Although she is only 16, Kick-Ass 2 star Chloë Grace Moretz is already a veteran actress.
Born in Atlanta, she began auditioning for acting roles at just six years old when the family moved to Los Angeles. She co-starred in The Amityville Horror when she was eight and became a young star with roles in The Eye, (500) Days Of Summer and Diary Of A Wimpy Kid.
She received rave reviews for her role as Hit-Girl, the pint sized vigilante in Matthew Vaughn’s hyper-violent action film Kick-Ass, although her character’s vulgar language attracted controversy from some pundits and political figures who decried the use of such words by a young actress.
After starring roles in Let Me In and Hugo, and with the remake of Carrie awaiting release, she has donned her purple wig again and returns as Hit-Girl in Kick-Ass 2 .
When we last sa w Hit-Girl and Kick-Ass, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson , they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. What happens next?
They decide to start the world’s first superhero team, but Mindy doesn’t know whether she is supposed to be a normal schoolgirl or a crime-fighting vigilante who kills people. There’s an emotional tug-of-war between Hit-Girl and Mindy.
What are the differences for you between the first movie and this one?
The obvious difference is that I’m older now and a different person.
I was only 11 when we made the first one and there’s only so much you can do emotionally with an 11-year-old, so we did a lot of stunts and pushed the boundaries with words and now we needed to do something new.
We needed to show the girl who doesn’t know if she ’s a villain or a vigilante and what she’s like when she goes home and takes off the costume.
What is she like when she’s not ?Hit-Girl?
I wanted to show that this girl didn’t have a father any more and how much that affected her.
She’s really confused and going through the self-torture of “Am I killing people because this is what I was raised to believe is a good thing? Or am I just murdering people?†I wanted to show her inner pain, and the fact she’s lost her father, who was her only family.
Is there still plenty of action?
Yes, but it’s a bit different. I do use guns a little, but we basically do hand-to-hand combat and it’s just a lot more hands-on. There’s a lot of cool stuff.
The outfit is much cooler, the hair is cool â€" purple, obviously â€" and there are a lot of superheroes.
What was it like to be surrounded by males on the set?
I grew up with four brothers so I feel more comfortable arou nd guys than I do with girls.
Yes, I was surrounded by boys in the movie and there was a lot of burping going on and showing muscles. It was ridiculous, but it was fun.
How did you become an actress?
My older brother, Trevor, got into acting and as a little girl I would hear him do his monologues and I would memorise them too and spew them out.
Everyone at school, my friends and my family, all found it pretty weird, but I realised that was what I wanted to do… learn lines and pretend to be someone else.
Â
Was there a movie that inspired you?
One of the first movies I saw that inspired me was Breakfast At Tiffany’s, and I absolutely fell in love with Audrey Hepburn.
I thought that if she can light up a screen and make me smile, I would like to do that to people too, and that’s why she’s been an idol to me.
How do you deal with fame? How do your friends react to you now?
Fame makes you more of an outcast because people think they can’t relate to you.
I have to figure out if there’s an ulterior motive in people wanting to know me and it makes it hard to trust anyone.
I’ve had my same best friends since I was eight years old and I keep my friend base small and close to me.
How do you plan your life and career?
I try to do what I love, which is acting. And then I kind of just go along with everything else.
I go to my premieres and stuff and I love getting dressed up and going to fashion shows, but mostly I try to pick the roles that I love the most and go wherever that leads me.
I do acting because I love it and it’s my passion. I don’t ever take it for granted and I don’t do it for the fame or the money.
You seem to be very happy. Do you ever get fed up or miserable?
I wake up every day loving life and being thankful for what I have, and even if something horrible happens, there’s always someone who has it worse.
No matter how hard something is, I always try to find the silver lining.?
* Kick-Ass 2 is out now.
