Eva Longoria has heaped praise on Kim Kardashian's acting abilities, calling the reality star 'so funny' in her upcoming directorial effort, 'The Fifth Wheel'. The film, which recently wrapped after a three-month shoot in Las Vegas, is an unapologetically R-rated female comedy written by Janine Brito and Paula Pell.
The plot follows a group of friends whose Las Vegas trip is disrupted by a captivating outsider, played by Kardashian. Longoria, directing the project, described the experience as a 'dream job'. Alongside Kardashian, the cast includes Nikki Glaser, Brenda Song, Fortune Feimster, Jack Whitehall, Casey Wilson, Scott MacArthur and Will Ferrell.
Longoria, who has been friends with Kardashian for 25 years, said the star was the 'anchor of the movie'. 'When I got the job, she said, “Oh, thank God Eva knows I’m funny,”' Longoria told People. 'And she is — she’s so funny. I cannot wait for the world to see how great she is in this movie and hopefully spark more female comedies.'
Kardashian's move to the big screen follows roles in Ryan Murphy's 'All’s Fair' and 'American Horror Story: Delicate', as well as earlier appearances in 'Disaster Movie' and Tyler Perry's 'Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor'.
