Many thought Kim Kardashian was channeling her mom Kris Jenner for her American Horror Story: Delicate role.
However, the 43-year-old recently revealed that it was actually her older sister Kourtney Kardashian Barker who she was using as inspiration.
“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.”
Kim and some of her friends and family watched the AHS: Delicate premiere during a recent episode of The Kardashians on Hulu. See how her daughter North West reacted!
