Chloë Sevigny never let her It Girl status define her

What’s the cost of being cool? Back in the ‘90s and early ‘00s there was no one cooler than Chloë Sevigny, the ultimate It Girl. She was an in-demand model and actor who was known for her unique eye for fashion as well as for starring in indie films that are now considered cult classics. Chloë sits down with Tom to talk about that time in her life and how being cool affected her career, plus her latest film, "Bonjour Tristesse,” which just had its world premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival.

Wildly underrated actor.

[@JustMeeZZ]

I agree. That's why it puzzles me why she agreed to be on a magazine cover with Kim Kardashian.

[@gingoyalho1400]

@@JustMeeZZwell she's talked about being more open to opportunities

[@Sonofgrievous]

Agree and nice pic 😎

[@pe5912]

Could happily listen to Chloe talk and discuss ideas and plans for hours. Love her so much.

[@TheJH1091]

Her oscar nominated performance in Boys Don't Cry is one of my all time favorites. So beautiful and nuanced.

[@steves2754]

I've loved this woman since Kids. Such a unique woman. Intelligent, talented, beautiful.

[@JPS3]

This was exactly what I needed to watch at this point in time. Thank you!

Chloe is so effortlessly cool and seems genuinely down to earth…and as others of stated, an excellent and versatile actress!

Synonym for "Super Cool" in global POP culture thats is Chloë Sevigny.

Love Chloe forever, also Tom is an amazing host!

[@christinecamley]

Fabulous actor!!

[@softtommy]

Still shocked she wasn't offered more lead roles on AHS! When Jessica Lange stepped away, Chloe was a great option to fill those shoes had she been given the opportunity. 🌟

[@Keybumpz]

Um have you not been watching monsters on Netflix?(I know it’s not ahs, but it’s kinda falls into the same category almost)

[@tiamo_danielle]

Great interview! Thanks, Chloe and Tom

[@sandrays2011]

Her laugh is contagious.

[@KurtSteph87]

She has done horror… she was in American Psycho, American Horror Story, The Dead Don’t Die, and also starred in the remake of Brian De Palma’s Sisters.

[@sianspherica]

She will always be Jenny from KIDS to me. Love her.

[@Mackenzie-xk3ek]

',Lay it on me' is out' 'please.' 😂

[@Nicklukens]

She skates

[@sl9391]

Who doesn’t know who Chloe Sevigny is?!?!

[@kevinconley1575]

Why would you regret having taste and being in cool Indy movies. It's like everyone grows up and loses their integrity.

[@justa___blip]

Why does this guy always have to talk in an ASMR whisper voice every interview

[@commanderrussels2612]

great in brown bunny

[@DarwinHandy]
