The “Freaky Friday” star was moved during an appearance on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast when she commented on the death of Charlie Kirk. Jamie Lee Curtis called him a “man of faith.”
“I’ll mention something to you just because it’s very present in my mind. Charlie Crist was killed two days ago,” said Jamie Lee Curtis on the episode released Monday (15).
Host Marc Maron corrected her: “Kirk, not Crist.” “Sorry, Kirk. I just call him Crist, I guess, because of Christ, because of his deep belief,” the actress said emotionally.
“I mean, 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 that at the moment he died, he felt connected to his faith,” she lamented.
Jamie Lee Curtis recalled disagreeing with Kirk and called some of his ideas “abhorrent.” “I still believe he was a father, a husband, and a man of faith, and I hope that whatever ‘connecting with God’ means, he felt that.”
Charlie Kirk was discussing a massacre during a Turning Point USA event on the Utah Valley University campus when he was shot in the neck. He died at the scene.
The actress added that Kirk’s political stance was not a reason to celebrate the activist’s death. She fears people have become desensitized to such situations.
“We are numbed to them, but they stay inside us. We don’t know, we don’t know enough psychologically about what this causes. What does this cause?” Jamie Lee Curtis asked.
