lick pet person LESLIE JORDAN & DANIEL DICRISCIO
“Will and Grace is back on the air and all the characters we have loved, laughed with and missed have returned to our lives and TV’s! Will, Jack, Grace, Karen... and Beverly Leslie! “ Leslie Jordan (aka Beverly Leslie) is such a talented, funny, and memorable Emmy award winning actor and playwright who has such an immense and respectable resume. Leslie won an Emmy for his work on “Will and Grace”! It’s that face and diminutive stature ...that adorably intoxicating southern accent.... and his legendary dry sarcastic bantering with Karen Walker (Megan Mullally) and cast that has the viewers sitting on the edge of their seats, cracking up with laughter, just waiting to hear those funny one liner comebacks! You may have also seen Leslie on such TV shows as Celebrity Big Brother, American Horror Story, Sordid Lives and so many more.... plus books, talk show appearances, and his live shows you may begin to wonder where this tiny dynamo gets all his energy considering his career has spanned decades and there’s no sign of stopping anytime in the future . Fun Fact: Leslie and I both co-starred in a funny music video that was from one of his Celebrity Big Brother house-mates. One thing about Leslie that is so admirable is his love for animals. I recently met Leslie and his beautiful dog, Beauregard, on a walk New Years Eve day and amid our chit chat I was so taken by his love for his dog that I asked him to be my next celebrity “Animal Chat”. Leslie obliged with his sweet southern charm and as you can see in the photo for this interview, so did Beauregard! In true Leslie Jordan fashion ...or was it Beverly Leslie, lol, ...when I was taking our selfie photo with Beau too, Leslie said in his trademark drawl regarding our pic, ”Oh My, it looks like a photo from Vogue Magazine!” Leslie’s the sweetest ever! You gotta love him...and it’s clear the public agrees and adores him!
Daniel DiCriscio: Leslie, have you always had pets and was your family into pets as well while you were growing up? Leslie Jordan: You know, Daniel, growing up we always had pets. Dogs and cats. I remember cats always having kittens back then. Once behind the washing machine and we didn’t even know she was pregnant. I remember my first dog was Scamper was hit by a car. It was devastating. But there were always turtles, goldfish, mice and even baby chickens at Easter. Having pets is a great way to teach kids responsibility. When I was four, I got a pony. After that, it was always horses! I even was an Exercise Rider for thoroughbred race horses in my early 20’s. DD: Would you consider yourself a Dog or a Cat person and why? LJ: I am definitely a dog person. I love cats but I have always had dogs as an adult. DD: How did you find your current gorgeous dog Beauregard and what kind of breed is he?
