Chloë Sevigny is making waves again — and this time, she’s eyeing a thrilling comeback that fans never saw coming. In a recent interview, Sevigny revealed that she’s pitched director Luca Guadagnino, known for Call Me by Your Name and Bones and All, to help her revisit one of her most iconic roles: Jean from the cult classic American Psycho.
“I’ve always wondered what happened to Jean,” Sevigny shared with a smile. “I thought maybe Luca could bring his touch—something beautiful yet terrifying to her story.” The idea of Guadagnino taking the reins on a dark sequel or spin-off has already sparked buzz online, with fans eager to see Sevigny’s character finally get her moment in the spotlight.
It’s been nearly 25 years since American Psycho hit theaters, but Sevigny’s portrayal of the shy yet observant secretary still lingers in pop culture. Her pitch comes at a time when Hollywood is revisiting old classics with fresh perspectives, and Sevigny believes Jean’s quiet strength deserves a deeper dive.
But it’s not just her career plans turning heads — Sevigny couldn’t help but gush over fellow Hollywood star Julia Roberts during her chat. “Julia has this radiance,” Sevigny said. “It’s not just her smile — it’s the energy she brings into a room. There’s something so timeless about her.”
Roberts, who recently returned to the big screen with new projects, remains an icon that Sevigny admires both on and off set. “She’s always been a beacon,” Sevigny added. “We all look at her and think — that’s star power.”
Between her ambitions for a bold return to American Psycho and her glowing praise for Roberts, Sevigny proves once again she’s a voice Hollywood can’t ignore. As the buzz grows, fans are left wondering: could Luca Guadagnino actually bring Jean back to life? And will Chloë Sevigny finally get the sequel she—and audiences—deserve?
