She’s barely been out of the spotlight since soaring to global fame in 2007 following the release of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
But Kim Kardashian fans were recently left stunned to discover that the star, 41, had starred in a Fall Out Boy video months before making her debut in the E! reality series.
With Kim now hitting headlines once again thanks to her romance with Pete Davidson, the rock band’s video Thnks Fr Th Mmrs has had a resurgence and sees Kim get up close and personal with another Pete – the group’s bassist Pete Wentz.

Fans of the star recently went wild in the comments as they’d only just clocked that the reality star was the glamorous girl leaning in for a kiss with Pete, with one viewer remarking: ‘I will absolutely never get over the fact that Kim K is in this.’
The video was released in March 2007, around the same time as her infamous sex tape with ex-boyfriend Ray J, and despite people knowing of Kim, she didn’t reach superstardom until she starred in Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which first aired in October of that year.
Taking to the comments, one person remarked: ‘I am high right now but is me or does this girl in video look like Kim Kardashian , i mean I have seen this video countless time , I must be tripping.’

She said: ‘I’m a fan of Fall Out Boy and I agreed to do it, and it was so much fun working with them. I think music videos kind of all show the same thing. They kind of want a hot girl and cool cars. This one was totally different.’
The star did admit she had concerns working with real-life monkeys however, admitting it was ‘so scary’.
She continued: ‘I remember my first scene, I had to sit there and watch the boys perform and I had all the monkeys sitting next to me. It was so scary because the trainer was saying, “Don’t call them by their name. Don’t look at them in the eye” basically freaking you out like “Don’t move”.’

Meanwhile Pete Wentz recently reminisced about Kim’s appearance in the video on his new Loud And Sad radio show.
He said in April: ‘I remember we had Kim Kardashian in the video for this song.
‘It’s just so interesting when you look back on that moment and you’re like, ”This is the last moment Fall Out Boy interacted in public with Kim Kardashian where we had the same amount of fame as her”. It’s funny when you look back at this stuff.’
Pete added: ‘Thanks for the memories, Kim.’
Elsewhere, Kim’s relationship with the current Pete in her life is hotting up as she and Pete Davidson are currently enjoying a romantic post-Christmas getaway in The Bahamas.
