In the six-part TV series, the Big Love star plays a pre-operation transsexual assassin, undergoing hormone therapy to become a woman.

Sevigny refused to have a body double stand in for her for nude scenes and instead decided to undergo an entire physical transformation - but the gruelling process proved to be emotionally overwhelming for the actress.

She tells Interview magazine, "I tried to slim down. I tried to lose a lot of weight because I thought it would make me look more masculine if I were gaunt... On the show there are a lot of quick glimpses of me naked, wearing a prosthetic penis, which was horrifying... There was talk of doing body doubles and special effects, but in the end we decided I'd wear a prosthetic.

Wait, did you see "transexual assassin" lol? But Chloe was the it girl of the 90's, she can't be a transexual assassin!
