Chloë Grace Moretz Says a Male Costar Once Said: ‘You’re Too Big for Me’
Chloe Grace Moretz was once fat shamed by a male costar, he actress recently told Variety.
“This guy that was my love interest was like, ‘I’d never date you in real life,’ and I was like, ‘What?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, you’re too big for me’ — as in my size. It was one of the only actors that ever made me cry on set,” she said. “It just makes you realize that there are some really bad people out there, and for some reason, he felt the need to say that to me.”
She’s also been turned down for roles because of her hair color. “Because I’m blond and there’s another blond in the movie, you can’t cast me?’” she says. “That’s such a masculine way of looking at things… Even if you’re being paid equally, it’s the little things, especially if the male lead is bigger than you. You aren’t listened to as much, and you take a backseat.”
