Comedian Leslie Jordan was tragically killed Monday after suffering a ‘medical emergency’ and crashing his BMW into the side of a building.
Known for his work on shows like ‘Will & Grace’ the loveable man recently became Insta-famous for his funny off-the-cuff videos on social media.
During the pandemic, he started posting just as a way to pass the time and blew up on social media in 2020.
‘I would just sit here and think of things and think: ‘oh, that’s funny,” Jordan explained. ‘And I would, you know, put it out.’
Jordan was the first one to say he was surprised by his viral fame — 5.8 million followers on Instagram — calling his videos ‘pillow talk.’
‘People knew me from my characters, but I’m amazed that, people discovered me as me. They loved me. And they came back,’ Jordan said at the time.
Co-star Eric McCormack (Will Truman) tweeted:
‘The funniest & flirtiest southern gent I’ve ever known. The joy and laughter he brought to every one of his #WillandGrace episodes was palpable. Gone about thirty years too soon. You were loved, sweet man.”
He speaks for all of us.
