Chloe Grace Moretz covers the June issue of InStyle UK. I’m sort of surprised by the heat Chloe is getting this year in particular – she’s been a child-actor-in-transition for several years now, consistently working, but it seems like all of a sudden she’s everywhere. Maybe it’s because she’s 19 years old now and people are waiting for one of these younger ladies to become the next Lindsay Lohan. For the record, I don’t think Chloe is the new Lohan. Here are some highlights from her InStyle interview:
What it’s like to date-while-famous: “You already know what I look like in a bathing suit. You know what I look like in a sex scene. You know what I look like when I say ‘I love you’ to someone. You’ve already seen it all.”
The paparazzi interest in whatever she’s doing with Brooklyn Beckham: “It creates a mass frenzy and they follow you in separate cars so you can’t just run around and share little silly and cute moments.”
Her Twitter feud with Kim Kardashian: “I’ve never been afraid to have my own voice and to speak my own mind. I wasn’t catty about it. A lot of people came back and said, ‘You’re wrong.’ I was like, ‘You might disagree with me and that’s great. Let’s have a debate.’ At least I believe in something.”
She doesn’t believe in squads, particularly Taylor Swift’s squad: “No one really puts herself in the shoes of the girl that’s not in the squad — and that was always me. I didn’t go to school. I had all brothers. I was a dork.”
On Donald Trump: “At first, I was like, ‘Look at this silly, loud-mouthed dude running for president. That will never be a reality.’ Then it became this really strong, nasty, dark undercurrent supporting him and funding him to influence the masses. It’s shocking.”
I still like what she said about squads and she’s absolutely right – they are cliques, they are about shunning the outsiders to the clique, and they’re just being dressed up as something vaguely feministic. Now, I still disagree with her about the Kim Kardashian feud, God bless it. I agree that she wasn’t “catty” about what she tweeted to Kim, but there was an air of body-policing and judgment to Chloe’s tweets. But whatever, there was a lot of disagreement about that exchange and maybe Chloe is right – at least she was vocal and she didn’t hide behind a forced, hipster ambivalence.
Here’s Chloe at the Met Gala – she wore Coach. She looked nice, but sort of boring.
