Julia Roberts admitted she was terrified of meeting Chloë Sevigny while working alongside her on their new movie After the Hunt. While chatting with Stephen Colbert on Thursday night, the host asked if there was an actor on set who “intimidated” her, to which Roberts replied, “The fabulous Chloë Sevigny, who I had never met before.” Describing a rehearsal session at her house with co-star Ayo Edebiri and director Luca Guadagnino, she continued “one afternoon, we were at the kitchen table and you know we’re really grinding it out, and the producer came in from the living room and he said, ‘Oh, Chloë should be here any minute.’” She added “I looked up and my eyes just happened to catch Ayo’s eyes. We looked at each other and I said, ‘I’m scared!’ And she goes, ‘Me too.’” When asked why she was so intimidated to meet Sevigny, the star simply replied “Because it’s Chloë,” and admitted she wanted to start crying when she arrived at the door. Roberts’ daughter also bailed, with the actress quipping “she was vapor trails, because we’re all scared of Chloë. She’s part of the fear.” Roberts eventually put aside her fears, however, and described Sevigny as “exceptional and eccentric.” After The Hunt is set to release nationwide on October 17.
