Actor Leslie Jordan died in a car accident in Hollywood on Monday morning at the age of 67.
Kayla Braxton of WWE met Jordan just two days before his death, and their photo was the last one Jordan posted to his Instagram feed.
“Thanks for the photo op @kaylabraxtonwwe,” Jordan wrote
On Saturday, Braxton shared a photo of the two in West Hollywood and wrote, “Not that I needed any more reasons to move to LA, but look who I just met [hearts face emoji]”
She tweeted the same photo with the caption, “Applications for the position of my best friend have officially been closed, as I have selected the most qualified candidate.”
Jordan commented on the photo on Instagram, writing, “It was truly a pleasure meeting you [hearts emoji x 4]”
Braxton reacted to Jordan’s death on Twitter, “In utter shock and disbelief – I just met you. And now you’re gone. No words. [broken heart emoji]”
Braxton then reflected on her Saturday interaction with Jordan, writing, “Still processing the loss of Leslie, but I’m so thankful for this moment. He kept saying in his southern accent, ‘you’re just so pretty.’ Made me feel so special. This was the final pic he posted from his IG. Thank you for everything, Leslie. You will be so missed. #RIPLeslie”
