audience," he told Town & Country in August. "I think everyone’s looking for a little bit of levity and humor here, and if it’s all so serious all the time, it’s just too heavy. I think a lot of people are confused, but I think a lot of people understand what I’m doing.”
