At just 18 years old, Kylie Jenner has already lived the majority of her life in the spotlight.
While she’s made a name for herself outside her famous reality family as the woman behind an emerging beauty brand, the teenager looks forward to a day when she has a bit more private time.
“I day dream about when I can get to a place in my life where I can be off the radar,” she told Paper
Magazine as the cover girl of the April issue. “Business-wise, I would love to have a really successful cosmetic line and then family/personal-wise, I’d like to have a really big family and a farm.”
That’s right—the highly glamorous young woman featured in this month’s colorful photoshoot can’t wait to retreat to a home surrounded by wild animals.
It’s just one of the many things outsiders wouldn’t expect to hear from a high-profile Hollywood star like her. Much like any other modern celebrity, Jenner has spent years fighting misconceptions about her, particularly about her physical appearance.
To combat the negativity, she focuses on the plights of other young people and highlights their stories on her own Instagram account—which is currently followed by over 56 million people.
“Growing up and being a young teen socialite comes with a lot of negativity and a lot of mean comments and online bullying and I turn to these people who have real issues and have overcome bullying and done something amazing with it and they really inspire me,” she said. “They make me feel like, ‘Oh wow, they’re going through something much bigger than I could ever imagine.’ It’s just amazing how they stay positive and I wanted to share that with my fans and followers.”
When asked what she thinks is the biggest misunderstanding about her, she turns to a frequent rumor.
“Probably that I’m just super fake and that at 16/17, I got my full face reconstructed and that I only care about materialistic things,” she replied.
Instead, at heart she has the same interests as most ordinary women—including a mild obsession with the wildly successful franchise, Pretty Little Liars.
“The books that I loved the most and read the fastest were the Pretty Little Liars [series], if we’re just talking about a fun one. I think that’s what got me into reading and I read literally every single one so fast and that’s all I talked about all the time,” she revealed. “I’d be like, ‘They need to have a show or a movie!’ And then they got a show and it was the happiest day of my life.”
