Skateboardings Most Fabulous Adopted Actor Talks Life After ‘KIDS’
If you grew up watching KIDS then you are 1) old, and 2) have a crush on Chloë Sevigny.
She has somehow retained her original cool kid vibe she no doubt learned from hanging out with the 90’s Washington Park skateboard scene through great indie roles and dope style.
Chloë will always be the skateboard scenes cool sister even though she took over Hollywood.
Here is a sample from an interview she just did:
“There is a mythology that surrounds Chloë Sevigny: a young girl from Darien, Connecticut, population about 20,000, moves to New York City while it is still the centre of the universe, and with the fearlessness of an outsider and the precociousness of youth, the city becomes her. There’s her brilliant career, her fabled style, and her well-documented lovers. Chloë, the ultimate cool girl, who found herself in all the right movies, at all the right parties, with all the right boyfriends. The empire is in decline now. There can’t be another Chloë. There isn’t a Tunnel to learn from the club kids. The skaters have long since left Washington Square Park, where you’d have found her at 19—and besides, even the skaters have been commodified. In the post-Giuliani New York, matcha lattes are all over Manhattan. People are more hungry than they are curious, and this is an important distinction.
This popular interpretation obscures the work that goes into the career Sevigny created. To imagine it was handed to her is cute, in the same way that it is cute to imagine that talent is simply something that you are born with.”
