Kylie Jenner reveals she's been encouraged to act but turned down roles 'out of fear'

Kylie Jenner said she is open to more acting work, but acceptance depends on finding the right role. Her brief cameo in the mockumentary The Moment, which featured an exaggerated version of herself alongside Charli XCX, encouraged her to pursue additional acting gigs.

The socialite's scene in the satirical comedy The Moment featured an exaggerated version of herself, which chronicled a fictionalized lead up to Charli XCX's world tour. She previously said the idea for her cameo started as a joke."

"Jenner revealed that the cameo idea began as a joke. She told Vanity Fair: “I was like, 'Well, if you want me to be in it, I would love to.'” Jenner added, “They came back, and Charli was really excited, and they legitimately wrote me into the script, and I was like, 'Oh s***.
