Chloe Sevigny Is Glad She Grew Up In “Cooler” Pre-Internet Times

[@bigtux11]

I was shocked to see she's 41. She looks about 32. I agree with what she said about the internet as well.

[@bigtux11]

+Apple Bee lol

[@kezothehappylurker787]

+bigtux11 Cool, she's dating age for me...Not that I'll ever date her, but still...

[@peteradaniel]

She's 41 and she talks like she's 70. Eye roll.

[@kezothehappylurker787]

LOL, and when she's 70 she'll be talking like she's 30!

[@blrgrl]

Helps when you dont have kids and a real job

[@g.h.7661]

I am so glad she grew up preinternet, too! She is still the epitome of 90s youth and badass. She doesn’t appear to age, physically, mentally or in her general aura. Love the jacket girl

[@HBICTiff]

What she said about today’s generation is so true. Something is definitely missing and the lack of motivation caused by technology is actually very tragic for everyone here on out.

[@felicecinque]

Never used a stylist because she has STYLE.

[@celestialnubian]

She ain't lying. The 90s was the apex.

[@MetalAddict6810]

100% agree with her. I'm 38 been a teenager in the 90s were great times, I wouldn't want to grow up as a kid in these times.

[@angelicalyn6520]

Everytime I see her I think of the 90s, she was the 90s indie queen, if I had a time machine I'd probably go back to 60s or 90s!

[@redadamearth]

She absolutely was. Basically her and Winona Ryder were the queens of the decade, but Chloe was infinitely cooler.

[@virgosss2031]

Hands up if you remember Chloe from asylum! 🙋🏼

[@Linda-hh4td]

I wouldn't say she was the first style icon. But she is an "IT" Girl. I have loved her style for years and even more so I like her raw honesty.

[@Greeneguy1963]

Jacket by Prada. Tie by DKNY. Jeans by Diesel. Earrings by Cardin. Hair by Tony's on 5th Avenue...

[@Resario]

I've always had the weirdest crush on her 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@latoyatv2030]

[@renoodle5554]

I literally cannot hear her speak without thinking of the "chloe" series, this is hilarious

[@OneWayRoad]

what chloe series?

[@oskarl7213]

I was reaally hoping someone would ask her whether she’s seen it and what she thinks about it!!

[@lukegraftonnash8357]

very attractive lady

[@apasolini]

I said the same thing the other day. I could do with being younger (who couldn't?) but I'm also happy to have grown up before the internet.

[@MetalAddict6810]

I agree. I'm 38 the 90s were great times to be a teenager. The internet has ruined kids youth.

[@ThinkerOnTheBus]

@@MetalAddict6810 Um, the world wide web was accessible to the public during the '90s. So, you're telling me that you were "grown up" by the time you were eleven years old? 𝕊ℍ𝔼ℕ𝔸ℕ𝕀𝔾𝔸ℕ𝕊❕❕❕

[@davidgrose6349]

She looks good here and very animated in her thoughts and opinions.

[@frozenwarning]

I met her in Nashville in 1995 or six. There was an all ages punk club, called Lucy’s record shop her and Harmony Corinne were there our friends Jacob and Lachlan were recruited to be in a movie He was filming, but only Jacob ended up being in it. None of us actually believed that they were really filming a movie until it came out lol

[@nicolaselhani]

I think she means brown bunny hahaha

[@tamasdmmolnar9450]

When i first saw her in the beastie boys video i fall in love with her.. 10 years later i still can't find someone so attractive as Chloe..

[@Progger11]

She's just blessed.

[@wubranch1]

She’s just so cool.

[@delrey874]

She's so beautiful.

[@kylynnsmith3781]

I agree with her. She's 5 and half years older than my mom. I really would have liked to be a teen around her time. I'm a 90's baby. It seemed much social back then.

Nah

[@brijmsn]

I agree with her and I wasn't born until 91

[@AndresMorenov]

I was born in 1991 as well and I totally feel the same. Living the late 90s (as a kid) was cooler.

[@johnbland8088]

She’s a doll, and sharp. So great in Big Love.

[@latoyatv2030]

She is very beautiful 😍 ❤

Why is she so cool, she even loves Morrissey for Christ sakes, what more can a man ask ?

[@hayleyanna2625]

She's cool. I look a little like her so when I was bullied at school for being "different" I just would think of this badass stylish woman. Great style and sense of humour.❤

Being born in the late 80s or early 90s is better. Get a taste of both worlds.

+Im black, even though the guy in the profile picture is white. So trueeee! I say it all the time! #80sbaby #90skid

[@rainyd4293]

Totally agree!

[@taintedlife2618]

Not really if you were born in the 80s by the time you were old enough 90s stuff came in. It was best to be born in late 70s. Then you got it all.

[@AllIsWellaus]

It's all relative I guess. But you're the best age if that works for ya.

[@jeremiahturner3383]

Early 80s!

[@neil2905]

Trees Lounge. God forgive me, I love that movie.

[@ThinkerOnTheBus]

There's nothing to forgive. It was a superb movie! Except maybe not knowing how Tommy (Buscemi) managed to succeed!

Me too. Born 1989 but didn't have internet until I was an adult.

Aren't we all!? The glut of information and mis-information floating around these days just becomes distracting, I think. I certainly see it my own (music) industry.

[@josie3221]

Honestly? I'm pretty proud to have grown up with the internet (b. 2000). I have a much broader understanding of the world than most of the adults I know. I get that we tend to move a little fast, but I definitely feel as though the benefits outweigh the consequences. As a kid, I'd go to summer camp for a few months and live without technology and it was definitely nice, but I don't think there's anything that special about not having tech.

[@shaniqua2789]

lol you think you have a broader understanding. textbook case millennial

[@adachen9223]

definitely agree with you

[@LAZISH]

Well. I didn't grow up with interner, since I'm her age. But, I was still pretty young when it came and made my life much, much easier and interesting. I love her, but din't know what is she talking about🙃
