Beloved actor Leslie Jordan was found dead Monday morning after his vehicle crashed into a building in Hollywood, his agent confirmed.
Los Angeles Police said the crash occurred around 9:30 a.m. at Cahuenga Boulevard and Romaine Street. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Jordan, 67, suffered some type of medical emergency.
KTLA footage showed Jordan’s BMW sedan sustained minor damage in the collision and it appeared the vehicle’s airbags had deployed.
Jordan is best known for his roles as Lonnie Garr in “Hearts Afire” and Beverly Leslie in “Will & Grace.” He also had prominent roles in “The Cool Kids,” “Call Me Kat,” and “American Horror Story,” and went viral during the coronavirus pandemic with his hilarious videos posted on social media.
Jordan once failed to recognize Lady Gaga when he first met her while filming 2016’s American Horror Story: Roanoke.
“The first day, I showed up and there was a girl standing there and they said, ‘Leslie, have you met Stefani?'” Jordan said on Wednesday’s episode of Trailblazers Radio with Fancy Hagood of meeting Gaga (born Stefani Germanotta). “And I thought she was maybe an extra. I didn’t know who she was.”
The comedian said, “Nice to meet you. Welcome aboard,” and then quickly walked away from the pop star — who’d won a Golden Globe just a few months earlier for her leading role in American Horror Story‘s previous season, Hotel.
“They could tell I didn’t know,” he said, adding that people were quick to correct him. “They go, ‘Leslie, that’s Gaga.’ I go, ‘Huh-uh.’ They said, ‘Yes, it’s Gaga.’ And she was just adorable.”
