The last time we saw Chantal Claret, she was giving Paul Scheer a little just-after-12AM morningwood at the Human Giant Marathon. And we thought that maybe that’d be the last time we saw Chantal Claret, period. Not so: today Brooklyn Vegan posts this recently excavated footage of Chantal on Oprah, when she was just a nine-year-old truffle-loving, well-traveled, death-obsessed little girl. Awww.
“I like thinking about what happens when I’m dead because I wanna be ready.” Wasn’t she precious? Well you know how the story turned out; little Ms. Claret escaped childhood without facing any such tragic fate, and went from loving operas and art and books about Egypt to simply demanding that you t-t-t-take off your clothes. Oprah should do a follow-up!

This is why people should (n’t) have kids.
i still can’t believe she’s married to little jimmy urine.
Soooo weird in retrospect, since I vividly remember watching this episode when I was about 10 or 11 years old. I remember being very sad for her. Who would have thought several years later I would have found her to be the most annoying frontwoman within the past 5 years?
i love this giel even more now! she speaks so elequently at 9.
Creepy-ass dramatic tracking shots … I didn’t know Claret was the inspiration for Winona Ryder’s Lydia in Beetle Juice.
