1.She named her dogs after her first big film
Chloe Grace Moretz was only 6 years old when she landed the role of Chelsea Lutz in The Amityville Horror,
but the movie left an indelible mark on the young actress. In its
honor, she named her dog Fuller after producer Bradley Fuller, and she
named her dog Missy after the nickname of her character in the movie.
2.She's got a virtual pack of brothers
No wonder this girl's got a taste for all things tomboy and macabre!
She has four older brothers — Brandon, Trevor, Colin and Ethan. "My mom
has always taught us that blood is thicker than water," Moretz says of
her relationship with her siblings. "No one will ever understand the
dynamic of your family. Ever. We are the closest family ever, and we are
the most insane family ever. It may look weird to others, but to us,
it's life."
3.Hit-Girl behavior wouldn't fly in her household
When it comes to roles, Moretz goes for the shock factor — audiences
let out a collective gasp in 2010 when she debuted the foul-mouthed
vigilante killer Hit-Girl in the hit film Kick-A**. But lest
anyone get her character in the movie confused with her in real life,
Moretz clarifies of the part, "I was raised to think cursing makes you
look unintelligent. As Chloe, I can honestly say I've never uttered a
syllable of a curse word, not even behind closed doors."
4.She still gets grounded
Churning out blockbuster hits may give you a leg up in Hollywood, but
it gets you no special treatment in the Moretz family. "My mom has
always said that if I get a big head, she'll take me out of this
business as quickly as I got into it," the actress explains. Referring
to herself as an "average, everyday girl," Moretz assures of her
normalcy, "I have to go to bed at 9:30, and if I'm up late on the
computer, I lose it for two months." Yikes!
5.She wasn't always the only sister
While Moretz routinely talks about her four brothers, she rarely lets
it slip that she once had another sibling. However, in a feature for Interview
magazine, she told Drew Barrymore, "I used to have a sister, but I
never got to meet her, because she died after two days, I think. So if I
got a tattoo, it would probably be something to do with my sister."
6.She prefers gummy bears over pig's blood
We're all familiar by now with the pig's blood plotline in Carrie.
But if Moretz had her druthers, the reboot would have included her being
showered in something much... sweeter. When asked what she'd rather
have been drenched in, the starlet chose gummy bears. "They're
delicious," she jokes. "That sounds way more fun than blood. Also, gummy
bears aren't that heavy. So it wouldn't be like you're being hit by
rocks."
7.Her address is in LA, but her heart is in NYC
During an interview for Teen Vogue, Moretz turns into a
total tourist when she steps onto an observation deck overlooking New
York's famed Central Park. "Oh, my God, I have to Instagram this," she
squeals, telling the writer, "Los Angeles is fun and I've lived there
for 10 years, but there's something about New York. I'm pretty much New
York in every way."
8.Julianne Moore intimidates her
In Carrie, the mother of Moretz's title character is played
by veteran actress Julianne Moore — whom she has nothing but praise for.
"With Julianne, she is the nicest lady, but at the same time she is the
most fearsome actress you'll ever see," Moretz gushes. "She's the type
of actress I look up to in a mentor-type way, and she's someone whose
career I will try to emulate."
9.She's a sucker for poise
While Moretz has chosen many roles in which she is anything but
ladylike, the 16-year-old cites some surprisingly refined choices when
asked in an interview who her dream dinner dates would be. Any guesses?
If you wagered film greats Drew Barrymore, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn
Monroe, Natalie Wood and Grace Kelly, you are spot-on, my friend.
10.Her older brother gave up his career for hers
Some people can't get their big brothers to be seen in public with
them, much less devote their entire life to helping their little sister
out. Moretz's older brother Trevor was among the first to recognize his
sister's talent. "Even as a tiny child, she had something," he told W magazine. He walked away from his own career ambitions and now serves as her producer, mentor, guru and more.
