You know what they say, age is just a number. And 'Will & Grace' star Leslie Jordan is proving it in a big way.

The 64-year-old actor has captivated the internet with his quirky videos that have made the veteran character actor an Instagram sensation. Jordan, who has also worked on 'American Horror Story', 'The Help' and more, has garnered over 1.7 million followers since he went into self-isolation with his 84-year-old mother in his hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee. 

Just so we're clear, Jordan doesn't live with his mother (he's very particular about that) but he does live within driving distance so he can check on her. "I decided very quickly I can’t really live here," he recently told Page Six. "You just can’t move back with your mum at 64. It just doesn’t quite work. So, I rented the cutest little place within driving distance so I don’t go out, I go back and forth. Right when I’m getting really stir crazy I think, ‘Oh I’ll go to mum’s,’ and we have a porch swing and we sit out social distancing with the neighbors."

Delivered in his trademark southern drawl, Jordan's videos have provided some much-needed entertainment during the coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown. In the clips, he talks about a number of topics ranging from how he was sent to prison and ended up giving his bed to 'Iron Man' star Robert Downey Jr to Hollywood's approach to homosexuality back when Jordan first came to Tinseltown in 1982.

“It was very wink-wink,” Jordan noted. “You would go to the gay bars at night, you’d see the producers, casting people but if you came across them during the day, it was very wink-wink.”

He even shares his thoughts about more risque topics like watching porn while having breakfast. “Oh, don’t you dare judge me,” he tells viewers during the hilarious video. “Y’all are out there doing it. I can at least watch it. It’s better than CNN."

There's not a lot of people who would be able to summon up the sort of boyish charm and tongue-in-cheek humor that Jordan summons up in his videos, even when they're younger. To see the actor prove to the world that age can't hold him down, it's almost as beautiful as his sense of humor.
