(1997) American film actress, model
Chloë Grace Moretz can be considered a truly unique actress: by the age of 20, she managed to achieve in cinema what many of her colleagues fail to achieve in their entire creative biography.
The young celebrity has already managed to work with the best directors on the planet, play more than fifty roles and try herself in almost all film genres. Critics attribute this success to Chloë Moretz's rare ability to transform into a wide variety of characters.
Chloe's childhood and youth
Chloe Grace Moretz was born in Atlanta under the zodiac sign of Aquarius on February 10, 1997 in a wealthy family. His father works as a plastic surgeon, and his mother is a nurse. Chloe grew up surrounded by four brothers.
In 2002, she moved to New York with her mother and older brother. Brother Trevor was accepted into drama school. Then Chloe became interested in the theater. She repeated his monologues after her brother. It was strange for a 5-year-old girl to quote Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire. During these years, she already knew that she wanted to become an actress.
Films featuring Moretz
The girl’s creative biography began immediately in Hollywood. Moretz played the role of Violet in 2 episodes in the series “The Protector.” Chloe's first film role was Molly from the film "Heart of the Beholder", which tells the story of a family who opened a video store in their home.
We noticed Chloe after the movie “The Amityville Horror,” which is a remake of the famous horror film of the late 70s. The actress played Chelsea. For her successful work, she was even nominated for a Young Artist Award. "Today You Die" was a good sequel for Moretz's burgeoning career. In addition to Hollywood action and horror, Chloe also appears in TV series. She could be seen in the project “Desperate Housewives”.
2010 turned out to be rich in success: for example, her role in the film “Kick-Ass” brought her critical acclaim, although the film itself was criticized to smithereens by professionals, assigning it only 1 star out of 5 possible. To participate in the film, Chloe learned to perform all the tricks herself. After the film was released, at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards she received the Breakthrough of the Year and Star of the Year awards.
In 2011, two famous directors invited her to appear in their films. It was Martin Scorsese with The Timekeeper and Tim Burton with Dark Shadows. The same year, she played a vampire girl in the film Let Me In, a remake of the Swedish horror film. Soon the tragicomedy “Provincial Woman” with the participation of the young actress was released. Here Moretz plays a teenage girl from a dysfunctional family who becomes an accomplice in several robberies.
In 2013, Chloe agreed to take part in the filming of the film “Kick-Ass 2”. The actress also found a truly stellar role as Carey White in the film “Telekinesis” based on the book by Stephen King. For her, in 2014, the performer received the prestigious Saturn award as the best young actress.
2014 was also a fruitful year for the actress in leading roles. At the beginning of the year, Moretz played the main character in the drama “Baby,” about adulthood and readiness for marriage. In the same year, the artist played a key role in the crime action film The Great Equalizer.
Notable for the actress’s filmography was her work in the film “If I Stay” about a girl whose soul decides whether to stay on earth or be carried away to another world. In the same year, Chloe played the main role of the young scandalous performer Jo-Ann Ellis in the drama Clouds of Sils Maria about the life of older actresses, competition in the acting environment and the pitfalls of this profession. Also in 2014, Chloe played a newspaper saleswoman in the family comedy film Muppets 2.
In January 2016, the sci-fi thriller “The 5th Wave” starring Moretz was released. The film tells about the gradual attacks of aliens on Earth; at the time the film began, 3 destructive attacks-waves had already taken place: the planet was de-energized, global destruction took place across the Earth, an epidemic began and a secret alien invasion unfolded. The actress played the girl Cassie, who is trying to escape the next wave and find her lost brother in the post-apocalyptic world.
In May, the actress played the main role in the comedy “Neighbors. On the warpath - 2." The sequel to the hit comedy follows a couple's war with their neighborhood sorority. Zac Efron played opposite Moretz in the film. In September, the artist appeared in the leading role in the drama “Mind on Fire” about a girl who suddenly woke up in a psychiatric hospital. The heroine does not remember how she ended up in the hospital, and the diagnoses given to her are not confirmed.
In 2021, Moretz played the role of Phoebe in the film “November Criminals,” which tells the story of high school students who take on the investigation of the death of a classmate. Another premiere of the year was the drama “I Love You, Daddy,” in which Chloe also appeared in the main cast.
In 2021, the actress found herself at the center of an ethical scandal. Moretz voiced the heroine in the fairy tale “Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs.” A new interpretation of the fairy tale about Snow White told about a princess who is overweight and her red shoes, which save the prince and also change the princess herself: they make the girl slim, but at the same time spoil her character.
Chloe was outraged by the cartoon's advertising campaign. The original slogan of the film was that now Snow White is no longer beautiful. The actress, like many potential viewers of the cartoon, drew attention to this, saying that being overweight is not considered synonymous with ugliness. Representatives of the Red Shoes took down the posters for revision and apologized. In the same year, the actress began working on a role in the fantasy thriller Suspiria about a closed ballet school that became a haven for witches gathering a coven. Tilda Swinton, Dakota Johnson, Mia Goth and Jessica Harper also took part in the filming of the film. The film was released worldwide a year later.
First roles
It is worth noting that Chloe has achieved much greater success in the acting field than her brother. The young actress received her first role in 2004 in the TV series “The Protector.” Her character Violeta appears in two episodes. Then she had a small role in the comedy “Family Plan” (she played a young version of the heroine Tori Spelling), and in 2005 she appeared on the big screens in the horror film “The Amityville Horror”, playing the youngest daughter of the main characters (Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George), who is the most yearning for the murdered father.

Apparently, the girl with an angelic appearance fearlessly walking on the roof impressed horror directors. Her further filmography is rich in horror films and mystical thrillers: “Room 6”, “House of Zombies”, “Holy Place”, “Disappearance”, “The Eye”, and in the latter, as viewers claimed, she outplayed Jessica Alba herself.

Due to her busy schedule, the girl almost didn’t go to school: she studied with tutors via Skype and did her homework in a trailer on the set. Brother Trevor took over the duties of her acting instructor and agent - helping her communicate with the press.

The baby's popularity grew, which was very useful for a family that suffered one disaster after another. First, in 2005, my father, who improved the appearance of many Hollywood stars, declared himself bankrupt. It turned out that the family was living beyond their means - the Moretz couple had accumulated more than $5 million in debt. Creditors took away their luxurious mansion worth $3.4 million, cars and almost all their property.
In 2007, Teri was diagnosed with kidney cancer. In 2009, the father left the family, leaving his wife and five children. Later, the actress admitted that his act caused her severe psychological trauma, from the consequences of which she recovered for a long time.

In 2009, viewers saw the girl in the melodrama “500 Days of Summer” with Zooey Deschanel, and in 2010 she got a breakthrough role in the action comedy “Kick-Ass.” “Chloe stole the whole movie!” the critics admired. Indeed, the 11-year-old girl Mindy, who masterfully wields weapons, earning her the nickname Hit Girl, looked especially impressive in contrast to the klutz Dave played by Aaron Johnson.
For this role, Chloe Moretz received two MTV Movie Awards: in the categories “Breakthrough of the Year” and “Coolest Star”. That same year, she played a child vampire in the horror film Let Me In.

The growing interest in the rising star was especially visible in the number of premieres with her participation: in 2011 alone, she appeared in three diverse projects. This is the police drama "Fields" with Sam Worthington, where Chloe appeared in the role of a girl from a dysfunctional family; the main role in the tragicomedy “The Provincial Girl,” where her young heroine with a pistol plunges into a world of violence, as well as the family fairy tale “The Timekeeper” by Martin Scorsese.

2013 was no less productive: the comedy Movie 43 was released (Chloe appears in the novella Date in High School as a girl who suddenly gets her period), in the long-awaited sequel Kick-Ass and in the psychological thriller Telekinesis. , a remake of Stephen King's Carrie.
"Telekinesis": Chloë Grace Moretz as Carrie
The director herself chose Chloe for the role of Carrie, although the girl was perplexed why, because she was not at all like her - the actress had a happy, prosperous childhood and many fans, and Carrie was an unremarkable schoolgirl, bullied by her crazy mother and classmates... However, the experiences associated with leaving father from the family and mother’s illness, helped the actress comprehend her character and grow professionally.

In 2014, Chloe presented a charming duet with Keira Knightley in the melodrama “Baby”, and appeared in the French drama “Sils Maria” with Juliette Binoche and Kristen Stewart. The same year, the drama “If I Stay” was released, in which Moretz plays a cellist in a coma. Her soul rushes between the real world and the afterlife, where her parents ended up after the accident. Initially, Dakota Fanning was eyed for this role, but she abandoned the project due to her senior year at school.

Two years later, the post-apocalyptic action film “The 5th Wave” with Chloe in the title role premiered. Based on the books by Rick Yancey, the story follows Cassie, who, along with other teenagers who survived an alien invasion, fights against the invaders. According to the creators, the film was conceived as another action-packed teenage franchise like The Hunger Games, but critics tore the 5th Wave to smithereens, and there is no word yet on a sequel.

The girl’s next career is impressive: leading roles in the biographical drama “Mind on Fire” (2016), the tragicomedy “I Love You, Daddy” with Louis C.K. (2017), “November Criminals” with Ansel Elgort (2017), “The Miseducation of Cameron Post" (2018). It seems that Chloe made it a rule not to stay in one character: during this period she had the opportunity to play a patient in a mental hospital with amnesia and a mysterious diagnosis, the mistress of an elderly director with a tragic past, a young lesbian...

Chloë Grace Moretz - Personal Life
Chloë Moretz began acting as a child and attracted the attention of fans. Due to her age, the actress did not appear in roles with even a hint of frankness. Chloe quietly transitioned from the ranks of a child actress into her teenage years. But photographs of the naked actress never appeared; Moretz does not appear completely naked.
In the film “Kick-Ass-2,” the performer appeared in a black thong, proving that her figure has long ceased to be childish. The girl also partially exposed herself in the film “Telekinesis.” The public's interest in the star's appearance is fueled by the paparazzi by posting pictures of Chloe in a swimsuit online.
Moretz is passionate about fashion and appears on the covers of famous magazines. She also tried herself as a fashion model. The actress does not have the most model parameters (the girl’s weight is 48 kg and her height is 165 cm), but nevertheless, her photo shoots have repeatedly appeared in the glossy magazines “Flaunt”, “Jalouse”, “Love Magazine”, “Crash Magazine”, “InStyle” and even in famous trendsetters “Vogue” and “Teen Vogue”, “Marie Claire”, “Interview” and “Elle”.
Chloe considers family to be the most important thing. Two of her four brothers are gay. On social networks, Moretz promises to add to the blacklist homophobic fans who allow themselves to speak harshly about the actress’s family or about any other gays. Chloe maintains an official verified account on Instagram. She prefers to post photos in wide light gray or pastel-colored frames. There are very few photographs without stylization on the page, which makes the artist’s account look like an art gallery.
The girl clearly separates her personal life and creativity, not letting the press into her personal affairs. At the beginning of her career, Moretz was worried about various gossip and rumors that journalists spread. When the actress asked where they got the information from, journalists usually answered that they knew the details from sources close to Chloe.
After such statements, the girl began to spread incredible rumors about herself, different for each friend. This is how the actress figured out who was selling stories about her to the press. Moretz took away the main thing from the situation: you can only trust your family. For a long time, the actress did not advertise her personal life, leaving fans to only guess whether Chloe has a boyfriend, and if so, who. But in May 2021, Moretz shared personal details. On The Late Late Show with James Corden, she said that her boyfriend for some time was Brooklyn Beckham, the son of the famous football player David Beckham and singer Victoria Beckham.
The young people broke up after a short romance, as distance and everyone’s busy schedules prevented meetings. The actress’s career is developing rapidly, so the girl is not yet thinking about creating her own family - the appearance of a husband and children in her life.
At the end of 2018, the media circulated photographs showing Chloe in the arms of model Kate Harrison. The girls visited a restaurant together in Malibu, and at the exit they hugged and kissed for a long time. Moretz left the report without comment.
Personal life
The girl adheres to feminism and supports the LGBT movement. Two of her four brothers identify as gay. She tweeted that she will not tolerate homophily among her fans and the Moretzes may be the strangest family in the world, but that's who they are. In 2016, on one of the evening shows, she announced that she was dating Brooklyn Beckham, the son of David and Victoria Beckham. Then they broke up, but in August they were seen together again, in addition, they again mutually followed each other on Instagram. The matter is young, there will be many more novels in her life.
