‘I like to challenge myself’: Kim Kardashian (‘American Horror Story’) silences haters by taking acting lessons

Ever since American socialite Kim Kardashian was announced as being cast in FX’s “American Horror Story” Season 12 (subtitled “Delicate”), fans have taken to social media to express their hesitation. Even former “AHS” costar Patti LuPone had nothing nice to say about the casting announcement. But Kardashian is prepared to silence all of her haters before she begins filming at the end of May. How? She’s taking acting lessons.

“I am, of course, yes, yes,” she told Variety‘s Marc Malkin at the Met Gala when he asked if she was taking acting lessons (watch below). Kardashian added, “You know, it’s a challenge. I like to challenge myself.”

The media personality also revealed, “We start shooting my stuff at the end of this month, but production’s already started and I’m so excited.” While Kardashian can’t tease anything about her character, she stated, “I think it’s really fun to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new and grow. And I’m so excited for the experience.”

“American Horror Story” marks Kardashian’s first serious acting role in the industry. Some of her previous credits include “Disaster Movie,” “CSI: NY,” “Drop Dead Diva” and “PAW Patrol: The Movie.” She also played versions of herself on “How I Met Your Mother,” “Last Man Standing,” “30 Rock” and “Ocean’s Eight.”
