Jamie Lee Curtis is feeling emotional about the killing of Charlie Kirk.
The "Freakier Friday" star, 66, cried on the "WTF with Marc Maron" podcast while discussing the Turning Point USA cofounder's recent assassination.
"I disagreed with him on almost every point I ever heard him say," Curtis said in the episode released on Monday, Sept. 15. "But I believe he was a man of faith, and I hope in that moment when he died, that he felt connected to his faith, even though his ideas were abhorrent to me."
She continued, "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."
Kirk was shot and killed on Sept. 10 while appearing before a crowd at Utah Valley University. A suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, has been arrested and accused of killing Kirk. He is expected to make his first appearance in court on Sept. 16.
Curtis' podcast episode was recorded two days after Kirk's killing and one day after the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. She brought up Kirk while expressing concern about the psychological impact that disturbing videos taken during events like Kirk's shooting or 9/11 may have on people.
"We don't know enough, psychologically, about what that does," she said. "What does that do? I don't ever want to see this footage of (Kirk) being shot. Is that the reason why we're all feeling this lack of humanity? Because we are just saturated with these images."
Republican and Democratic politicians alike have condemned political violence in the aftermath of Kirk's death, as have numerous Hollywood stars.
Comedian Rosie O'Donnell wrote on Instagram that Kirk's killing was "wrong on every level," while "The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert sent condolences to Kirk's "family and all of his loved ones."
"I'm old enough to personally remember the political violence of the 1960s, and I hope it is obvious to everyone in America that political violence does not solve any of our political differences," Colbert said on his show on Sept. 10. "Political violence only leads to more political violence."
In a Sept. 10 Instagram post, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel wrote, "Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human?" He added, "On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence."
Coldplay singer Chris Martin also referenced Kirk's death during a concert in London while urging fans to spread love to people around the world.
"You can send it to Charlie Kirk’s family, you can send it to anybody’s family," he said. "You can send it to people you disagree with, but you send them love anyway."
