“Succession” star Nicholas Braun gave fans an update after he attempted to shoot his shot with Kim Kardashian on social media.
“Please stop asking, it does not matter,” Braun captioned a new video posted on Instagram on Friday.
The 32-year-old actor began his video by saying that he wanted to address the situation because he kept receiving messages asking if the 40-year-old reality TV star reached out to him or said anything.
“I don’t care,” Braun said. “That’s not the reason that I made that video. That video was about if a guy – not me – makes a video like that, would it get to her? And no other guys have made it, so I guess you guys think that’s about me.”
The Emmy-nominated actor, known for his role as Greg Hirsch (referred to as Cousin Greg) on HBO‘s “Succession,” continued: “I didn’t care if she responded. She didn’t respond. She didn’t say anything. Nothing. Nobody on her team or in her world said anything.”
“I was really surprised, but I get it because we’re busy. I’m busy and she’s got Skims. And I’ve got to go to the bank tomorrow,” Braun joked, referring to the shapewear line launched by Kardashian.
As the video continued, Braun said that he had moved past his attempts to get Kardashian’s attention. But then he asked if anyone knew how to “get fake followers and fake comments” to boost his popularity on Instagram.
“I’m trying to get on somebody’s radar – this woman who has a lot of followers. Her whole family has a lot of followers, so I’m just looking to beef my currency up a little bit,” he said, seemingly alluding to the Kardashian-Jenner family’s large social media following.
Braun previously voiced interest in dating the mom of four in February after news broke that she filed for divorce from rapper Kanye West after seven years of marriage. The breakup was first reported by TMZ and a rep for Kardashian confirmed the news to Insider.
In a video posted on Instagram, Braun said that the divorce news was “bumming me out” before wondering if Kardashian was “willing to even take a shot on a new guy at this point” after three marriages.
“Would you be down to meet a new person, a totally just kind of different guy? One who could, you know, make you laugh a little bit or make you feel small cause he’s so tall?” Braun, who previously told Insider’s Jacob Shamsian that he’s 6 feet 7 inches, asked.
As Braun continued to describe this hypothetical person, it became clear that he was referring to his own odds of getting noticed by the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star.
“She might see him and go, ‘Hmm, this is kind of different. You know, this guy is odd but maybe in a good way, And he goes to himself, ‘Yeah, you’re right. There’s something real here and there’s something good. There’s a deep understanding between these two souls,'” he said.
