There\u2019s something vital about having \u2018star power\u2019 if you want to become the ultimate Hollywood<\/a> icon, and some actors just seem to possess it without even trying. <\/p>\n Acting should simply be about performance, getting into the mind of a character and delivering your lines convincingly. In the realm of Hollywood, though, where money rules and image is essential to securing ticket sales, actors only reach certain heights when they surpass being relatable and instead take on a mythic, larger-than-life persona. They become idols to be put on pedestals, to be worshipped and to be treated like Gods among us normal folk.<\/p>\n This star power involves being palatable and likeable to a wide audience, charming and down-to-earth, but inevitably much cooler, richer, and more untouchable than us. These days, people like Margot Robbie have \u2018it\u2019 \u2013\u00a0a flash of her smile is all she needs to have fans screaming and reaching out for autographs as the sound of cameras clicking becomes white noise. A proper movie star needs to be glamorous and gorgeous, carrying themselves with a certain weightlessness, gliding from interview to red carpet without a single complaint.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not a natural way to be, but some stars have just mastered it, and Chlo\u00eb Sevigny has her own opinions on who fits the mould \u2013 and who definitely doesn\u2019t. The actor has always possessed a striking \u2018it factor\u2019 herself, but not in this typical Hollywood star way. Rather, Sevigny has long been revered for her alternative roots, appearing in Sonic Youth music videos, sometimes sporting a boyish haircut, and appearing in controversial movies like Kids and Gummo<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sevigny was never going to become the next Julia Roberts, but she knows a thing or two about the importance of image \u2013 something that has followed her throughout her career as one of the internet\u2019s most beloved and long-standing it girls and fashion icons. So, talking to V Magazine in 2015 about celebrities who harness a certain star power, the actor was a little brutal, dragging Jennifer Lawrence down in her explanation. <\/p>\n \u201cI understand that star quality, how much value that carries. I love when a movie star is a great movie star. I think Angelina Jolie is a great movie star,\u201d she revealed. \u201cI don\u2019t think I can be that, or just be an actor. I don\u2019t think I have the charisma. Which is probably why I never reached another level. I like Emma Stone. Whenever she\u2019s herself, she\u2019s really cute.\u201d<\/p>\n
