After earning praise for her ruthless publicist role in American Horror Story: Delicate, Kim Kardashian is now set to star as the lead in an upcoming movie.
The reality TV star and shapewear entrepreneur will star in comedy The 5th Wheel, with comedian Paula Pell co-penning the script with Janine Brito. Kardashian will also serve as producer together with Pell (via Deadline).
Kardashian has appeared in some films prior to having her big lead role debut, including 2008's spoof comedy Disaster Movie and two PAW Patrol films, in which she lends her voice to poodle Delores.
