How Old Was Chloë Grace Moretz as Hit-Girl in Kick-Ass?

When any brand hosts any event, you can almost be guaranteed that said brand’s ambassadors will be front row center at said event.

In June 2016, Kick-Ass actress Chloe Grace Moretz, who had been the face of Coach for two years, unsurprisingly wore a full Coach ensemble as she arrived at the sixth annual Coach and Friends of the High Line Summer Party held in New York City.

Six years earlier, she starred as Hit-Girl in Matthew Vaughn’s action film “Kick-Ass,” based on the comic book series by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.

Chloë Grace Moretz was born on February 10, 1997, and was 13 years old when the film “Kick-Ass” was released in 2010. Filming started in September 2008 when she was 11.

Before filming, Moretz underwent months of training with Jackie Chan’s stunt team and a circus school in Toronto, and she performed most of her own stunts on location.

Because of her young age, Moretz’s role in the violent film sparked controversy. However, she received widespread critical acclaim for her performance. Renowned film critic Roger Ebert gave the film only one star but praised Moretz’s “presence and appeal.”

A month before receiving the script for “Kick-Ass,” Chloe Moretz expressed a desire to their mother for an Angelina Jolie-type action role for kids.

“It’s a movie and it’s not real. It was really funny because about a month before we got the script for the movie, Wanted came out. I was in the car with my mom, and this is a true story, no faking or anything, I was like, ‘Oh my God, mom, I really want an Angelina Jolie action kids role!’ She was like, ‘They don’t make kids movies like that.’”

“A month later, we got a script for Kick-Ass and my mom read it, and she was like, ‘Oh my gosh, Chloe. You’re gonna love it! It’s an amazing role and exactly what you’ve been wanting.’ From the get-go, we wanted the film really badly. I read it and I was like, ‘I have to be Hit Girl!’ I did the whole process, and eventually I booked it and I freaked out. I was screaming for two days straight.”

Matthew Vaughn encountered several rejections from studios before he eventually raised the budget for “Kick-Ass” at a dinner party and made the movie independently. He later sold the film to Universal for a higher price than he had initially requested.

The producers faced opposition from multiple studios who demanded that Hit-Girl be removed from the film or made nineteen years old.

It was Chloë Grace Moretz’s mother who suggested that they stay true to the comic book and have her daughter use the word “cunt.”

“It’s a movie; it’s not me,” Moretz explained in an interview. “If I ever uttered one word that I said in [‘Kick-Ass’], I would be grounded for years! I’d be stuck in my room until I was 20! “I would never in a million years say [what Hit-Girl says in this film],” she laughed.

“I’m an average, everyday girl; when I act with my friends, I’m totally immature. … I have to go to bed at 9:30. If I’m up late on the computer, I lose it for two months.”

Meanwhile, the lead character’s name, Dave Lizewski, was selected at a charity auction run by Kick-Ass co-creator and writer Mark Millar before the first issue of the comic book was published. The auction winner chose to use his own name for the character.

For the 6th annual party on the High Line, the then-19-year-old actress went for a punk-rock chic vibe, selecting an outfit from Coach’s Resort 2017 collection.

She wore a high-waisted black leather mini skirt, which featured silver-tone zippers, black-and-red chains, and a quilted waistband.

The thigh-grazing number didn’t flatter the young star’s upper figure, but it did highlight her toned legs.

Chloe balanced out the edginess of the skirt with a sheer floral top. She then accessorized with minimal jewelry, allowing her outfit to do the talking.

The “Kick-Ass” star wore her blonde tresses down and added a stylish quiff to play up the punk vibe of the look.

Finally, Chloe walked confidently in a pair of black suede Christian Louboutin “Uptown” pumps. They feature adjustable ankle-wrap straps, pointed toes, and four-inch slim stiletto heels.
