Actress Jamie Lee Curtis became emotional, breaking down in tears while talking about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. She was speaking on the Marc Maron WTF podcast when she brought it up.
Curtis said: “I’m going to bring something up with you just because it’s front of mind… I disagreed with him on almost every point I ever heard him say, 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. And I hope whatever connection to God means that he felt it.”
Curtis continued, “Yesterday was 9/11. I know there is video of his assassination. I know people who’ve seen it… Yesterday [on 9/11], we watched again these images of those buildings coming down. … Today, we as a society are bombarded with imagery. So we don’t know what the longitudinal effects of seeing those towers come down over and over and over and over again, or watching his execution over and over and over again. … I don’t ever want to see this footage of this man being shot.”
Jamie Lee Curtis latest work can be seen in the new ‘Freakier Friday’ movie out now.
