Zachary Quinto praises Kim Kardashian in American Horror Story
Zachary Quinto gave Kim Kardashian his two “thumbs up” for her portrayal in the upcoming twelfth season of American Horror Story, set to premiere later this year on FX and Hulu, respectively.
This season’s chapter will be titled Delicate and is based on the upcoming novel, Delicate Condition by Danielle Valentine and the 1960s cult classic film, Rosemary‘s Baby.
The actor, who starred in previous seasons (you may remember Quinto in season two, where he played a psychiatrist turned murderer), was in attendance at the Tribeca Film Festival on Friday, June 9th, for the premiere of his latest film He Went That Way. During the press session, Quinto was asked about season twelve of the anthology series and Kim Kardashian, who has a pivotal role. She will be co-starring alongside AHS vet, Emma Roberts.
“I did a cameo on this season of American Horror Story, and I got to meet her,” Quinto revealed to People and several other outlets. “She [Kim] was so lovely and warm and, really, I don‘t think she needs my advice. She seemed really in her element, and I was really impressed by her spirit and her openness. I really look forward to seeing this season because I think she’s gonna do a wonderful job.”
Ryan Murphy, the creator of AHS, is thrilled that The Kardashians star is now a part of the AHS family. He adds that series writer Halley Feiffer “has written a fun, stylish, and ultimately terrifying role, especially for Kim, and this season is ambitious and unlike anything we have ever done.”
At the Met Gala in May, where Kim wore a custom dress drenched in pearls, she told Variety that she had taken acting lessons to better prepare for her character.
“It‘s really fun to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new and grow. I‘m so excited for the experience,” the mom of four said. “It’s a challenge. I like to challenge myself.”
AHS is only one of the projects Kim has lined up this year. In August, she’ll reprise her role as Dolores the Poodle in Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie. North and Saint West, her two oldest children, will be making their acting debuts in the movie, making it a fun family project.
We love to see it.
