kim kardashian is getting real about its 10-year plan.
In Thursday’s new episode of The KardashiansKim joins her group of “lifer” friends for dinner to share some exciting news.
Turns out the reality TV star and fashion mogul is taking steps to advance even further her acting careerafter her turn as sinister advertising celebrity Siobhan Corbyn in American Horror Story: Delicate.
In fact, she joined Saturday night live alum and Girls5eva star Paula Pell will sell a new comedy feature to Netflix.
“I didn’t have an agent, and then american horror story…all these different people wanted to meet each other,” she tells the group. “We literally spent a day, went to all the studios and everyone called within about 20 minutes with offers.”
Kim describes the film, titled The Fifth Wheelas a “complete comedy”, with a set in the style The Hangover, Bridesmaids, First Wives Club, etc. Pell wrote the script with his wife and creative partner, Janine Brito, and will co-produce with Kim.
When her friends express their shock that this is the first time they’ve heard about this huge success, Kim admits that she’s surprised too.
“I wasn’t planning on this career path and I thought, ‘OK, I’m not going to rush in here,’” she says. ‘I’m really nervous about it, because I have to deliver… Every year I want to do something that makes me so uncomfortable that I really have to challenge myself.’
The group is nothing but supportive – especially when they hear that stars like Amy Schumer are already in contact about the project. They even encourage her to take on more challenging roles – how about a female 007?
“I feel like you need less Botox to have more emotion, and I don’t have that,” Kim laughs. “How am I going to be scared? How am I going to cry?”
However, Kim says this new acting journey, as daunting as it may be, fits perfectly into her 10-year career plan.
“I can make one film a year,” she explains to the cameras, laughing. “I’ve got about 10 years where I’m still doing well, so that’s all I have in me, and then I’m going to take some time off.”
Kim’s forays into the world of acting have faced a lot of criticism – the most recent being her inclusion in the Varietyin Actors on actors video series.
The reality star sat down with Ryan Murphy Basic Chloe Sevigny to discuss her AHS: Delicate role, and although some viewers walked away from the clip thinking there was animosity between the twoor that Kim didn’t deserve to be interviewed for the series, Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh quickly contested this opinion.
“Chloë was really excited to talk to Kim,” he said during an appearance on Meghan McCainpodcast from, Citizen McCain. “I was in the green room with her right before she went on and they really liked each other and so a lot of what was imposed in that conversation was just imposed because I think people have strong feelings about Kim Kardashian and they don’t. So she’s acting even though she’s the star of her own show on FX, american horror story.”
Sevigny also apparently defended the mother of four when she wrote on Instagram“Our chosen acting career takes many forms. Some are rewarded early. Some of us are journeymen, some have a quieter path, and others a much louder one. And I’m always excited to celebrate all types of actors #actorsonators @variety#I love actresses.”
New episodes of The Kardashians stream Thursdays on Hulu.
