Fortune Feimster is a huge fan of Kim Kardashian—a true bible-thumpin' admirer, if you ask her! In fact, the Zootopia 2 star couldn't help but gush about her experience working with Kim on the upcoming Netflix movie, The Fifth Wheel, while strolling down the Oscars 2026 carpet. "We had the best time," Fortune gushed exclusively to Zuri Hall during Live From E!: Oscars 2026 on March 15. "We filmed in Vegas the last week, so to stroll down the Las Vegas strip with Kim Kardashian was a real treat—everyone was shouting. I mean, she's so popular, there were swarms of people everywhere."

Their time on the set of The Fifth Wheel—which also stars Brenda Song and Nikki Glaser—left Fortune with some new insights. "I learned a lot of beauty secrets and tips," the 45-year-old, dressed in a Giorgio Armani tuxedo, explained. "I would walk into the trailer and she'd be like, 'I put some beauty wand that I found for all you guys.' I'd be like, 'Great! You're also gonna have to teach me how to use it.'"

Overall, Fortune described the media mogul as "very generous," adding of Kim, "She would always give us her energy drink if we were tired. So we'd have a stack of her drinks in our trailer."

While fans will have to wait to see Kim and Fortune share the screen together, in the meantime, Fortune can be heard as Nibbles Maplestick the beaver in the Oscar-nominated Zootopia 2. "They told me they wanted me to play a beaver," Fortune recalled, "and I was like, 'Are you guys messing with me? I was born to play this part.' I can't believe I'm a part of a Disney franchise that's as big as this, and the movie has raked in almost $2 billion."

As for how the conspiracy theorist turned podcasting beaver came to be, the comedian said Nibbles evolved as the movie was underway. "My character's job kind of evolved as we recorded," she explained. "They were like, 'Actually, let's do what's happening in today's time. Podcasting is all the rage—you're a podcaster.' So this fit nicely." She continued, "But then my character becomes very sweet, so you kind of forget that she was a crazy conspiracy theorist."
