Ahead of the release of her documentary, Paris Hilton has said she wants to show audiences that she can also be a musician and activist.
Hilton, who is known as a socialite, reality TV star, model and occasional actor, spoke to Reuters about “Infinite Icon: A Virtual Memoir,” which will be released Jan. 30.
It follows Hilton as she records her 2024 electro-pop album ‘Infinite Icon’ and prepares for a one-off performance at the Hollywood Palladium.
During her latest interview, she said she wants to show a more serious side of herself than the bubbly blonde persona she was known for when she first rose to fame in the late 1990s.
“In the beginning, I developed this personality and this character, I think, like an armor or shield,” she said.
“I had just been through so much trauma in my life and then got the first reality show with ‘The Simple Life’ and playing that character over and over again — you know, I didn’t realize I was going to have to do it for five seasons in a row — and then the whole world just got to know me that way,” she added.
While the media personality said she believes her playful personality will always be a part of her, she now wants to show a more mature side.
Paris Hilton is the great-granddaughter of Hilton Hotels founder Conrad Hilton.
