Jamie Lee Curtis cries while discussing Charlie…
Jamie Lee Curtis was left in tears while discussing “man of faith” Charlie Kirk in the wake of his assassination and was noticeably moved by his deep “connection to God.”
“I’m going to bring something up with you just because it’s front of mind. Charlie Crist was killed two days ago,” Curtis, 66, said on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast on Monday.
The comic corrected her that it’s “Kirk, not Crist,” to which the “Halloween” star replied, “I just call him Crist, I think, because of Christ, because of his deep belief.”

Acknowledging that she had nothing politically in common with Kirk and “disagreed with him on almost every point,” Curtis was combating back tears when she spoke of his spirituality.
“I believe he was a man of faith, and I hope in that moment when he died that he felt connected to his faith,” the “Freaky Friday” actress said.
“Even though I find what his ideas were abhorrent to me, I still believe he’s a father and a husband and a man of faith, and I hope whatever ‘connection to God’ means, that he felt it.”
Curtis famous that society is consistently “bombarded” with imagery, making it unclear what the long-term affect may be of repeatedly watching traumatic occasions — including videos of the 9/11 terrorist assaults or the footage of Charlie Kirk’s “execution” being seen “over and over and over again.”
“That kind of—I don’t ever want to see this footage of this man being shot,” she said while choking up.

The “Everything Everywhere All at Once” actress added that she is “associated” with an American tragedy witnessed by many on tv, since she was born 5 years to the day of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
“I’m associated with this awful day of someone being assassinated on television,” she said.
“We are numb to them, but they are in there. We don’t know, we don’t know enough psychologically about what that does. What does that do? Is that the case why we’re all feeling this lack of humanity—because we are just saturated with these images?”
Kirk, 31, was shot and killed on Sept. 10 while talking at Utah Valley University as half of his “American Comeback Tour,” launching a multi-day manhunt that ended with the arrest of alleged murderer Tyler Robinson on Friday.
Turning Point USA — the conservative nonprofit group based by Kirk in 2012 — paid tribute to the daddy of three as somebody who deeply liked Christ, noting that “above all, he wished to be remembered for his faith.”
President Trump was the first to publicly announce Kirk’s death and also said he would posthumously award his close ally the Presidential Medal of Freedom – the nation’s highest honor.
Robinson, a 22-year-old from St. George, Utah, has since refused to cooperate with the FBI as it investigates Kirk’s homicide following his arrest.
