We’re back! And while we were gone, it looks like Chloë Sevigny’s interview in the recently published January 2011 issue of US Playboy‘s been making headlines.

Those who have read the interview will know that Chloë talked among other things a little bit about her experience starring in writer-director-star Vincent Gallo’s infamous film, The Brown Bunny (2003), and the uproar and harsh critique that followed her notorious oral sex scene with Gallo. Interestingly, Gallo himself has now opened up about Chloë’s involvement in the film to NY Post’s Page Six, as follows:

“Chloe and I were never boyfriend and girlfriend. In 1995 we made out once in Paris. I feel Chloe has suggested we were boyfriend and girlfriend to lessen the boldness of her appearance [...] and to portray herself as a devoted girlfriend and victim rather than a great radical performer. Chloe brilliantly understood that the media would persist in thinking that she did it out of loyalty to me. [...] I am sorry she feels the experience was so startling that she needs therapy to resolve her feelings.”

Peaches Geldof also had something to say to Chloë’s remarks about her in the issue, but who wants to know.

Merry Christmas, guys (and gals)! Chloë Sevigny is featured in the January 2011 issue of US Playboy.

In the issue, Chloë answers Playboy‘s 20 Questions and is also featured in two photos. Although the pics are few, the interview is quite terrific (no, really!), with some great, honest quotations from Chloë regarding e.g. the new season of Big Love, growing up, The Brown Bunny and its infamous Chloë scene, the annual Emmy snubs and winning her first ever Golden Globe, and the 1994 article in The New Yorker that crowned her the “It girl”. The interview under the cut + a couple of scans in our gallery.

20Q: Chloë Sevigny

The ‘Big Love’ star and indie darling talks about what happens when you bad-mouth your hit show, the downside of sex scenes and how she’s getting tired of boyfriends who text instead of show up.

Q1: You’re known for your Oscar-nominated performance as the girlfriend of transgendered Hilary Swank in Boys Don’t Cry, and last year you won a Golden Globe for playing a sour, scheming polygamist fundamentalist Mormon wife on Big Love. You front a hip fashion line, you’re a much-photographed club scenester and you’ve made risky indie films that sometimes involve nudity. But no matter what your accomplishments, some people can’t get over that scene in the 2003 flick The Brown Bunny in which you give writer-director Vincent Gallo a blow job.
“What’s happened with that is all very complicated. There are a lot of emotions. I’ll probably have to go to therapy at some point. But I love Vincent. The film is tragic and beautiful, and I’m proud of it and my performance. I’m sad that people think one way of the movie, but what can you do? I’ve done many explicit sex scenes, but I’m not that interested in doing any more. I’m more self-aware now and wouldn’t be able to be as free, so why even do it?”
