She continues to be an active presence in the industry, with new projects in development.[edit]

Chloë Grace Moretz was born on February 10, 1997, in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Growing up in a household with four older brothers, she often credits them with "toughening her up". Her family's life took a significant turn when her brother, Trevor, was accepted into the Professional Performing Arts School in New York City. To support his artistic endeavors, the entire family relocated to New York. This move proved to be pivotal for Chloë as well, opening doors for her own burgeoning interest in acting; she began auditioning almost immediately.

While balancing her academic pursuits, Moretz attended the Professional Children's School and later the prestigious LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts. Her early career as a child performer saw her quickly land her first professional role, a small part in the horror film The Amityville Horror (2005). This was followed by guest appearances on popular television shows such as Desperate Housewives (2006–2007) and Dirty Sexy Money. She continued to build her resume with roles in films like the horror movie The Eye (2008) and the romantic comedy (500) Days of Summer (2009), where she played the younger sister of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character. These initial roles, though minor, were crucial in helping her learn the rhythms of a film set and gain valuable experience, catching Hollywood's attention early with her natural charisma.[edit]

Everything changed in 2010 when Moretz landed the role of Mindy Macready, aka Hit-Girl, in Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass. At 13, she delivered a performance that was both shocking and hilarious, stealing every scene. The film was a cult hit, and Moretz became a household name overnight. She followed it with a lead role in Martin Scorsese's Hugo (2011), which earned strong reviews, and then worked with Tim Burton on Dark Shadows (2012).

In 2013 she reprised Hit-Girl in Kick-Ass 2 and took on the iconic role of Carrie White in the Stephen King adaptation Carrie. She held her own opposite Denzel Washington in The Equalizer (2014) and showed comedic chops in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016). The sci-fi thriller The 5th Wave (2016) targeted the YA audience. Her most acclaimed work came in 2018 with The Miseducation of Cameron Post, a drama about conversion therapy that won her Best Actress from the San Diego Film Critics Society. More recently she voiced Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family (2019) and its sequel, and the title character in Nimona (2023). She is set to appear in the play Caroline in 2025.[edit]

Moretz has cultivated a reputation as a serious actress who avoids the typical child-star pitfalls. She is known for her thoughtful interviews and willingness to discuss mental health, body image, and the pressures of fame. Her fashion style has evolved from youthful and quirky to elegant and sophisticated, often gracing red carpets in designer gowns. She has a strong social media presence, with millions of followers on Instagram and X, where she shares behind-the-scenes content and advocacy posts. Her fans, sometimes called 'Chloë's Army,' are loyal and vocal, supporting her projects and defending her against online criticism. She is seen as a role model for young women navigating the entertainment industry.[edit]

Chloë Grace Moretz has been a fixture in Hollywood for over two decades, but her fame is not currently quantified by a placement in iFANN's published rankings. As of August 2026, the Global Fame Engine has evaluated her, yet she does not hold a spot in the Global Top 1,000 or any Top-100 scope list. This is not a reflection of her cultural footprint; rather, it underscores the unique nature of her career, built on critically acclaimed independent films and franchise work that resonates deeply with dedicated audiences rather than mass chart-topping phenomena.

Her fanbase, while substantial, boasting over 23 million Instagram followers, has never coalesced around a formal name. There is no official fandom moniker, no codified identity like the Beyhive or Swifties. Fans simply call themselves Chloë fans, and their engagement is enthusiastic but conventional: celebrating her birthday on social media, discussing her latest projects, and appreciating her candidness about her personal life, including her marriage to Kate Harrison. The fandom is moderately organized, lacking the coordinated campaigns or elaborate rituals seen in other communities. This quiet, loyal support aligns with Moretz's own approach to fame, she engages thoughtfully, shares behind-the-scenes glimpses, and uses her platform for advocacy, particularly around mental health.

Her legend is built on moments of integrity and humor. The shelved Louis C.K. film controversy, where she publicly stated the film "should just go away," is a story fans still retell as a defining act of principle. Similarly, her playful insult exchange with Seth Rogen during Bad Neighbours 2 promotion became a viral moment, showcasing her willingness to not take herself too seriously. These stories, alongside her foundational breakout as Hit-Girl in Kick-Ass, form the lore that keeps her fanbase engaged, even without a formal ranking or name.[edit]

Beyond her on-screen roles, Chloë Grace Moretz is a devoted Atlanta Braves fan, often spotted at games when she's home. She sports a semicolon tattoo on her wrist, a symbol of mental health awareness, and is a trained pianist who has played in several films. Despite a fear of flying, she travels constantly for work. She once expressed interest in playing a superhero again, but only if the role is complex. Her favorite movie growing up was The Little Mermaid.

One of the most retold stories from her career involves the Louis C.K. film I Love You, Daddy. After the comedian's misconduct revelations, the film was shelved, and Moretz has repeatedly stated she does not want it released, saying in a 2026 interview that it "should just kind of go away." Fans cite this as a moment of integrity, a principled stand against association with a disgraced figure.

Another viral moment came during the promotion of Bad Neighbours 2 when she and Seth Rogen traded playful insults on BBC Radio 1, including the memorable "Your butt stinks!" line. The exchange showcased her comedic timing and self-deprecating humor, contrasting with her dramatic roles. Additionally, her on-again, off-again relationship with Brooklyn Beckham was tabloid fodder for years, and she later candidly discussed what the Beckhams were "really like," adding a layer of personal narrative to her public persona.[edit]

Moretz was born to Teri, a nurse, and Dr. McCoy Lee Moretz, a plastic surgeon. She has four older brothers: Brandon, Trevor, Colin, and Ethan. Her brother Trevor was the reason the family moved to New York, and he remains close to her. She has spoken about how her brothers protected her growing up and kept her grounded. As of 2026, she lives in Los Angeles with her dog, a rescue named Gemma. She is not married and has no children.[edit]

Moretz has worked with acclaimed directors including Martin Scorsese (Hugo), Tim Burton (Dark Shadows), and Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass). She has shared the screen with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Nicolas Cage, Denzel Washington, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. She is also friends with fellow young actors like Elle Fanning and Hailee Steinfeld.[edit]

Moretz's dating life has been a topic of public interest since her teens. She was first linked to Brody Jenner in 2010, though neither confirmed the rumour. In 2014, she began a high-profile on-again, off-again relationship with Brooklyn Beckham, which lasted until 2016. They rekindled briefly in 2017 but split for good. That same year, she was rumoured to be dating musician Sarah Hudson and model Sofia Buono, and she briefly dated model Presley Gerber. In 2019, she was linked to Alex Nicholson and model Kate Harrison. More recently, she was rumoured to be dating wrestler Cora Jade in 2023. As of 2026, Moretz is reportedly single and focused on her career.[edit]

As of 2026, iFANN currently estimates Chloë Grace Moretz's net worth at $15 million. The bulk of her wealth stems from her acting career, with salaries for major films like Kick-Ass, Hugo, and The Equalizer reportedly in the high six to low seven figures. She also earns from voice work in animated features such as The Addams Family and Nimona. Endorsement deals with brands like Coach and Pantene have added to her income. She has made smart real estate investments, including a home in Los Angeles. Her net worth has grown steadily since her breakout, and she continues to command strong pay for her projects.[edit]

Moretz has won several awards for her performances. She received a Young Artist Award for her role in Kick-Ass and an MTV Movie Award for Biggest Badass Star for the same film. She won a Saturn Award for Best Performance by a Younger Actor for Let Me In and a Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Young Actor/Actress for Hugo. In 2018, she won Best Actress from the San Diego Film Critics Society for The Miseducation of Cameron Post.[edit]
