john ‘jack’ f. kennedy participating in a running gag created by a newly married bobby & ethel kennedy. filmed outside their first home as a married couple. very early 1950s.
pretty sure that it’s ethel who jack bumps into, judging by the short, trimmed hair she sported at the time and the clothes, which means it’s definitely bobby who was filming!
#coming across videos like these that highlight jack’s personality after the 40s is so rare#makes me think about how much the losses of Joe jr. and kick really affected him#made him withdraw into himself a little more even though his outward charm didn’t change#also love how this vid implies a more realistic side to jack and bobby’s dynamic#they always say jack attempted to lighten bobby up which is true but#bobby kept that silly sibling side of jack alive i think#bc jack was more of a father figure to teddy anyway even though they clearly had their fun too#rfk#bobby kennedy#jfk#jack kennedy#kennedy for your thoughts
