AceShowbiz - Despite portraying fierce rivals in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming Hulu series All’s Fair, premiering November 4, the real-life dynamic between Sarah Paulson and Kim Kardashian was anything but contentious. In fact, Sarah Paulson recently recounted a behind-the-scenes moment so utterly hilarious, it led to uncontrollable laughter and even a near-choking incident involving a potato chip.

Speaking to E! News’ Erin Lim Rhodes at the show’s Los Angeles premiere on October 16, Sarah Paulson shared a memorable anecdote from the set. “I was screaming in her face so much I spit a potato chip on her cheek,” the Emmy winner admitted. She further revealed, “There is video of this—which we have been asking Ryan Murphy to release—of us laughing so hard that I think we started choking.” The moment occurred while Sarah Paulson was fully immersed in a screaming scene, with a tiny piece of crisp inadvertently landing on the SKIMS founder’s face. “She was trying to keep it together,” Sarah Paulson explained, “I couldn’t keep it together.”

While this comedic interlude naturally didn't make the final cut of the intense series, Sarah Paulson playfully suggested, “It’s pretty excellent television, I think.” She confessed that she and co-star Naomi Watts are often “the worst” when it comes to breaking character. However, she specifically highlighted that during one of their most emotionally charged scenes, “Kim Kardashian and I had a problem” maintaining their composure due to the sheer absurdity of the situation.

Beyond the lighthearted unprofessionalism, Sarah Paulson expressed profound admiration for Kim Kardashian’s remarkable sensibilities, particularly given that acting is not her primary profession. “While we were shooting, Kim Kardashian was studying for the bar, running her business, [doing] her reality TV show, mothering her children, knew all her lines,” Sarah Paulson gushed, emphasizing that Kim Kardashian was “so game.” This sentiment was echoed by Naomi Watts, who found the 44-year-old’s ability to dive headfirst into such a demanding role, following her only other major acting credit in American Horror Story, “deeply impressive.”

Naomi Watts elaborated on Kim Kardashian’s innate talent and dedication. “Obviously comfortable in front of the camera,” the Mulholland Drive star shared, “But working with text and a character that has an emotional arc, it was very, very impressive. She’s a hard, hard worker. A fast learner. She was dedicated, focused, on time and also multi-tasking.” This extensive praise from seasoned actors like Sarah Paulson and Naomi Watts, who share the screen with other acclaimed talents such as Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Teyana Taylor, clearly resonated with Kim Kardashian.

For her part, Kim Kardashian was genuinely touched by the accolades from her co-stars. “That is so nice,” she told E! News. “I love these women. We learned a lot together. I learned a lot from them, showing up and coming to set every single day and just seeing them work. Seeing what they do. They are the best at what they do. That is the best lesson.” She also humbly admitted that her seemingly natural on-set presence required significant effort and meticulous preparation.

“I was like, ‘All I have to do is make sure I’m prepared,’” Kim Kardashian explained, outlining her strategy. “‘Make sure I know my lines, make sure I’m on time.’” This candid insight highlights the dedication behind her lauded performance, solidifying the unexpected yet undeniable chemistry and mutual respect between the cast of All’s Fair, both on and off screen.
