Biography

Chloe Moretz (born 10.2.1997)
Chloe Moretz is an American actress, best known for her role as Hit-Girl in Kick-Ass.

Personal Life & Childhood: Chloe Moretz was born in Atlanta, Georgia, to McCoy and Teri Moretz. Her mother is a nurse practitioner and her father is a plastic surgeon. In interviews, she has stated that her family is 'very Christian'. Her elder brother Trevor Duke Moretz is her acting coach and often accompanies her on business when her parents are unable to attend with her.

In 2001, Chloe moved to New York with her mother and her brother Trevor, when he was accepted into a professional performing arts school. It was this that originally sparked her interest in acting. It was when the Moretz family moved to Los Angeles in 2003 that Chloe's own Hollywood career began.

Acting Career: Chloe's first role in Hollywood was playing Violet in two episodes of The Guardian, created by David Hollander. Her debut film role was playing Molly in Heart of the Beholder.

When she landed her second role, in Amityville Horror, with Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George, Chloe Moretz earned herself a Young Artist Award nomination. Following on from the nomination, she started to land a number of guesting roles on TV series, such as My Name Is Earl (starring Jason Lee) and Desperate Housewives. She also landed a role in Big Momma's House 2, starring Martin Lawrence and Nia Long. In addition to this, she also voiced the character of Darby in the animated version of My Friends Tigger and Pooh.

In 2009, Chloe appeared in (500) Days of Summer, starring Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

2010 saw Chloe Moretz appear in the Matthew Vaughn directed comic book adaptation Kick-Ass, which also starred Nicolas Cage and Aaron Johnson. The script was written by Jane Goldman, who is married to Jonathan Ross and the film was co-produced by Brad Pitt. On its release, many viewers were shocked by the bad language used by the Hit-Girl character, though her performance was also praised by a number of critics. For the film, she trained with Jackie Chan so that she could perform all of her own stunts.

Later in 2010, Moretz also took the lead role in Let Me In, playing a 12 year old vampire. The film was a remake of the Swedish film Let The Right One In. She was also cast as Ann in the psychological thriller The Fields.

Chloe Grace Moretz hit out at the marketing campaign for 'Red Shoes & 7 Dwarfs', a film in which she stars, after it was alleged to be body-shaming.

American actress Chloe Grace Moretz has hit out at the marketing surrounding her own animated Snow White film, saying she’s “appalled and angry” over a promotional poster that engages in body-shaming.

The 20 year old star, who provides the voice of Snow White in the new South Korean animated film Red Shoes & 7 Dwarfs, released a series of statement on Twitter after a billboard for the film was accused of being derogatory and fat-shaming.

“What if Snow White was no longer beautiful and the 7 dwarfs not so short?” the poster read, with an image of the classic fairy-tale heroine, tall and thin, next to a shorter, heavier one.

Moretz took to Twitter to post a string of messages imploring people to think about the effects their anonymous comments might have.

Chloe Grace Moretz has taken the fight to the Twitter trolls, calling on those who make judgmental comments about people’s bodies to come out from behind their anonymity or to shut up for good.

“When will people hiding behind computer screens get tired of calling someone 'fat' or 'masculine’?” she queried. “Does it make you feel good typing your hateful comments? Does it fulfil you in some dark way?”

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising [Bad Neighbours 2] Review

Good

While it's amusing and sometimes very funny, there's an air of desperation about this sequel to the 2014 breakout hit comedy. The main problem is that, instead of pushing the characters forward in any way, the plot is basically a rehash of the exact same series of events. So the cast and crew rush through it in the hopes that audiences might not notice, throwing in issues like girl power and gay marriage to make it look like they noticed the criticisms of the first movie.

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising [Bad Neighbours 2]

It's been a year or so, and now Mac and Kelly (Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) are selling their house to move to the suburbs before the birth their second child. But just as the sale is agreed, a sorority moves in next door, founded by Shelby (Chloe Grace Moretz) in defiance of the usual frat-house rules. They get help from former fraternity leader Teddy (Zac Efron), who's aimless because his best pal Pete (Dave Franco) has just agreed to marry his boyfriend. So Mac and Kelly are worried that the loud parties are going to jeopardise the sale, and when talking with Shelby fails, the stand-off escalates into all-out war. And when the girls turn on him, Teddy swaps sides to help take them down.

The dialogue is packed with hilariously wrong humour, mainly adult gags that are spoken around very young children. The idea of a little girl who chooses a pink dildo as her favourite toy is good for one laugh, but perhaps not the next 10 the filmmakers try to wring from it. Meanwhile, there's a strange exhaustion in the air, as both Teddy and Mac seem tired of all of this nonsense. Efron and Rogen play the roles with impeccable timing, but both seem aware that they've already pushed these characters as far as they possibly can. Byrne has a lot more spark, and provides most of the best laughs. And Moretz shows some skill at spiky silliness.

When ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star yet again broke the internet with her nude selfie in March, the 19 year old Kick-Ass star responded that Kim’s picture wasn’t setting the correct example for young women. “I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women,” she wrote. “Teaching them we have so much more to offer than just our bodies.”

In a feature interview with Glamour magazine, in whose new issue she is the cover star, Moretz was asked about whether she’s changed her mind about the stance she took back then, considering Kardashian’s bitter response and those of others who called her out for being uptight.
