The American Horror Story and Will & Grace actor has gone viral for Instagram videos of his antics while stuck on lockdown. Jordan’s follower count, in the thousands before the pandemic, has shot past 3 million on the social media site.

Jordan’s videos are a fun antidote to the fear and negativity of daily life as he tries to adjust to the new “normal.” Whether it’s complaining about being bored, spilling Hollywood gossip, or coming up with activities to occupy himself, viewers giggle along with his shenanigans as he gives us what we most need: a few good laughs.
