Childhood and Family

The future star Chloë Grace Moretz was born on February 10, 1997, in Atlanta, Georgia. She grew up in a medical family: her mother, Teri Duke, was a nurse, and her father, McCoy Moretz, was a plastic surgeon. Chloë could have followed in their footsteps, but fortunately, she chose her own path.

In 2002, she moved to New York with her mom and older brother Trevor, since both kids dreamed of acting careers and Trevor had been accepted into the Professional Performing Arts School. Their Dad and the other three brothers (Brandon, Colin, and Ethan) stayed in Atlanta. In 2003, the whole family moved to Los Angeles.

First Roles

Chloë ended up succeeding in acting far more than her brother. The young actress got her first role in 2004 in the series The Guardian, where she played Violet in two episodes. Then she had a small role in the comedy "Family Plan" (appearing as Tori Spelling's character in her younger years). In 2005, she starred in The Amityville Horror, where she played the younger daughter of the title characters (Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George) who missed her murdered father the most.

The angelic-looking girl's roof-walking scene impressed many horror film directors. Her filmography soon filled up with horror films and mystical thrillers: "Room 6", "Wicked Little Things", "Hallowed Ground", "Not Forgotten", and "The Eye". The audience claimed that in the latter Moretz played even better than Jessica Alba.

With her busy schedule, Chloë couldn't attend regular school – she studied with tutors over Skype and did homework in trailers on set. Her brother Trevor took over the duties of her acting coach and her agent – he helped her communicate with the press.

Chloë's growing popularity couldn't have come at a better time for her family, who faced one calamity after another. First, her dad, who'd helped many Hollywood stars improve their looks, declared bankruptcy in 2005. It turned out that the family lived beyond their means and accumulated over $5 million in debt. Creditors seized their luxurious $3.4 million mansion, their cars, and all their property.

In 2007, Teri found out she had kidney cancer. In 2009, McCoy walked out on the family, leaving his wife with their 5 kids. Later, the actress admitted this caused serious psychological trauma, and it took her a long time to recover.

In 2009, the young actress appeared in romantic comedy-drama "500 Days of Summer" alongside Zooey Deschanel, and in 2010, she landed a breakthrough role in superhero comedy "Kick-Ass". Critics praised her performance, saying she "steals the show". The 11-year-old Mindy, who masterfully wields weapons and earns the Hit-Girl nickname, is truly outstanding, especially compared to the bumbling Dave, played by Aaron Johnson.

Chloë Grace Moretz got two MTV Movie Awards for that role: Best Breakout Star and Biggest Badass Star. That same year, she played a vampire kid in the horror film "Let Me In".

There was growing interest around the rising star, and the number of premieres featuring Moretz proved it. In 2011 alone, she appeared in three diverse projects: crime film "Texas Killing Fields" featuring Sam Worthington, where Moretz played a girl from a disadvantaged family; comedy-drama "Hick" with Chloë as the lead actress whose armed character gets immersed in a world of violence; and family story "Hugo," produced by Martin Scorsese.

The year 2013 was also very fruitful – several films starring Moretz hit theaters: "Movie 43" (Chloë appeared in the "Middleschool Date" segment as a girl who unexpectedly gets her first period); the long-awaited sequel to the 2010 film "Kick-Ass"; and psychological thriller "Carrie", the new adaptation of Stephen King's novel.

Even though the director personally chose Moretz for the role of Carrie, Chloë couldn't understand why. She was completely different from the character: the actress had a happy childhood, came from a well-off family, and had many admirers, while her character Carrie was a quiet student oppressed by her unstable mother and peers. However, the drama of Chloë's father leaving the family and her mother's illness helped Moretz understand her character better and grow professionally.

In 2014, Moretz appeared in a charming duet with Keira Knightley in the romantic comedy "Laggies"; she also played in French drama film "Clouds of Sils Maria" along with Juliette Binoche and Kristen Stewart. That same year, another drama, "If I Stay", was released. Moretz plays a cellist in a coma. Her spirit goes back and forth between the real world and the afterlife, where her family went after an accident. Initially, Dakota Fanning wanted to play this role but later on, she dropped out of the project because of her senior year at school.

Two years later, the post-apocalyptic action film "The 5th Wave" with Moretz in the leading role. According to the storyline based on the novel of the same name by Rick Yancey, Chloë's character Cassie, along with other teenagers who survived alien invasion, fights the intruders. The studio hoped to launch another teen action franchise like "The Hunger Games," but critics absolutely tore "The 5th Wave" apart, killing any sequel plans.

Moretz's next projects showcased her range: she played leading roles in the biographical drama film "Brain on Fire" (2016); comedy-drama film "I Love You, Daddy" (2017) with Louis C.K.; "November Criminals" (2017) starring Ansel Elgort; and "The Miseducation of Cameron Post" (2018). Moretz clearly refused to be typecast, taking on wildly different roles in quick succession: a psychiatric patient with amnesia and a mysterious diagnosis, the mistress of an elderly director with a tragic past, and a young lesbian.

In 2018, she worked on the supernatural horror film "Suspiria". Dakota Johnson and Mia Goth became her colleagues on the set. The story unfolds at a ballet academy under a sinister spell.

Also in 2018, audiences anticipated the thriller "The Widow," starring Chloë alongside Maika Monroe and Isabelle Huppert.

Chloë Grace Moretz also voiced Wednesday Addams in the animated film "The Addams Family," which was released in 2019.

Personal Life of Chloë Grace Moritz

Early in her career, Chloë dated fellow actor Colin Ford, then moved on to a relationship with Cameron Fuller in 2013.
In 2014, the actress started her relationship with Brooklyn (born in 1999), David and Victoria Beckham's son. They first met at the gym, and though they denied dating for months, the paparazzi kept catching them together – at Ed Sheeran's concert, Paris Fashion Week, you name it. They eventually split – reportedly over Brooklyn's flirtation with Selena Gomez – but reunited in 2016.

Their relationship hit some rough patches, partly due to Chloë's packed schedule leaving little time for romance. Chloë gave it one more shot, but they officially called it quits in 2018. Soon after, tabloids linked her to Alex Roe, the British actor who co-starred with her in "The 5th Wave."

In 2019, the paparazzi caught Chloë Moretz several times with Playboy model, Kate Harrison. The pair were spotted at the airport and various parties, though Chloë never officially commented on the rumors.
