Actor Leslie Jordan Shares Touching Story From His Childhood With Katie Couric

[@kuterculik]

I wish I had a father who was as accepting as he had. RIP, Leslie Jordan 🕊

[@22lyric]

Can't believe he's no longer here. But he's with his parents and sister. Thank you, Leslie. 🙏❤️

[@leo-unddieAnderen]

What a precious story and Daddy and Mama he had.

[@meganmadden6484]

I was in an improv class with leslie in the 80s he is just as he genuine as he comes across. I have such fond memories of our times together at Cantor's deli after class.

[@foxibot]

He passed away earlier and they think that it was a medical situation, like maybe a heart attack or stroke. When I was watching him sing his gospel album he said at the end of the song singing about heaven, “ then I will get yo see my daddy.” So I know he’s happy, but boy we sure are gonna miss him and hearing his stories and his voice. This is my favorite hymn he did with the Stapleton’s. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3aQhJJ-it13mrs

Megan, can't imagine YOUR sorrow after knowing him, no matter how briefly. I'm surprised by MY sorrow. I only discovered him when he was on The Cool Kids. Guess I didn't watch all that he had been on before that. Heartbreaking now to see him. My condolences to YOU.

Megan Madden, how lucky you were to have known him.

[@meganmadden6484]

@@22lyric Thank you so much. All of us that did improv with him just knew he would make it big one day .

I love his acting, and he seems like such a genuinely good and kind person! I'm glad he had such a loving upbringing!

[@kennethpullen1618]

Leslie was such a beautiful soul. Never be another like him. So glad we have all these videos to watch so he can still put a smile on our faces and brighten our days.

[@kyosanim9581]

Parent's love and accept your child and battle for the acceptance of your child, for you can't beat them into what you or any other person would have them to be for their or your approval. When you bring in religion, remember there is the Old and the New Testament. But only one supersedes the other. So, if you want to reach the kingdom of God, do better for yourself before you take on using other as your crutch.

[@lindap.p.1337]

Look at how nervous he is. His feet are moving a mile a minute.

[@MelodySchwartz]

I don't think he is nervous. He's a performer and needs to be moving. Perhaps he has some flavors of ADHD 😆.

[@jeffdonnmathew7329]

Iam the 1000th view

[@BlynkyLand]

It doesn't take a "southern" mom to circle the wagons around a child, sugar. Just a good mom. 😗

[@johnreynolds5407]

He's very likable; the American interviewer, not.

[@anniefannycharles9951]

Please don't be rude. Katie Couric is a much loved journalist and television star in our country. This is just one small moment in time.

[@jtrain5615]

If he was born today, they would have turned this charming, wonderful man into a "girl." We need to stop the madness.
