Jamie Lee Curtis gets emotional over death of Charlie Kirk

Jamie Lee Curtis was brought to tears while discussing the death of controversial right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk during an emotional moment on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast.

In the episode released Monday (15 September), the Freaky Friday star, 66, became visibly emotional as she reflected on Kirk’s recent death. The Donald Trump ally was shot and killed while speaking at a university event.

Curtis briefly misnamed him as “Charlie Christ” before expressing her deep disagreements with Kirk’s political views.

“I disagreed with him on almost every point,” she said, “But I believe he was a man of faith, and I hope in that moment when he died, that he felt connected with his faith. Even though his ideas were abhorrent to me, I still believe he’s a father and a husband and a man of faith.”
