celeb cameos American Horror Story

All the iconic celebs you completely forgot had a cameo on American Horror Story

I will be seated for Kim Kardashian’s performance


American Horror Story is known for unhinged plot points, and its habit of throwing some slightly rogue celeb cameos into the mix. One minute you’re watching Adam Levine, and the next minute he’s getting his arm ripped off. Nobody is safe in American Horror Story, not even celebs.

From Kim Kardashian to Lady Gaga, here is the rundown of all the iconic celeb cameos you completely forgot happened in American Horror Story.

Kim Kardashian

Is there anything the Kardashians cannot do? In what will be Kim’s first major acting debut, she plays an unhinged publicist in the newest season of American Horror Story, Delicate.

The role was specifically written for her with Ryan saying “Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family. Halley Feiffer has written a fun, stylish and ultimately terrifying role, especially for Kim, and this season is ambitious and unlike anything we have ever done.”

Kim has also made cameos in How I Met Your Mother, CSI: NY and 30 Rock.

And her first line in the show is too iconic, but we’ll let you find out what it is for yourself.

Billy Porter

Via Netflix

Billy Porter is an American actor and singer who appeared in season eight of American Horror Story, Apocalypse. Billy has a background in musical theatre and won a Tony Award in 2013 for his role in Kinky Boots.

In Apocalypse, Billy plays Behold Chablis, a teacher at the Hawthorn School who pushes Cody Fern’s character to become the Alpha of the coven. Whilst there were no red high-heeled boots in his role he still slayed, naturally.

Adam Levine

Adam Levine starred in the second season of AHS called Asylum. The Maroon Five singer played Leo Morrison who whisks his wife away to an abandoned sanitarium for the mentally ill. How romantic.

The two start to hook up, because nothing sets the mood like an abandoned sanitarium. They suddenly hear a noise through a chute and Leo’s arm is ripped off by a mystery creature. Something tells me that wasn’t the happy ending he had in mind.

Stevie Nicks

Fleetwood Mac’s singer Stevie Nicks appears in both Coven and Apocalypse as herself. Imagine being so iconic you can literally play yourself. She plays a version of herself called The White Witch whose lyrics could only be heard by other witches. She was so loved in Coven that she came back for a surprise cameo in Apocalypse.

Naomi Campbell

World-famous supermodel Naomi Campbell appeared in season five of AHS, Hotel. The model played Claudia Bankson, who was a New York fashionista and editor of a fashion magazine.

Claudia is sadly killed by one of the hotel residents but is later seen haunting the hotel, offering scathing reviews of other characters’ outfits. It’s one thing to have your outfit critiqued, but by a ghost is even more brutal.

Lady Gaga

Overall multi-talented icon Lady Gaga appeared in both Hotel where she played the Countess and Roanoke, where she played a witch. American Horror Story was her first major acting debut was met with massive success and she has gone on to take leading roles in A Star is Born, House of Gucci and the upcoming Joker sequel.

Who knows, maybe the same will happen for Kim Kardashian…

Joan Collins

The legendary Joan Collins makes an appearance in AHS season eight, Apocalypse. She plays the extremely glamorous, greedy Evie Gallant who is an actress, author and columnist. Alongside the other nuclear holocaust survivors, she’s trapped in a post-apocalyptic outpost, harping on her Hollywood lifestyle while eating stew that is most likely made from human flesh.

Honestly, Joan’s lip combo was so good that season, now I want a Joan Collins x Kim Kardashian lip kit.

And who knows, maybe Kim’s success will start the Kardashian American Horror Story, cinematic universe. And if they do, I’m here for it.
