Fox News
Gay actor, singer, author and pandemic sensation Leslie Jordan shared what Pride means to him, reflecting on the movement’s evolution on "Fox & Friends Weekend" Sunday.
"Give me a good pandemic, honey, and I flourish," Jordan told Fox News Media senior vice president Michael Tammero, who joined co-hosts, Pete Hegseth, Will Cain, and Rachel Campos-Duffy during NYC Pride Weekend. Jordan "began lockdown in his native Tennessee and ended up a viral sensation," summed up Tammero, noting that his "frequent commiserating Instagram posts" boosted his following on the social media app from roughly 50,000 followers to almost 6 million. While Leslie Jordan may now be a veritable social media influencer, he has long influenced the masses over the course of his 30-year-spanning career as an actor. Perhaps most notable for his role as socialite frenemy Beverly Leslie on NBC's hit show, Will & Grace, Jordan discussed the groundbreaking premise — and what it accomplished — during the interview.More Related News
