Succession's Nicholas Braun hits on Kim Kardashian as he jokes 'take a shot on a new guy'

Nicholas Braun has wasted no time in publicly hitting on Kim Kardashian, amid reports that she is to divorce her husband Kanye West.

The 32-year-old actor, who is best known for his role in Succession, posted a semi-serious video on social media in which he staked his claim as an eligible bachelor for when the 40-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star becomes single again.

Nicholas admitted that he was "odd" but urged Kim to consider dating a guy like him when she is ready to meet someone new.

The actor gave a completely deadpan performance in the clip as he reveals that Kim and Kanye's divorce had been "bumming" him out.

Nicholas said in the clip: "It hurts to think about how they're feeling and how she's feeling, I mean, I'm wondering at this point, where do they even go from here? Where does she go from… at this moment.

"Cause she's been through three marriages now, and it's like, are you willing to even take a shot on a new guy at this point? Would you be down to meet a new person, totally just kind of different guy?"

Nicholas would certainly fit that criteria, being 6ft 6in tall and a native of New York.

He continued: "Just a guy who's talking about her on the internet. A guy who makes a video like this and he's sort of like trying to find a way to just talk to her because he doesn’t know anybody who knows her,

"And so he's just sort of making a video that might like possibly penetrate her... not the right word choice... but enter her sphere of... you know?"

Nicholas continued to think out loud and wondered if Kim would think a guy like him might be the way forward for her in the future.

He added: "She might see him and she might go, 'Hmm, this is kind of different. This guy is odd, but maybe in a good way.'

"And he goes to himself, 'yeah you're right, there's something real here and something good.'

"So could something like that happen for her? Is all I'm wondering, really."

Kim reportedly filed for divorce from Kanye on Friday, after months of speculation about the couple's marriage.

They have been married almost seven years, with Kim previously getting hitched to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004 and NBA player Kris Humphries in 2011 for 72 days.

Nicholas earned his first Emmy nomination for his role as Cousin Greg on Succession last year.
