Kim Kardashian is diving headfirst into her acting career, making some surprising sacrifices along the way. The reality TV star recently revealed on an episode of “The Kardashians” that she’s willing to cut back on Botox to enhance her acting skills. However, there’s one thing she won’t compromise on: gaining weight for a role.
Kim’s new venture into acting has taken an unexpected turn with her latest project, “The Fifth Wheel,” which sparked a bidding war among studios and ultimately landed at Netflix. Despite initial doubts about being taken seriously in Hollywood, Kim is now inundated with acting offers.
Discussing her new career path with friends, Kim admitted she didn’t anticipate this level of interest. “Now the pressure’s on because I’m like, ‘Oh s***, this is happening,'” she confessed. “I’m tripping the f*** out low-key because I have to really do this and I have to deliver.” It’s clear that Kim is determined to excel in her new role, but she’s also setting boundaries.
Kim acknowledged that she has about ten years left of looking her best, in her own words, and she’s willing to reduce her Botox usage to be more expressive on camera. However, she drew a firm line at gaining weight for a role, stating, “I ain’t gonna be putting on 500 pounds for a juicy part—Oscars be damned!”
Her recent performance in “American Horror Story: Delicate” alongside Emma Roberts surprised many, showcasing her acting chops as a powerful Hollywood publicist. This isn’t Kim’s first foray into acting; she previously appeared in “Disaster Movie,” Tyler Perry’s “Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor,” and made several TV cameos.
Kim’s decision to pursue acting stems from her desire to challenge herself. “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.”
Despite her reservations, Kim is committed to making her mark in the acting world. “I wasn’t planning on this career and was like, I’m not gonna get ahead of myself here,” she explained. “I’m really nervous about it ’cause I have to f***ing deliver.”
Kim’s acting journey has been a rollercoaster, but she’s determined to succeed. Her role in “American Horror Story: Delicate” marked her return to acting after more than a decade, aside from occasional cameos. She also voiced Delores, a standard poodle, in two “Paw Patrol” movies.
Kim’s acting aspirations have been met with enthusiasm, and she’s taking acting lessons to prepare for her roles. “I think it’s really fun to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new and grow,” she said at the 2023 Met Gala.
As Kim continues to navigate her acting career, one thing is clear: she’s not afraid to make sacrifices, but gaining weight for a role is off the table. With her determination and willingness to challenge herself, Kim Kardashian is poised to make a significant impact in Hollywood.
