Leslie Jordan recently announced his upcoming new cleaning show, Squeaky Clean. The show is a competition series for cleaning that will stream on Quibi. The 65-year-old legendary television actor opened up how his career boosted during the pandemic.
In an exclusive interview with ET, the actor revealed how his regular activities, such as a conversation with his mother, ranting about the ongoing pandemic, eventually made him meme material. The actor's Instagram has reached over 5 million and growing on a daily basis within a couple of months. Jordan disclosed his upcoming book and a new gig that will drop on New Year's eve.
The A Very Sordid Wedding star seemed to be occupied with a handful of work while most of the celebrities are quarantined. In fact, the actor will be joined by TV personality, Sabrina Soto on his upcoming show, who will help in two rounds on his show, The Big Clean and Quick Scrub.
The actor told Nischelle Turner jokingly that he is the only actor who has utilized the ongoing pandemic to ensure that his career gets a boost. Jordan explained that everyone was "hunkered down" due to the coronavirus and couldn't do many outdoor activities.
Jordan further said that he was quarantined with his two identical twin sisters and mother in Tennessee, while the actor noted that he is 22 months elder to his sisters. The actor surprisingly disclosed how he started posting funny videos on his social media and soon, he received 5.5 million followers on Instagram.
Moreover, the actor posted a video on his Instagram about ET's interview as he shot a quick video before entering the premises. The actor received an immense amount of support from his young fans in the comments section.
A couple of days back, the actor also participated in a dancing challenge on the internet that was trending with #JerusalemaChallenge. The actor shared a video clip in which he danced and sang the epic track as he had food in his hands. The actor admitted that his life took a turn in a way that he never expected.
However, he said he is grateful but also wishes that it would have never happened as he is 65 years old now and it seems too much handle at this age. While he wished it should have happened in his early days of life, though he agreed that he might have messed everything up in his twenties.
