Chloë Grace Moretz says meme made her live a recluse and run away from photographers

Chloe Grace Moretz is opening up about how fame and social media have caused her to “basically” become a “recluse.”

“For a long time I was able to be the Chloë that people see and the Chloë that I am in particular,” the “Kick-Ass” star said in an interview with “Hunger.”

“Then those two worlds collided and I felt really vulnerable and exposed. And then came the onslaught of horrible memes that started being sent to me over my body,” she told the publication.

“I never actually talked about it, but there was a meme that really affected me, me walking into a hotel with a pizza box in my hand. And that photo was manipulated into a ‘Family Guy’ character with the long legs and short torso, and it was one of the most widespread memes at the time.”

Chloë said expressing how upset she was that her body was being made fun of was met with “Oh, it’s funny.”

“And I remember sitting there and thinking, my body is being used as a joke and it’s something I can’t change about who I am, and it’s being posted all over Instagram,” he said.

“To this day, when I see this meme, it’s something very hard to get over.”

This resulted in her becoming “super-self-aware,” she said.

“I was basically a recluse,” the actress said. “It was great because I got away from the photographers and I was able to be myself, and have so many experiences that people didn’t photograph, but at the same time it made me very anxious when I was photographed. My heart rate would rise and I would hyperventilate.”
