Kim Kardashian is not just a reality TV star; she’s diving into the acting world with full force. On a recent episode of “The Kardashians,” she revealed her commitment to her new acting career, discussing her lead role in the upcoming comedy “The Fifth Wheel,” which has secured a deal with Netflix after a competitive bidding war. Despite her initial doubts about being taken seriously in Hollywood, Kim is now inundated with acting opportunities, a development that has left her both excited and a bit anxious. She candidly shared her concerns, saying, “Now the pressure’s on because I’m like, ‘Oh s, this is happening,’ I’m tripping the f out low-key because I have to really do this and I have to deliver.” This underscores her determination to excel in her new career path.
In a bid to be taken more seriously as an actress, Kim mentioned she’s willing to forgo some of her beauty routines, including her regular use of Botox. She believes reducing Botox will help her be more expressive on camera, which is crucial for her roles. However, there are limits to her commitment to method acting. Kim humorously pointed out that while she’s eager to take on challenging roles, she draws the line at significant weight gain. “I ain’t gonna be putting on 500 pounds for a juicy part — Oscars be damned!” she joked, emphasizing her dedication to maintaining her appearance.
Kim’s acting ambitions have already started to bear fruit. She recently surprised audiences with her role in “American Horror Story: Delicate,” where she played a high-powered Hollywood publicist alongside Emma Roberts. This performance has turned heads and garnered more attention for her acting capabilities. Previously, Kim has had roles in films like “Disaster Movie” and Tyler Perry’s “Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor,” along with several TV cameos, but her recent endeavors show a deeper commitment to honing her craft.
Discussing her decision to pursue acting, Kim shared that she seeks out challenges that push her out of her comfort zone. “It’s such a challenge for me and I want to welcome a challenge,” she said. “Every year I want to do something that makes me so uncomfortable that I really have to challenge myself.” This drive to continuously push her boundaries is a testament to her evolving ambitions beyond her reality TV persona.
Kim Kardashian’s foray into acting signifies a new chapter in her multifaceted career. With her determination and willingness to adapt (to a point), she’s poised to make a significant impact on the screen. As she continues to embrace these new opportunities, audiences can expect to see much more of Kim in diverse and demanding roles.
