Leslie Jordan was best known for his work on American Horror Story, Will & Grace, Hearts Afire, and Call Me Kat, but devastating fans say they'll miss him most for his popular social media videos.
The COVID-19 pandemic's peak in recent years coincided with the comedian's meteoric rise to stardom. He shared uplifting, humorous, and cheerful clips that kept many admirers afloat during confinement and beyond with his 4'10" physique and appealing southern twang.
"I’m so sad you got me through the covid lockdown! Made me laugh no matter what," one TikTok user commented beneath Jordan’s last post dated three days before his death.
Let's just reminisce about the comic star by watching some of his most liked TikTok.
"I was just talking to a friend of mine, and we were comparing our coming out stories," Jordan told his 2.3 million TikTok followers as recently as Oct. 7.
"And I said that in high school, I would tell people that I had this secret. … And I would tell them, ‘I’m gay,’ and they would look at me and go, ‘Yeah, and? What’s the secret? You’re gay and you murdered somebody?'"
Just when the comedian wasn’t telling his adorable “dad jokes,” Jordan was showing off his sick dance moves.
"So here I am in my car, minding my own business, and this crazy person comes running up to the side here. He ambushed me. I’m a freak magnet!" Jordan said in a clip from July while sitting in the driver’s seat of his convertible.
The actor elucidated that the stranger cautioned him about getting his hatless head diced or exposing it to skin cancer.
"Finally, I said, ‘Get the f–k away from my car!'" he remembered as the top of his vehicle could be seen gradually going back up.
"It scared him so bad, he took off running," he said. “But I am gonna listen to him.”
Jordan took his followers to the snack bar after showing them the scene from his hotel room while he was in Las Vegas in June.
"You know what they say: Whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," he said, opening a drawer that contained packed treats.
"I ate every one of ’em, but I put the boxes back," he revealed. "You better not tell on me!"
