Julia Roberts Says She and Ayo Edebiri Were Scared to Meet Chloë Sevigny for After the Hunt

Roberts' Late Show story is fueling attention on Luca Guadagnino's campus-set drama ahead of its Oct. 10 limited debut, followed by a nationwide release Oct. 17.

Overview

  • Roberts recounted on The Late Show that she and Ayo Edebiri exchanged “I’m scared” and “Me too” before meeting Chloë Sevigny during a rehearsal at her home.
  • She called Sevigny “exceptional and eccentric,” recalling that she pinched her cheeks to look “fetching” and was met with a cool “Hi” at the door.
  • Roberts said her daughter quickly left the room and Edebiri asked to leave when Sevigny arrived, as director Luca Guadagnino reminded Roberts she had to answer her own door.
  • After the Hunt, directed by Guadagnino, stars Roberts with Edebiri, Andrew Garfield, Michael Stuhlbarg and Sevigny in a psychological drama about a professor facing a student’s accusation against a colleague.
  • The film opens in New York and Los Angeles on Oct. 10 before expanding nationwide Oct. 17, following festival screenings that drew divided reviews.
