Actress Chloe Sevigny has revealed that she does not regret a controversial moment early on in her career.

For those who don't know, in 2003 the actress starred in the movie The Brown Bunny, which follows motorbike racer Bud Clay, a man haunted by memories of his former lover while driving across country.

The movie has become something of a cult classic, but it's one scene in particular which people remember.

This is where Sevigny's character performs oral sex on Bud, played by Vincent Gallo, who also directed and wrote the film.

While it would be usual practice for scene like that to be simulated, for obvious reasons, in this case Sevigny actually did the deed with Gallo, who she was in a relationship with at the time.

Following the film's release, there were false reports Sevigny's agency had dropped her over the scene.

Despite fears it would ruin her career, the actor said she has no regrets, despite admitted the scene 'hurt' her.

Speaking at Provincetown Film Festival in 2017, she said: “I think it was a way of kind of reclaiming myself, which sounds odd, but after the celebrity and stuff, being like: ‘No, that’s not who I am, I’m this other thing, and this is what I stand for.’ Or wanting to push the envelope."

She continued: “I got my first studio film after that. I’d never been offered a studio film. It was Zodiac. I don’t think it really hurt me, necessarily.

"I mean, it hurt me, in a lot of ways… Some relationships have had trouble with it. Of course, my mom and I don’t talk about it.”

The actress has also spoken about how she had been more 'insecure' at the time that Brown Bunny was filmed, but is adamant that she does not regret the film.

She told The Independent: “It happened. I wish I had the confidence I had now. I was insecure.

"Everyone says, ‘what do you regret?’ And I know that they want me to say The Brown Bunny, but I won’t.”

The actress recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday (January 22), where it emerged that her high school yearbook photo had inspired a sell-out skateboard design.

Recalling how it came about, Sevigny said: "They do these boards where they put all the pro skaters' school photos on them and he saw my high school portrait and he was like, 'Oh my God it's amazing, can we put it on a skateboard?'

"I was like, 'I'm not a pro skater but I'm pro skaters, so yes."
