Early-life:
Chloe Grace Moretz was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on February 10, 1997 to Teri and McCoy. She has four older brothers, Brandon, Trevor, Ethan and Colin. She moved to New York in 2002 with her mother and brother Trevor when he was accepted into the Professional Performing Arts School. It kick-started her interest in acting because she used to help her brother read lines and he taught her some of the acting techniques he learned. In 2004, she landed her first professional acting work in two episodes of the series The Guardian.
Career:
Moretz's first movie role was in Heart of the Beholder (2005), but it would be her second big-screen acting role, in The Amityville Horror (2005), that brought her to the attention of a wider audience. She followed this up with parts in Big Momma's House 2 (2006), Dirty Sexy Money and Desperate Housewives. Her big break came in 2010 when she landed a lead role in Kick-Ass. Since then, she has appeared in Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010), Jack and the Beanstalk (2010), Hugo (2011), Kick-Ass 2 (2013) and Carrie (2013).
