Actress Cheryl Hines recently opened up about her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s, 2024 presidential campaign and how it's affecting her Hollywood career. In an interview with the New York Times, Hines discussed her role in Kennedy's campaign, her reaction to his controversial statements, and her own career aspirations. Kennedy also shared his perspective on Hines' contribution to his campaign and the challenges they've faced.

Hines expressed her support for her husband while maintaining her own professional life. "I support Bobby and I want to be there for him," she stated, emphasizing her desire to balance her personal life with her acting career. Kennedy acknowledged Hines' value to his campaign, describing her as a "huge asset" and praising her communication skills. He believes she has a captivating presence on television due to her spontaneity and quick wit.

Kennedy's controversial stance on vaccines, including a speech comparing U.S. vaccine mandates to Nazi Germany and invoking Anne Frank, has drawn significant criticism. Hines publicly denounced his comments, calling them "reprehensible and insensitive." Kennedy admitted to suggesting a fake separation to shield Hines from the backlash, a proposal she ultimately rejected.

While Hines expressed frustration with how easily her husband's words could be misconstrued, she also addressed the vaccine debate, stating that she understands the fears on both sides of the issue. She questioned the safety and testing of vaccines, echoing Kennedy's concerns. Hines emphasized her belief in bodily autonomy and the right to make medical decisions with a doctor, not a politician.

Despite the controversies, Kennedy mentioned the support they've received from Hines' friends, including "Curb Your Enthusiasm" creator Larry David, although David clarified that his support is personal, not political.

Hines remains focused on her acting projects, including the upcoming seasons of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "I Can See Your Voice," as well as other film and podcast ventures. She admitted that the campaign trail has been a learning experience, and she's becoming more aware of the weight her words carry in the political sphere.
