The actor said the meme contributed to her body dysmorphia.
, she spoke candidly, for the first time, about what the experience was like.
“Everyone was making fun of my body, and I brought it up with someone and they were like, ‘Oh, shut the f*ck up, it’s funny,'” Moretz said in the interview. “And I just remember sitting there and thinking, my body is being used as a joke and it’s something that I can’t change about who I am, and it is being posted all over Instagram. It was something so benign as walking into a hotel with leftovers. And to this day, when I see that meme, it’s something very hard for me to overcome.
Moretz said the meme “took a layer of something that I used to enjoy, which was getting dressed up and going to a carpet and taking a photo, and made me super self-conscious. And I think that body dysmorphia — which we all deal with in this world – is extrapolated by the issues of social media. It’s a headf*ck.”
She went on to say the experience made her a recluse. “It was great because I got away from the photographers and I was able to be myself, and to have so many experiences that people didn’t photograph, but at the same time it made me severely anxious when I was photographed. My heart rate would rise and I would hyperventilate.”
In the interview, she also talked at length about the “darkness that comes with fame,” as she puts it. Moretz, 25, has been acting for the last 20 years, and since she was 12 years old and the star of, has been hounded by paparazzi. It is devastating and unsurprising that with each passing week, another child star shares a horrifying story of the pitfalls of fame.
