Woody Harrelson appears to be endorsing anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. for president: the actor poses with Wilson’s co-star and wife Cheryl Hines, the Democrat’s 2024 wife — wearing a very statement cap
- Harrelson was pictured wearing a blue Kennedy2024 hat that Hines posted
- She gave the post the hashtag “rfkjur”.

Actor Woody Harrelson appears to have endorsed long-term Democratic presidential nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a selfie alongside Cheryl Hines, the candidate’s actress and wife.
The 66-year-old donned a blue Kennedy 2024 hat with his Wilson co-star in the snap, which was posted Thursday.
“Nice to see you Woody,” Hines posted without elaborating. But commentators were quick to suggest it was an endorsement.
Her post contained the tags “#friends #hats #rfkjr”.
Harrelson joined New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers as the latest high-profile supporter of anti-vaccination, which plans to challenge President Joe Biden in 2024.

Polls put him in second place by a wide margin, and recent claims about COVID have sparked controversy.
Still, some Democrat supporters worry his campaign could hurt President Joe Biden’s re-election efforts, especially if the president is forced to stay away from New Hampshire after the Democratic National Committee allotted South Carolina an early primary seat in a diversity drive.
That enraged New Hampshire officials, who jealously guard their status as the nation’s first, and could give Kennedy an opportunity to try to hurt Biden.
Biden has a clear lead over Kennedy in the Democratic primary. But he continues to have low national approval ratings, hovering around 40 percent, while facing a Green Party challenge by Dr. Cornel West and a possible “No Labels” candidacy by a third party. This, coupled with a primary challenge, could weaken his powers even if he faces his rival Donald Trump, who faces multiple indictments.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. averages about 14 percent in nationwide polls, while Joe Biden averages about 63 percent

Harrelson co-starred with Hines in the 2017 film Wilson
Harrelson described himself as an “anarchist” and railed against the country’s wars abroad, once comparing President Barack Obama to Richard Nixon.
He played former John McCain adviser Steve Schmidt in the film adaptation of the political book Game Change. That prompted Politico to wonder if he disliked the Democrats any more than he disliked the Republicans.
“It’s all synchronized swimming to me,” said the former Natural Born Killers and Kingpin co-star.
“They all kneel and kiss the ring.” “Who’s going to take on the oil industry or the medical industry?” he said in the 2013 interview.
“People compare Obama to Lyndon Johnson, but I think a better comparison is between Obama and Nixon.” “Because when Nixon took office he announced he was withdrawing from Vietnam and then escalated the war,” he said.
“I don’t believe in politics. I’m an anarchist, you could say. “I think people could take care of themselves quite well,” he said.
