Sarah Paulson has shared her perspective on Kim Kardashian being recognized as a ‘serious’ actor in 2024.
Although Kardashian is primarily known for her career in reality TV and modeling, she has ventured into acting in recent years.
Kardashian’s upcoming role is in “All’s Fair,” a Hulu drama series developed by renowned creator Ryan Murphy.
The series revolves around a divorced lawyer, portrayed by Kardashian, who leads a female-only law firm in Los Angeles.
In recent times, Kardashian has faced criticism for her decision to pursue acting.
However, Sarah Paulson, who is also part of “All’s Fair,” supports the 43-year-old’s acting journey.
Paulson is currently promoting her new thriller, “Hold Your Breath,” which debuted last month.
In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Paulson discussed Kardashian’s impact in the film industry.
“I think it is absolutely time for people to take Kim Kardashian seriously as an actress. She was absolutely excellent in American Horror Story: Delicate,” she remarked.
“I think the show we’re about to do together is going to be a tremendous amount of fun and she’s going to be glorious on it. I have absolutely no doubt about that. Zero.”
In the AHS series installment, inspired by Danielle Valentine’s book “Delicate Condition,” Kardashian played Siobhan, a high-profile publicist representing Anna Victoria Alcott (Emma Roberts), skillfully juggling intense phone calls with industry insiders.
Viewers praised Kardashian’s performance, with one commenting on social media: “She’s nailing the level of deadpan camp that AHS works well on. Not bad.”
Another viewer remarked: “Her delivery is good, the character is very close to herself so far. I wonder where her character will go down the line.”
As for Paulson, she is delving back into the horror genre with “Hold Your Breath.”
Despite her involvement in horror projects, Paulson has admitted to avoiding horror films due to her fear.
She explained to Yahoo Entertainment: “Listen, the irony is not lost on me. I watched way too many scary films as a child. My father was a 22-year-old dad who was wanting to watch the movies he wanted to watch, and I was like seven or eight years old.”
“He was watching The Exorcist. He was watching The Shining. And then that meant that I was watching it as well, and it was just — it’s just not for me. I just get really, really scared.”
