The actress is portraying the 59-year-old in the upcoming FX series American Crime Story: The People vs O.J. Simpson.
Talking about her favourite momager, Selma told Us Weekly, “I happen to love Kris Jenner.”
“I found her to be endearing and extremely intelligent and warm and generous. I don’t have enough good things to say about her,” the 43-year-old gushed. “I thought she was wonderful. I don’t think I knew just how amazingly likeable she is and how giving.”
The FX series tells the story of the 1995 murder trial of OJ Simpson and features a star-studded cast that includes Cuba Gooding Jr. as OJ Simpson, Selma as Kris Kardashian and David Schwimmer as Robert Kardashian.
The Cruel Intentions actress told the American publication that she closely followed the proceedings, which culminated in a not guilty verdict handed down 20 years ago .
At the time of the trial, Kris was married to OJ’s defence attorney, Robert Kardashian.
“I remember really following the O.J. Simpson case and really feeling tremendously for Ron Goldman’s family and Nicole Brown Simpson,” Selma recalled. “I think it’s important to keep remembering.”
Back in May, Selma did her first red carpet with Kris, telling Us Magazine, “People do say I look like Kris! You kind of have to get in her mindset from like 20 years ago with this trial.”
We can’t wait to check out the show, which is set to air early next year.
