Actress Glenn Close on watching ‘Fatal Attraction’ with Kim Kardashian: “I didn’t know that I showed my breasts so much”

Adrian Lyne’s psychological thriller ‘Fatal Attraction’ was made on a budget of just $14 million but ended up being one of the highest grossing movies of the 1980s (15th in the ranking, pulling in $320.1 million).

It stars Glenn Close as Alex Forrest, a publishing company editor who gets embroiled in a steamy affair with literary attorney Dan Gallagher (played by Michael Douglas). Filled with guilt for cheating on his doting wife Beth, Gallagher abruptly ends the affair, with the hope his work colleague will also understand and move on, taking it for what it was - a brief moment of passion with no strings attached. But Alex, who has developed an unhealthy obsession with the lawyer, doesn’t feel the same way...

It’s close to 40 years since ‘Fatal Attraction’ was released and the new generation of movie fans have never seen it. Among them, Kim Kardashian who found herself working alongside one of the film’s main protagonists in the Hulu TV series, All’s Fair.

While the series hasn’t been well received critically, at least Kim finally got to sit down and watch ‘Fatal Attraction’ after her fellow cast members hooked up for a girls’ movie night.

Close explained all on The Graham Norton Show this week: “It came out that Kim had not seen ‘Fatal Attraction’. So a lot of you probably haven’t either... So everyone said, ‘What! What! What!’ and so Kim said, ‘Let’s all go over to my mother’s house in our Skims pajamas and watch Fatal Attraction. And we did!“.

When asked if she felt awkward watching herself in the 1987 movie, which includes nude scenes, Close replied, “Well, I hadn’t seen it in a very long time. I mean, memories flew back into my mind, especially, I didn’t know that I showed my breasts so much. I mean they weren’t anything spectacular to see, but they were visible.”
