Kylie Jenner has already made a brief foray into acting with her appearance in Charli XCX's mockumentary The Moment, but the 28-year-old billionaire cosmetics entrepreneur has revealed that performing is far more than just a casual side project for her. In a candid conversation on the Big Bro With Kid Cudi podcast, Jenner confessed that she genuinely aspires to expand her acting work, describing it as a lifelong ambition rooted in her childhood dreams of gracing the silver screen.
Comedy Roles and On-Screen Persona
When prompted by host Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, to elaborate on her theatrical ambitions, Jenner enthusiastically declared, 'I would totally do more.' She outlined her ideal role as something within the comedy genre, specifically mentioning a preference for projects with a '2000s vibe or something.' Reflecting on her experience in The Moment, Jenner characterised her portrayal as a 'different' version of herself, candidly admitting that her on-screen persona was notably 'b****ier' compared to her real-life personality.
Admiration for Timothée Chalamet's Work
The conversation also turned to Jenner's appreciation for actor Timothée Chalamet's filmography. When asked to select her favourite of his movies, she initially found the decision challenging, stating, 'That's hard for me because I really love them all.' After some consideration, she ultimately chose the 2017 romantic drama Call Me By Your Name, which she described as 'perfect.' The film, co-starring Armie Hammer, follows the story of a teenager named Elio Perlman who develops a passionate relationship with Oliver, a handsome doctoral student interning for his father during a summer at their Italian villa.
Jenner further expressed her admiration for Chalamet's performances in the Dune franchise, adding that she is eagerly anticipating the upcoming third instalment. This revelation comes amid reports that Jenner frequently expresses pride in her boyfriend, the 30-year-old actor she has been dating since 2023. According to a source speaking to Us Weekly, 'Kylie is really proud of him and is always low-key bragging about him to her friends and family.' The insider noted that Jenner is 'super supportive of his career' and enjoys accompanying him to premieres and awards ceremonies, despite sometimes feeling shy in those settings.
Motherhood and Daily Routine
Beyond her professional aspirations and relationship, Jenner also discussed the profound impact motherhood has had on her life. She disclosed that she wakes up every morning at 7 am, precisely twenty minutes before her two children, Stormi and Aire, to ensure she is fully prepared for the day ahead. Reflecting on her role as a parent, Jenner remarked, 'It's definitely changed me for the better,' emphasising that it provides her with a 'sense of purpose.'
Interestingly, her daughter Stormi has begun watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians and has started asking questions about the family's fame. Jenner found it particularly noteworthy that her daughter is nearly the same age she was when she first appeared on the reality television show. When addressing how she copes with celebrity status, Jenner acknowledged that having thick skin is essential, but ultimately, she simply 'tries my best' to navigate the complexities of public life.
Supportive Partnership
The source close to Jenner further elaborated on her dynamic with Chalamet, revealing, 'Kylie is really in awe of how respected he is by his peers and loves showing up for him. She's always hyping him up and had the best time being by his side at the Oscars. He says she calms his nerves, and he equally loves having her with him.' This mutual support underscores the strength of their relationship as both continue to balance their high-profile careers with personal commitments.
