MJ has proven time and again that she is an incredible actress. However, all eyes are currently on Kim Kardashian, who has only had minor acting roles until now. During a recent interview, Patti Lupone explained that she would have preferred to see a professional actor taking Kim’s role. “Excuse me, Kim. What are you doing with your life?” she said.

“Well … you know ... acting. It may not be brain surgery but we do treasure our art. We studied, we suffered, we do suffer for it. Ten thousand hours; it’s a thing,” Sharon Stone agreed on social media.
