Animal Chat LJ: My current dog came to me from a homeless guy. I would see him around Starbucks and walking the neighborhood. The dog is a wonderful Lab/Malamute mix. All the characteristics of a Lab but with a black, long silky coat. I gave the homeless guy my phone number in case he ever needed someone to foster the dog. He called one day and said he could no longer look after the dog. It was a heart wrenching decision. He had the dog since he was a pupply. So we met at The Post Office on Beverly. Beauregard was well taken care of but really old. He was twelve then. He is such a sweet, well-mannered old dog. The homeless guy is still in Beau’s life. He comes by weekly and takes Beau to the park. So Beau does not in anyway think he was abandoned. It was an amazing transition. DD: Do you consider Beauregard a family member, child, pet, or? Also, Does Beau go on set and travel with you?
LJ: Daniel, I think of Beauregard as family. It is extremely difficult to leave him. But with my job, I travel quite a bit. I do acting jobs out of town and also I am on the gay stand- up comedy circuit. I have a dear friend who stays with Beau. There is no way I could take him with me. He weighs a hundred pounds and has trouble getting around. I sometimes think that Beau likes my friend who stays with him better than me as my friend loves to get down and wrestle with Beau. They roughhouse and roll all over the place. I’m more the “toss the ball and you go get it” kind of owner. DD: So tell us what’s going on in the iconic Leslie Jordan’s world, I see you are back on Will & Grace and funny as ever! You have also been on so many other shows like American Horror Story, Celebrity Big Brother, Sordid Lives, etc, so anything new in the future we should lookout for? LJ: So I am currently working some on the reboot of “Will and Grace.” I have also written “the book” for a musical called “GLORY! GLORY!” which is having a Staged Reading in Jackson, Mississippi next month. We hope to get the show to Broadway. But what a journey that has turned out to be. I also have a TV series that only airs in The UK. It is called “Living The Dream.” It airs on SKY TV. We have been picked up for a second season. We shoot in Spain! So it looks to be a good year for Leslie Jordan and his faithful companion, Beauregard. DD: Fabulous!...and Thank you Leslie!
