O.J. Simpson Movie Parallels Kim Kardashian’s Moon Landing Claim
In the late 1970s, Hollywood tried to turn O.J. Simpson into a full-fledged movie star. Around that time, the San Francisco native was transitioning from his role as an NFL running back to becoming a popular Hertz spokesman, sports commentator, and entertainment personality. He was supported in this career shift by his close friend, lawyer, and businessman Robert Kardashian.
Now, in 2025, one of Simpson’s films from that period seems oddly connected to a recent claim made by Robert Kardashian’s daughter, Kim Kardashian, on her family’s reality show.
Kim Kardashian’s Bold Moon Landing Statement
During a Thursday episode of “The Kardashians,” Kim Kardashian stated that she doubts the authenticity of the 1969 moon landing, according to People. She made this remark while trying to persuade actress Sarah Paulson, her co-star in the series “All’s Fair,” to share her skepticism.
“I’ve seen a few videos of Buzz Aldrin talking about how it didn’t happen. He says it all the time now, in interviews,” Kardashian claimed.
However, fact-checking source FullFact.org clarified that astronaut Buzz Aldrin has never said the Apollo 11 moon landing was staged.
Parallels Between Fiction and Belief
Long before Kim Kardashian’s claim, O.J. Simpson played a role in a 1970s movie whose storyline involved a faked space mission, coincidentally echoing the same conspiracy she now references. The film, though fictional, has taken on a curious cultural afterlife due to this new connection.

In 2025, Kim Kardashian reignited moon landing conspiracy talk—ironically mirroring a 1970s O.J. Simpson film that imagined a similar hoax, tying two unlikely pop culture moments together.
