Kylie Jenner eyes more acting roles after mockumentary cameo

Kylie Jenner has expressed a keen interest in pursuing further acting roles following her recent film debut in Charli XCX’s mockumentary, The Moment.

The American socialite, 28, featured as an exaggerated version of herself in the satirical comedy, which chronicles a fictionalised lead-up to singer Charli XCX’s world tour.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, the reality star revealed that the idea for her cameo initially arose "as a joke" but quickly evolved into a genuine opportunity. She recounted: "I kind of presented the idea, actually, to (director Aidan Zamiri) as a joke. I was like, ‘well, if you want me to be in it, I would love to’."

Jenner added that the project felt like a "comfortable avenue" for her first acting experience due to her existing relationships with the director and Charli. "They came back, and Charli was really excited, and they legitimately wrote me into the script, and I was like, ‘oh s***. Now I have to do it’," she explained.

Looking ahead, Jenner confirmed her ambition for more screen time. "I’ve actually gotten a few scripts, nothing that I feel is right yet, but I one hundred percent want to do more," she stated, adding: "I really like comedy. I think I’m good at it."

Beyond her burgeoning acting career, Jenner is widely recognised for her role in her family’s reality TV show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and her successful make-up brand, Kylie Cosmetics.

The series, which first aired on E! in 2007, propelled the Kardashian-Jenner family to global fame. Reflecting on her early life, Jenner, the youngest sibling, shared: "I don’t think any of us knew what we were getting ourselves into in the beginning."

She drew a parallel to her own daughter, who is nearly eight, noting: "I was nine, I have a daughter now who’s turning eight, so it’s crazy to see her and how young she is. And this is when you start creating your first memories."

She concluded: "It’s almost like I just don’t know anything else. I never got a taste of normalcy as an adult. Growing up in it almost was a benefit to me because I don’t have anything to compare it to, really."

The star is a mother to two children, Stormi and Aire, with her former partner, rapper Travis Scott. Discussing her experience of early motherhood, she remarked: "I got pregnant when I was 19, I had her when I was 20 – looking back on it, people are like, ‘whoa’."

She added: "They don’t realise how young I was, maybe because I had already had this business, and had been in the world for so long."

Jenner is currently in a relationship with Hollywood actor Timothée Chalamet, with their public appearances during awards season drawing significant media attention. As she approaches her late twenties, Jenner told the US publication that her focus remains on herself, her work, and her family, though she expressed a desire to have more children in the future.
