Whoopi Goldberg says Warner Bros won't say yes to a movie if Kim Kardashian
wants to do it
Whoopi Goldberg discussed Charlize Theron’s
comments about Kim Kardashian that she can “get way more off the ground”
than Meryl Streep.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter,
the Snow White and the Huntsman star talked about the current state of the
entertainment industry.
“The marketplace of what Kim Kardashian represents has way more value than what Meryl Streep, one of the greatest actresses working, does,” she said,
“They have very different skills, but if you were Kim Kardashian, you’d probably get way more off the ground,” the actor added.
Reacting to Theron’s statements, Goldberg said during the recent episode of The View, “I don’t think that’s true.”
“Kim Kardashian cannot get a movie greenlit, or it would’ve
happened,” Goldberg added. “She can’t do that. She can get television shows
made, maybe, but that's about it.”
Theron has “more pull in the
industry than I’ve got in the industry”, she continued. “You get stuff done
faster than I can. Till took me 11 years,” the host referred to her movie
about Emmett Till.
Before concluding, Goldberg added, “I’d never
minimize [Kardashian], but Warner Bros is not going to say yes to a movie
because she wants to do it.”
