Los Angeles mayoral hopeful Spencer Pratt said he\u2019s not impressed by celebrity endorsements.<\/span><\/p>\n The former star of the MTV reality series \u201cThe Hills\u201d has drawn the attention of plenty of big names in entertainment and business, with Democrats and Republicans donating to his campaign and encouraging their followers to vote for Pratt. But during a Thursday appearance on Fox News\u2019 \u201cGutfeld!,\u201d the candidate said regular supporters mean more to him than A-listers.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou have celebrities that are now coming out in support of you, but they will deny it, won’t they? Leo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx?\u201d host Greg Gutfeld asked.<\/span><\/p>\n Pratt replied, \u201cWhat I have learned is I actually don’t want celebrities to come out and endorse me. I don’t want anybody to endorse me except for the moms and animal lovers in L.A. That’s my entire vote.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n This inspired the audience to erupt in applause.<\/span><\/p>\n He went on, \u201cI’m cool if no celebrity ever endorses me. I actually love it when they attack me because then I’m like, oh, I’m doing so well!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n “I don’t want anybody to endorse me except for the moms and the animal lovers in LA \u2014 that’s my entire vote.”<\/p>\n LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt tells @Gutfeldfox<\/a> that he’s not interested in getting endorsements from Hollywood celebrities. pic.twitter.com\/Wf94EMnUJs<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Fox News (@FoxNews) May 29, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Gutfeld was referencing comments Pratt made during a Us Weekly <\/span>interview<\/span><\/a> published earlier this week, in which he claimed to have private endorsements from DiCaprio and Foxx.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t name-drop, but I had two of my favorite people ever support me,\u201d he told the outlet. \u201cLeonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx both said, \u2018Please, Mr. Mayor, we want these streets safe again.\u2019 If their reps try to deny this happened, I have multiple witnesses. It was an out-of-body experience.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The outlet added a disclaimer in the article, which said, \u201cUs understands DiCaprio has not publicly or privately endorsed Pratt.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Other famous names to publicly endorse Pratt for mayor include several of his former co-stars on \u201cThe Hills,\u201d including Brody Jenner, Kristin Cavallari, and Audrina Patridge, plus actor Dennis Quaid, rapper Big Sean, songwriter David Foster, Paris Hilton, and Los Angeles Lakers minority owner and franchise governor Jeanie Buss.<\/span><\/p>\n These comments about celebrity endorsements coincide with Pratt\u2019s campaign pulling in millions of dollars in donations, including from <\/span>major Democrat donors<\/span><\/a> like the Sabans and Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos\u2019 wife, Nicole Avant. Pratt is earning significantly more than incumbent mayor Karen Bass and radical candidate Nithya Raman, but that won\u2019t necessarily translate into a win. Prediction markets still rate Pratt’s chance of winning as a long shot, but his odds have improved in recent weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n Bass is currently leading in the polls, but could face a runoff election if she fails to secure 50% of the vote in the primary on June 2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
