| John F Kennedy's grandson John 'Jack' Schlossberg, left, with his mother Caroline Kennedy as she is sworn in as U.S. Ambassador to Japan with her husband Dr Edwin Schlossberg and Secretary of State John Kerry. Jack's looks have been compared to his grandfather's. |
His grandfather's dashing good looks stole America's heart during his time as President.
Now it seems John F Kennedy's charm has resurfaced - in his only grandson.
Admirers took to the internet to sing the praises of John 'Jack' Schlossberg, 20, who is training to become an emergency medical technician as he studies at Yale University.
As he appeared beside his mother Caroline Kennedy, who was sworn in as U.S. Ambassador to Japan, one Twitter user asked: 'When did Caroline Kennedy's son become such a 10?'
One cheekily asked whether he was 'legal' while another said: 'I can't wait to marry into the Kennedy family.'

Despite his comparatively tender age, the young member of one of U.S. politics' greatest dynasties has more than his share of family tragedy.
His uncle John Kennedy Jr died in a plane crash in 1999, and his great-uncle Bobby was assassinated - as, of course, was his grandfather.
Not shaken by his family's past, Jack has been described as a budding statesman. He has already spoken at several prominent events, including the 50th anniversary of New York's JFK Airport.

At his age, Jack's grandfather led a somewhat more relaxed life - during time off from Harvard aged 20, he sailed to France with his convertible car and spent 10 weeks driving through Europe.
But the future President would soon come of age with the onset of the Second World War when he was 22. He served first in the Army then the Navy, receiving the Navy and Marine Corps Medal.
His daughter Caroline Kennedy took part in a traditional tea ceremony yesterday, just days before flying to Japan in her official role as Ambassador.
The daughter of President Kennedy was confirmed as the new ambassador by the Senate last month and is due to move to Japan with her husband and children tomorrow.

| Statesman in the making: John 'Jack' Schlossberg listens to a speaker on the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis last year, at the library in Boston, Massachusetts, which was named for his grandfather |
The 55-year-old attorney, who will be the first woman to represent the U.S. in the Asian country, was nominated for the vital role by President Obama after his re-election.
John Bouvier Kennedy Schlossberg (born January 19, 1993), known as "Jack", is an American Yale University student and the grandson of President John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy.
Schlossberg was born on January 19, 1993, in New York City to U.S. Japan Ambassador Caroline Bouvier Kennedy (born 1957) and designer Edwin Arthur Schlossberg (born 1945).

| Such a 10: The young Kennedy's looks drew admiring commentary, such as from this woman on Twitter |

| Marriage: One woman on Twitter cheekily declared her desire to be the next Jackie O, JFK's wife |
 |
| Respectful: It appears Jack Schlossberg's work as a budding statesman is as admired as his looks |
He has two older sisters, Rose Kennedy Schlossberg (born 1988) and Tatiana Celia Kennedy Schlossberg (born 1990). Schlossberg is the only grandson of President Kennedy and Jacqueline Lee "Jackie" Bouvier. He is a student at Yale University where he is training to become an EMT (Emergency medical technician), and is a contributor to the Yale Daily News and The Yale Herald. Schlossberg became the only surviving male descendant of the former president when his uncle John Fitzgerald "John-John" Kennedy, Jr., died childless in a plane crash on July 16, 1999. In eighth grade, Schlossberg co-founded ReLight New York which raised more than $100,000 to install compact fluorescent lights in low-income housing developments. In 2012, he announced his intention to pursue a career in politics after college graduation.
The one question this blogger wants to know is how can a family that has some many less then attractive women, can have some many men that are so hot???
