Kylie Jenner recently signaled that she may be ready to pursue a new path in entertainment.
The 28-year-old entrepreneur and reality television star shared her interest in acting during a recent interview with Vanity Fair.
According to Jenner, scripts have already begun landing on her desk as she considers expanding her career beyond business and reality television.
“I’ve actually gotten a few scripts, nothing that I feel is right yet, but I 100 percent want to do more,” Jenner said.
She also revealed the type of role she would most enjoy exploring on screen, noting, “I really like comedy. I think I’m good at it. Maybe next time I talk to you, I’ll be the lead of an action movie!”
Jenner recently made a brief on-screen appearance as herself in “The Moment,” a mockumentary centered on British pop star Charli XCX and her BRAT era tour. The film premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival.

They said, “If she thinks she is going to be an actress, especially in comedy films, the joke is actually on her.”

The source claimed Jenner “will get some stuff sent her way due to her connection to Chalamet, and whatever people like [producer] Ryan Murphy will throw at her,” though they suggested those roles may not be major ones.
Instead, the insider predicted Jenner could appear in smaller parts or guest appearances that offer publicity value.
They said she may “fill a small part or guest star so some project gets the ‘Kardashian social media bump.’”
