It’s always exciting when two big names from different worlds come together for a project, and that’s exactly what happened recently when Jessica Simpson teamed up with longtime friend Kim Kardashian for the new Hulu drama series All’s Fair.
Fans got a sneak peek of Jessica’s surprise cameo earlier this month, sparking a lot of buzz about her role and what it was like to be on set with Kim.
A Natural Reunion Fueled by Friendship
Jessica, 44, opened up in a chat with Entertainment Tonight about how working alongside Kim felt surprisingly natural.
“Our kids are best friends, so being on set together was just kind of easy and comfortable,” she said with a smile.
Jessica jokingly added, “She did all the lawyer talk, I did all the whining,” highlighting their fun dynamic during filming.
She also called the whole experience “incredible” and mentioned having a blast while shooting the series.
The Transformation Behind the Scenes
While Jessica’s exact role in All’s Fair is still under wraps, she teased that getting camera-ready was no small feat.
“I did eight hours of prosthetics — it was intense,” she revealed, giving a shoutout to the makeup team.
The pros even told her she had “the most patience of anyone they’ve ever worked with,” which Jessica took as a proud compliment.
She assured fans that her character is quite different from her real self, saying, “I really embody someone that I am not, so I was definitely acting.”
Jessica’s Acting Journey So Far
Jessica Simpson isn’t new to the acting scene.
You might remember her as Daisy Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard back in 2005, or starring opposite Dane Cook in the 2006 comedy Employee of the Month.
But it’s been a while since we saw her on screen, so this cameo marks a notable return for the singer-turned-actress.
Fans Excited About Jessica’s Comeback
After Jessica’s surprise appearance in the All’s Fair trailer, fans quickly took to social media to share their excitement.
One user wrote on X, “I love to see Jessica Simpson returning to acting. She’s an underrated actress.”
It seems her return is warmly welcomed by those who remember her earlier work.
What to Expect From All’s Fair
All’s Fair was first announced back in December 2023 and is the inaugural series under Ryan Murphy’s new overall deal with Disney.
While there’s no official premiere date yet, it’s expected to drop sometime this fall on Hulu.
The show centers on Kim Kardashian playing a powerful Los Angeles-based attorney who leads a successful women-run law firm.
The series was created by Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken, with executive producers including Ryan Murphy, Kim Kardashian herself, and her mom Kris Jenner.
Along with Jessica Simpson, the star-studded cast also includes Brooke Shields, Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson, and Niecy Nash.
Halle Berry was originally part of the lineup but had to bow out due to scheduling conflicts.
Inspiration Behind the Drama
Rumor has it that the show draws inspiration from the real-life Hollywood divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who represented Kim during her high-profile divorces from Kris Humphries and Kanye West.
Fans of Kim and Ryan Murphy may also be excited to know they’ve worked together before on the hit FX series American Horror Story.
