- Jack, 31, looked just like his grandfather as he participated in a sultry photoshoot
- He expressed his desires to follow in his famous grandfather’s footsteps
- The Harvard grad revealed he landed a job as Vogue’s political correspondent
John F. Kennedy’s grandson Jack Schlossberg proved he inherited more from the late President than just political ambition while posing up for a suave photoshoot – showing off his uncanny resemblance to his grandfather.
Harvard Law School graduate Jack, 31, is the spitting image of JFK in the sultry photoshoot for Vogue – which has enlisted him as a political correspondent for the Presidential election campaign.
Dressed in a suit, the budding lawyer – who is the cousin of presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – laid on the floor alongside a pile of photocopies of his face in one of the images.
Another showed him smiling towards the camera as he bit a pen, while a third featured him running through an office with a stack of magazines in his hand.
While chatting with the outlet, Jack expressed his desires to follow in his famous grandfather’s footsteps and enter the world of politics – while opening up about his thoughts on whether President Joe Biden is really fit to run for re-election.
‘I am inspired by my family’s legacy of public service,’ he said. ‘I take that very seriously, and I want to contribute in my own way.
‘I have big dreams, but I also know that I’m trying to make a positive impact today.’
When asked whether he has a ‘message for people who may question President Biden’s fitness to run’ in the upcoming election amid growing concerns about his health, Jack, a staunch liberal, urged people to look past the candidate and instead vote for his party.
‘Whatever people decide is up to them,’ he said.
‘However, the choice that you’re actually making about the government you want is the same today as it was a month ago. It’s worth showing up to vote even if you’re not enthusiastic about the candidate so that things don’t get way worse.
‘I understand if that’s not an appealing message to people, but I still think, at the end of the day, voting for Democrats is going to be the right way to go.’
Unsurprisingly, Jack made no mention of his uncle, RFK Jr, who is running as an independent candidate – and whom the budding politico has publicly lambasted in the past.
In May, he shared Instagram videos of himself referring to RFK Jr as a ‘friggin’ prick’, adding that he ‘goes way freakin’ back’ with Biden’s political rival Donald Trump.
Jack – the son of JFK and his wife, Jackie Kennedy Onassis’ only surviving child, Caroline Kennedy, and her husband, Edwin Schlossberg – attended an elite, $60,000-a-year private school as a teen.
He then headed to Yale University for college, followed by Harvard Law School for his masters.
He received his J. D. and MBA from the latter and passed the Bar exam in 2022.
Jack has long shown an interest in politics, mingling with top officials at a young age alongside his famous mom and delivering numerous politically-driven speeches over the years.
He told Vogue that his love of politics sparked in 2007 after his uncle Senator Edward ‘Teddy’ Kennedy asked him what he thought of Barack Obama, who was running for president at the time.
‘[I told him] how much I loved him and thought he was the real deal. I know that my uncle Teddy was just humoring me in a way, but I also felt like he wanted to hear the opinion of a young person and took it seriously,’ he recalled.
‘He and my mom endorsed Obama right after he won the South Carolina primary. I felt so involved, so heard, so excited about politics, and felt that anything could happen and I could make a difference.’
He remembered feeling like he ‘wasn’t good at anything’ before that, but after he got ‘super into politics’ he had a newfound excitement in life.
‘At that time in my life, I wasn’t good at anything, really. I was pretty bad at sports, and I was a bad student,’ he continued.
‘But all of a sudden, Obama was running and all I wanted to do was watch the news every day. I got super into politics, and I felt like it was the most exciting thing I’d ever seen.’
He also recalled a time in 10th grade when his class was learning about his grandfather’s presidency and he felt ‘uncomfortable’ so he started ‘goofing off.’
He said his teacher called on him to answer a question and when he didn’t know the answer, it put a fire under his butt to go out and learn everything he could about JFK.
‘That day I went home and started reading. That’s when I started getting serious about learning about my family and got really inspired by it,’ he explained.
While chatting with the publication, he described his grandfather as his ‘hero.’
‘[His administration] is a blueprint for how progressivism can work in America and how America can lead the world in a positive, optimistic, science-driven way,’ he added.
‘His administration actually did so much that’s still with us today, and he inspired a whole generation of people to enter public service – and still does.’
Jack is very outspoken on social media, and has racked up over 180,000 followers on Instagram and 103,000 on TikTok.
He gained attention in June 2023 when he went on a harsh rant against his first cousin once removed, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after he announced he was running for president.
Jack publicly supported President Biden and called anti-vaxxer RFK Jr.’s candidacy an ’embarrassment.’

He also previously made headlines after he went on a bizarre online rant against restaurants on his social media.
Jack said people shouldn’t take his social media posts so seriously, telling Vogue, ‘I’m just having a good time.
‘I’m a fun, wacky guy. I’m a silly goose – a silly goose who’s trying, just trying, to get the truth out there.’
But he added, ‘I try to say things that I think are important. People can tell when people are being authentic and don’t have any other agenda.
‘I think very deeply and critically about what I want to say. This election year is so important to me, and that’s why I’ve been trying to be out there more.
‘This is a really pivotal moment in history, and it’s such an exciting time to be alive and to be able to vote.
‘I want to get that vibe out there because there’s a lot of negative energy about politics, and I want to bring some positivity out there because this really matters.’
