Kim Kardashian wants to be an actress. Having conquered “reality” TV, fashion, social media marketing, and of course, just the notoriety of being a celebrity, the 44-year-old socialite is perhaps looking for substance and a legacy beyond just being famous for being famous.
Give her credit. How else could O.J. Simpson’s goddaughter and former Paris Hilton personal assistant turn a sex tape into a billion-dollar media empire? The concept of social media branding and influencing she took to big business heights.
Monetarily, the Kardashians out earn a dozen nepo babies so it’s no surprise Kardashian is now looking at adding movie premieres to her red carpet schedule. She has already tested the waters with small parts (AMERICAN HORROR STORY, PAW PATROL) which were well received by her followers. And she is taking acting lessons!
With 359 million Instagram followers, can Kim Kardashian influence a movie career?
Kardashian has two film projects she’s pitching to streamers eager to attract her 359 million Instagram followers as viewers and subscribers, including an upcoming thriller film written by GOSSIP GIRL screenwriter Natalie Krinsky for Amazon MGM.
“It’s really fun to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new and grow. I’m so excited for the experience. I like to challenge myself.” Kardashian told Variety when asked about her acting lessons to prepare for AMERICAN HORROR STORY.
It’ll be interesting to see what genre clicks with her audience. Kardashian will no doubt turn any project into a hit just by appearing in it. But, will an acting career keep Ms. K interested or will it just end up by the wayside like her unfinished law degree?
