‘I’m in a business you can’t be a little kid in’: 14-year-old actress Chloë Moretz on why she had to grow up fast

Kick-Ass: Chloë Moretz poses for this month's Asos magazine



She's worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood and she isn't even old enough to drive yet.

So it's no wonder 14-year-old Chloë Moretz is wise beyond her years.

The actress, who shot to fame as a foul-mouthed crime-fighter in controversial superhero film kick Ass, admits that to survive in the industry, she has to adopt two personalities.



Fashion savvy: Despite barely being a teenager, Chloë is more style savvy than most women double her age



The Hugo star told Asos Magazine: 'There’s “friend Chloë” and “actress Chloë”.

'When I’m talking about my work, I’m more conscious and listen to what I say. I guess I have to be.

'I’m in a business you can’t be a little kid in, or you don’t make it far.'



Feet on the ground: Chloë claims she favours High Street brands including Topshop and American Apparel



But Chloë is also proving she isn't just business savvy.

With a string of red carpet hits and designers like Marc Jacobs falling over themselves to dress her - she's obviously style savvy too.

The teenager, who posed for a fairground-themed shoot for the retail website's magazine, has worn high-end labels that are the envy of most women double her age, including Christopher Kane and Proenza Schouler.



Dream role: The actress is currently filming Dark Shadows, starring Helena Bonham Carter, Michelle Pfeiffer and Johnny Depp



But the actress insists she likes to hit the High Street when it comes to every day wear and favours Topshop and American Apparel: ‘My mom won’t let me buy high-fashion stuff unless it’s TK Maxx or a birthday occasion.

'Then she’ll get me a little thing.’

But although she lives in Converse trainers, Chloë admits she has a weakness for Rupert Sanderson shoes: 'I have so many shoes by that label.



Rising star: Chloë has been described as having 'magnetic quality'



'They’re not ridiculously comfortable to wear but they are the most beautiful.'

Chloë has been busy with 17 red carpet appearances this year, including promoting Hugo, directed by Tim Burton and Martin Scorsese.

her precious roles include cult vampire film Let The Right One and 500 Days Summer.

Her latest project sees her in the prestigious company of Helena Bonham Carter, Michelle Pfeiffer and reunited with Hugo co-star Johnny Depp under the direction of Tim Burton in his adaptation of cult ‘60s TV show, Dark Shadows.



The full interview features in this month's issue of Asos Magazine



Despite the who's who repertoire, she appears to still have her feet on the ground, saying: ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t even begin to tell you how exciting it is to go on set each day.

'I have to pinch myself. How did this happen? How do you end up in a movie with these people?’

It surely won't be long before aspiring actresses same the same about her.
