Kim Kardashian reveals Botox may handicap acting career, fears she’ll only ‘look good’ for 10 more years
Reality star appears in latest season of ‘American Horror Story’
Kim Kardashian has her eyes on her next goal, even if it scares her.
During Thursday’s episode of “The Kardashians” on Hulu, she spoke more about her “actress era” and her plans to expand her acting resume.
However, she admitted that she’s worried her use of Botox might be limiting her potential career.
“I also feel like you need less Botox for more emotion, and I don’t have it,” she told friends at dinner.
“I’m not going to be gaining 500 pounds for a role and losing it … that just like not where I need to be. How am I going to cry? How am I going to be scared out of my mind?” she continued, playfully pretending to emote poorly.
But many Hollywood and PR experts think Kardashian’s Botox concerns aren’t really an issue.
“It does not affect or impact on your ability to show emotion. There are many successful actors who utilize its youthful effects and are quite able to give award-winning performances,” Kathy Fielder, CEO at THRIVE by Kathy Fielder, told Fox News Digital. “Makeup artists can work ‘magic’ with their craft to create a lot of emotion on your face as well.”
Fielder added, “As a long-time user of Botox personally, I would find it quite difficult to stop at this point. I cannot speak for Kim personally as to whether or not she would stop using it, but it does create a more youthful appearance, and it is no secret the importance of this to the Kardashian family.”
Brian Balthazar of Balthazar Entertainment agreed with Fielder that Botox shouldn’t stop Kardashian from pursuing acting.
“Botox need not be a concern. Look at the foreheads of some of your favorite actresses – and actors for that matter! Many of them are smoother than a porcelain plate!” he said.
