Paris Hilton, a well-known socialite, reality TV star, model, and occasional actor, is now seeking to showcase her talents as a musician and activist. Her new film, “Infinite Icon: A Virtual Memoir,” will be released in theaters on January 30. It follows Hilton as she records her electro-pop album “Infinite Icon” and prepares for a special performance at the Hollywood Palladium.
Hilton aims to present a more serious side of herself, moving beyond the bubbly persona she developed in the late 1990s. She explained that she created this character as a way to protect herself after experiencing trauma, especially while filming “The Simple Life” for five seasons. Although she acknowledges her playful persona will always be part of her, she now focuses on a more mature image.
As part of her activism, Hilton is advocating for greater federal oversight of youth care programs, sharing her experiences of abuse in residential treatment facilities as a teen. She has also collaborated with congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the Defiance Act to improve rights related to deep-fake pornography. Hilton believes her activism is the most meaningful work of her life, contributing to the creation of 15 state laws and two federal bills.
