Sarah Paulson is looking forward to sharing the screen with Kim Kardashian — and believes it’s time for people to embrace the reality star’s acting era.
While promoting her new psychological thriller Hold Your Breath, Paulson also talked about her highly anticipated show All’s Fair, which reunites her with American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy. Murphy’s new legal drama is about a divorce lawyer (Kardashian) who runs an all-female law firm in Los Angeles. Glenn Close is also attached to the Hulu show. Although some people doubt Kardashian’s career pivot, Paulson is not one of them.
“I think it is absolutely time for people to take Kim Kardashian seriously as an actress. She was absolutely excellent in American Horror Story: Delicate,” Paulson told Yahoo Entertainment. “I think the show we’re about to do together is going to be a tremendous amount of fun and she’s going to be glorious on it. I have absolutely no doubt about that. Zero.”
Before she enters a courtroom, Paulson goes back to a genre people know and love her in with Hulu’s new horror film Hold Your Breath, out Oct. 3. It’s ironic the actress found herself in a scary movie … because she won’t watch them herself.
“Listen, the irony is not lost on me,” Paulson laughed. “I watched way too many scary films as a child. My father was a 22-year-old dad who was wanting to watch the movies he wanted to watch, and I was like 7 or 8 years old. He was watching The Exorcist. He was watching The Shining. And then that meant that I was watching it as well, and it was just — it’s just not for me. I just get really, really scared.”
In this film, Paulson plays a mother who tries to protect her daughters from a sinister presence. The film is set in 1930s Oklahoma during the region’s grisly dust storms. The Bear’s Ebon Moss-Bachrach also stars.
“From an acting standpoint, [horror projects] are the most exhilarating. It’s the most exhilarating genre to work in because you get to take really big swings and you are usually dealing with life-and-death scenarios,” she said. “The stakes are extremely high … I think that’s why I like to do it.”
Hold Your Breath starts streaming Oct. 3 on Hulu.
