“I think it’d be great”: Drag Race star Nina West spills the tea on her dream role
Nina West has opened up about the TV series she would love to guest star on.
Back in May, the beloved talent made her glorious return to the Drag Race werkroom for the franchise’s first-ever charity-led All Stars season.
Throughout the competition, Nina effortlessly showcased her charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent – winning two maxi-challenges and securing four Beautiful Benefactress Badges.
Since the conclusion of All Stars 9, the beloved talent has wasted no time looking toward the future – releasing new music and hosting panels at the 2024 D23 fan event.
In a recent interview with Collider, Nina spilt all the tea about her life post-Drag Race, including the dream role she hopes to land in the future.
“Oh, gosh. Only Murders in the Building is one of my very favourite shows, and Steve Martin and Martin Short are two of my very favourite actors who have inspired so much of who I am and who Nina West is,” she revealed.
“I think it’d be really great if they had a drag character on Only Murders in the Building, and if that drag character was portrayed by me. She could be trying to get the scoop on the podcast.
“I mean, I don’t know who she is in that world, but Only Murders is one of my very favourites. I think it’s so smart and so funny.”
Towards the end of her statement, Nina pitched a hilarious potential storyline involving her teaching the art of drag.
“Maybe she’s helping Martin Short figure out character work, and Martin Short has to get in drag, and the idea makes him uncomfortable but not as uncomfortable as it makes Steve Martin, and then Selena Gomez is all like, ‘No, but I love this.’ I mean, like, hello? It just makes sense,” she explained.
While we’ll just have to wait and see if her Only Murders in the Building manifestation comes true, Nina has already started to break into the acting world.
In 2022, she portrayed the iconic drag queen Divine in the film Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, starring Daniel Radcliffe.
A year prior, she joined the national touring cast of Hairspray, where she played the fan-favourite role of Edna Turnblad.
