Kim Kardashian made a huge impression on Emma Roberts after working together on the latest season of American Horror Story (AHS).
Reflecting on their time together on set, the 32-year-old actress was in awe of the 43-year-old TV presenter’s dedication to her craft, playing fictional publicist Siobhan Corbin in Ryan Murphy’s campy horror show.
“She’s amazing, she’s a professional,” the mother of one told Extra. “She’s one of the most prepared people I’ve ever worked with and she’s just calm. I love her so much!’
In season 12 of AHS, star Holiday, whose father Eric Roberts announced Wednesday he is writing a memoir, portrays one of Kardashian’s clients, an actress desperate for an Oscar and a baby.
Additionally, she has been thrilled to work with Murphy since appearing in the third season of American Horror Story in 2013, as well as both seasons of his hit series Scream Queens (2015 to 2016).
Emma praised the 58-year-old TV producer for creating “entire worlds” and “putting concepts on paper that sound like one” and then making them completely his own.
“Ryan knows everything down to the details of a shoe, so I love working with him because he doesn’t do just one thing,” she noted.
After landing the role on her show, Kardashian took several acting lessons to prove she was fully committed to the project.
When asked if she takes acting lessons, the SKIMS founder assured Variety: “Of course I do. It’s a challenge. I like to challenge myself.”
The decision to hire the reality TV star was initially met with some skepticism, but the mum-of-four has previously insisted she doesn’t care what people think of her.
Discussing her talents and keys to success, Kim told Interview Magazine, “I was like, ‘Well, we have a TV show.’ But just because we don’t sing, dance or act in shows doesn’t mean fame didn’t come because of it.
“But then I would write it as a hashtag, not bad for a girl with no talent, because people used to say, ‘Well, what do you do?’ What is your talent? And I was like, “I didn’t know I needed him.”
Following the casting announcement, Murphy said in a statement to THR that “Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world, and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family.”
Adding: “Emma and I are thrilled to partner with this true force in culture. Hallie Feiffer wrote a funny, stylish and ultimately terrifying role specifically for Kim, and this season is ambitious and unlike anything we’ve ever done.”
Over the years, Kim voiced the character Delores in PAW Patrol: The Movie, which was released in 2021, and reprized the role in PAW Patrol: Mighty Movie.
She also appeared in Ocean’s 8 in 2018, 2 Broke Girls in 2014, and voiced a character in American Dad! She played Ava in Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor in 2014 and Nikki Lepri in Drop Dead Diva in 2012 for four episodes.
