Outspoken liberal actress Jamie Lee Curtis broke down in tears as she mourned Charlie Kirk as a 'man of faith' and compared him to Jesus Christ.
The Oscar winner grew emotional in an appearance this week on Marc Maron's WTF podcast, saying she wanted to bring up Kirk's assassination 'because it's front of mind.'
Curtis initially referred to Kirk as 'Charlie Crist' - confusing him for the former Florida governor - but corrected herself as she said: 'I just call him Crist, I think, because of Christ, because of his deep belief.'
The actress's tribute to Kirk comes despite her vocal opposition to Donald Trump and many on the Right, including describing the president as 'draconian' when he retook the White House in November.
Curtis's respect for Kirk will likely come as a surprise to many. Her daughter Ruby is transgender, with Kirk one of the most famous anti-trans figures in the US.
