Julia Roberts Says She Was 'Scared' to Meet Chloë Sevigny at 'After the Hunt' Rehearsal

Roberts’ Late Show story lands days before the film begins its October theatrical rollout.

Overview

  • Roberts told The Late Show she and co-star Ayo Edebiri felt intimidated as they awaited Sevigny’s arrival for a rehearsal at Roberts’ home.
  • After a producer said Sevigny would arrive “any minute,” Roberts said “I’m scared,” and director Luca Guadagnino told her to answer the door when Sevigny knocked.
  • Roberts joked that her daughter slipped out through the garage because “we’re all scared of Chloë.”
  • Despite the nerves, Roberts praised Sevigny as “exceptional and eccentric.”
  • Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt, starring Roberts with Edebiri, Andrew Garfield and Sevigny, opens in limited release on Oct. 10 before expanding wide on Oct. 17 following a divided festival reception.
