Chloe Sevigny reportedly has her eyes set on becoming the next big female action star.

The Big Love actress rose to stardom through appearing in low-budget independent films such as Kids and Boys Don't Cry, but now insists she’s ready for an action challenge.

Sevigny said: "I would love to do an action movie. I'm actually very physically fit. I don't think people think of me that way.

"I read a lot of those scripts and audition, but I think I am just not a big enough name - it's all about figures and what your movies have accumulated and I've never been in a movie that made money."
