Frank: Chloe Sevingy reveals she's suffered some 'creepy situations' during the Hollywood audition process
Speaking at the event, the Academy Award-nominated star said: 'I did audition for some bigger directors who were more mainstream and they were creepy situations,' she said.
'One asked me, ‘What are you doing after the audition?’ which is just inappropriate, obviously knowing what he wanted. Another one wanted to bring me shopping and have me try on clothes.'
The 'worst' experience, she said, came when an undisclosed director talked at length about her body.

'I went in and I was dressed a little provocatively because I was dressing the part,' she said. 'He’s like, ‘Oh you should show your body off more before you get too old … you should show it off now, you never show your body.’ I’m like, actually I’ve been nude in almost every movie I’ve done so I don’t know what you’re watching!'.
Chloe is the latest female performer to feature at the gender-specific event, following in the footsteps of Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon.

Chatting to host Ramin Setoodeh, Chloe also discussed her new role in Whit Stillman's Love & Friendship, which reunites her and Kate Beckinsale - 18 years after they starred together in Stillman's now-classic Last Days Of Disco.
Based on Jane Austen's novella Lady Susan, the film - which is released in the UK on 27 May - tells the tale of Lady Susan Vernon, who takes up temporary residence at her in-laws' estate and, while there, is determined to be a matchmaker for her daughter Frederica - and herself too, naturally.
