Kim Kardashian has opened up about the one celebrity that left her starstruck.
The SKIMS founder will star in Ryan Murphy's new series, All's Fair, which features an all-star cast, including Sarah Paulson, Teyana Taylor, Naomi Watts, and Niecy Nash-Betts.
The show follows a group of high-powered female lawyers who start their own firm after leaving their previous company, with Kardashian playing the role of Allura Grant, a woman who vows to destroy her younger husband after he marries her for money.

The Star Who Left Kardashian in Awe
During her interview with FourNine's Billy Turner, Kardashian and Nash-Betts were asked if they ever get "starstruck" when meeting other A-listers.
The reality TV star-turned-actress admitted that she had to hold it together when she first met Glenn Close on set.
"No, you get starstruck, but you like hold it together," she said. "One of my first days filming was with Glenn, and I was like 'Oh my God,' and I remember I had to be emotional."
The mom-of-four explained that while she doesn’t typically get intimidated, Close’s presence was undeniably powerful. “I knew what I was working with," she added.
As the show features other iconic names like Elizabeth Berkley, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Judith Light, the cast was asked about the other esteemed actors.
Kardashian's co-star Nash-Betts, who has appeared in Murphy's Monsters series, said she doesn’t get starstruck but is certainly "a huge fan" of the cast, and expressed a desire to watch these legendary actors up close and learn from their process.

Favorite Roles of Co-Stars
When asked about her favorite projects from her fellow cast members, Kardashian shared her admiration for Glenn Close’s performances, particularly her iconic roles as Cruella de Vil in 101 Dalmatians (1996) and 102 Dalmatians (2000), as well as her intense portrayal in Fatal Attraction (1988).
Nash-Betts, on the other hand, had a hard time picking one project and gushed about Paulson's Ratched, saying: "She's good in everything. You can't pick one Sarah Paulson project and be like 'that's the one'."
She also shared that she enjoyed Teyana Taylor's performance in One Battle After Another.

A Future Career In Law
Kardashian’s journey into acting isn’t the only professional goal she’s pursuing. During her appearance on The Graham Norton Show, she revealed her long-term career aspirations.
"Maybe in 10 years, I think I’ll give up being Kim K and be a trial lawyer. That’s what I really want," she shared. "I always want to be growing, curious, and evolving, and I want to see wherever that takes me."
Paulson was quick to commend the businesswoman's work ethic and drive: "The truth of the matter is that she made me feel like a slacker. She’s running a business, she’s looking after four children, she’s studying for the law... she's an impressive person."
All’s Fair is available to stream from November 4 on Disney+.
