Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has filmed himself taking a cold plunge and a dip in the pool — in his trademark workout jeans.
The 72-year-old released a 90-second montage of himself working out alongside a shirtless Kid Rock on social media on Tuesday in a bid to inspire Americans to get active.
At one point in the clip, the HHS chief can be seen slipping into an ice-filled bath and dunking his head — all while wearing his blue denim.

The footage, which quickly racked up more than 8 million views, sparked a flurry of support for its overall “Make America Healthy Again” messaging.
But some social media users were left scratching their heads.
“RFK seems to be a Never Nude!” one person quipped alongside a meme of “Arrested Development” character Tobias Fünke, referring to his fictional psychological condition in which he can never be completely naked and wears denim cutoffs under his clothes.
“Has anyone seen the Secretary of HHS? Oh sure, he’s in kid rock’s indoor pool chugging whole milk in his jeans creating content for social media,” another said.
“Does anyone find it strange that he wore jeans into the bath?” one X user asked.

Kennedy, a known outdoor enthusiast, has raised eyebrows in the past for opting to wear jeans while working out — regardless of the exercise or temperatures.
