Cooper Koch, who played Erik Menendez in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, recently shared a deeply personal and surreal experience: visiting the Menendez brothers in prison with Kim Kardashian. Reflecting on the experience in an interview with Paper Magazine, Cooper expressed immense gratitude for Kim, who facilitated the meeting through her passion for prison reform.
The connection happened swiftly, thanks to Cooper’s stylist, Jamie, who called him on a Monday, and by Saturday, a plan was in place for the visit. Cooper described the day as life-changing, acknowledging Kim’s dedication to incarcerated individuals and prison reform. He highlighted that this experience, along with watching the show with friends and family, were the two most meaningful days for him.
Looking ahead, Cooper is being selective about his career choices. While he has some potential projects in the works, he emphasized that he’s focused on long-term success rather than rushing to the next gig. He wants to take on roles that resonate with him personally and allow him to collaborate with like-minded individuals. For Cooper, the goal is not fame or money, but telling meaningful stories.
Recently, Cooper also attended a special event with Kim Kardashian, further highlighting their continued collaboration and shared interests.
