Many folks assumed Kim Kardashian was transforming into her mom Kris Jenner for her role in American Horror Story: Delicate. But surprise, surprise, the 43-year-old recently spilled the tea—it was actually her older sister Kourtney Kardashian Barker who she was mimicking.
“I really enjoy it. It started off as something that was a challenge to myself, and I got an amazing opportunity to work with Ryan Murphy, who you know,” she told Chloe Sevigny during their Variety Actors on Actors interview about joining AHS.
“He came to me with an idea that was kind of reality-based, and I wasn’t into it,” she continued. “And then he said, ‘I really want to write something for you. Would you consider doing American Horror Story?’ I obviously know the franchise—and it was an honor. Sometimes it just takes that one person to really believe in you and give you that push.”
As for her characterization playing publicist Siobhan Corbyn, Kim shared, “It’s funny, I was really channeling my sister Kourtney and someone that I work with. And everyone, when it came out, they were like, ‘That is Kris Jenner all the way.’ And I was like, ‘I guess I had that preparation already, but it’s not what I was thinking.’ But I so see it now.”
