I was really channeling my sister Kourtney [Kardashian Barker] and someone that I work with,” Kardashian told Sevigny, 49.
Kim Kardashian Was ‘Channeling’ Kourtney for Her AHS Character but Wound Up Emulating Mom Kris
In a conversation with Chloë Sevigny for Variety’s Actors on Actors, Kardashian, 43, reflected on how she approached playing the cutthroat publicist — who works for Emma Roberts’ Anna Victoria Alcott — and revealed who in her family inspired her the most.
“I was really channeling my sister Kourtney [Kardashian Barker] and someone that I work with,” Kardashian told Sevigny, 49.
But despite her intention to channel her older sister, 45, Kim’s character ended up looking a lot like another one of her family members.
“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,” she said.
It was a successful partnership, given that the pair are set to work together again on another series, where Kim will play what she described to Sevigny as “a high-powered divorce attorney.”
“I’m really excited about it. And, again, that confidence that he believes in me to take this project on means so much to me. And it feels so right as a character that I could be a lawyer in real life and play one on TV,” she explained.
