Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has dropped his bid for the Democratic nomination and is instead running as an independent. The switch comes as part of a campaign in which RFK Jr. has positioned himself as a countercultural alternative to Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

While the nephew of the late president John F. Kennedy has so far been unable to mount much of a challenge to the frontrunners in the polls, he has found several celebrity supporters, many of whom have also been vocally dissatisfied with Democratic and Republican orthodoxies. Several of them, as well as the candidate himself, have expressed vaccine skepticism. Here are seven celebs who are outspoken Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supporters.

1. Pierce Brosnan

In September, Kennedy posted a photo of himself with actor Pierce Brosnan, who's best known for playing James Bond in the '90s and early '00s. The post on X, the social network formerly known as Twitter, included the caption, "Two Irishmen at the Kennedy for President fundraiser on Point Dume last night."

2. Eric Clapton
