Julia Roberts revealed that she was « scared » and « intimidated » about meeting a fellow Hollywood star.
Last month, the 57-year-old actress sat down with her « After the Hunt » co-stars Chloë Sevigny, Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield and Michael Stuhlbarg, as well as the movie’s director Luca Guadagnino and producer Allan Mandelbaum, for a group interview with Variety.
In the interview, which was published Thursday, Roberts recalled becoming flustered ahead of her first encounter with Sevigny.
« I was so excited and intimidated about meeting Chloë, » the Oscar winner said.
Roberts recounted how she crossed paths with Sevigny for the first time when the Academy Award nominee arrived at her home for a discussion about « After the Hunt » with Edebiri, Guadagnino, and Mandelbaum.
The « Pretty Woman » star noted that her daughter Hazel, 20, was also present at the time.

« We’re all sitting around the kitchen table, and Hazel was making herself some lunch, and we’re talking about the material and rehearsing, » she recalled. ‘Allan, our producer, he came in, and he goes, ‘Chloë should just be here in a couple minutes.’ »
Roberts continued, « And I look up, and Ayo looks up, and we match eyes. Luca goes, ’What?’ And I go, ‘I’m scared.’ And Ayo goes, ‘Me too.’ »
« And Hazel goes, ‘I’m leaving.’ And then, like a minute later, the doorbell rang, and Hazel goes, ‘I’m leaving through the garage.’ And truly we were so excited and intimidated, » she added.
For her part, Sevigney told Variety that she immediately felt comfortable with Roberts.

« I felt close to her the first time I met her, » the « American Psycho » actress said. « But she invited us to her home for rehearsals, and we stayed in her beach house. And she was just very giving and generous. »
Sevigny recalled that she missed Roberts after production on « After the Hunt » ended.
« Can I say when we left, I needed more Julia. On the plane ride home, I watched, like, three of your movies, » she told Roberts. « ‘I just wanted more!' »
When asked which of Roberts’ movies she watched, Sevigny said, « ‘Notting Hill,’ ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’ and I can’t remember the third. But I was like, ‘I just want more Julia!’ »
According to Variety, Roberts began tearing up upon hearing her co-star’s words, saying, « I am so glad this is being recorded. »

« I was like, ‘I’m not ready to say goodbye,’ » Sevigny said.
However, Sevigny noted that she felt some consolation by reminding herself that she could look forward to seeing more of Roberts’ extensive filmography.
« Luckily there’s a whole canon I can go home and keep watching, » she said.
According to a plot synopsis, « After the Hunt » follows Yale University philosophy professor Alma Olsson, who finds herself at « a personal and professional crossroads » when a star pupil, Margaret « Maggie » Price (Edebiri), accuses Alma’s colleague and friend, Hank Gibson (Garfield), of sexual assault following a late-night study session.
Sevigny played Alma’s friend and the university’s student liaison Dr. Kim Sayers while Stuhlbarg portrayed Alma’s psychiatrist husband.
