Chloe Grace Moretz’s career took off when she starred as a rebellious young vigilante in the popular film Kick-Ass back in 2010. Fast forward four years, and the talented 17-year-old is now on the brink of becoming one of the highest-earning teenage actors in Hollywood. Recent reports from TMZ reveal that Moretz has just secured a substantial payday for her portrayal of a Russian teenage prostitute in the movie The Equalizer. Exciting times lie ahead for this rising star. Check out the video below for more details.
Hollywood sensation Chloe Grace Moretz is on the brink of becoming one of the highest-paid actresses in the industry, thanks to her recent role in the blockbuster film The Equalizer. With a paycheck of $400,000 already secured for her part in the movie, which features Denzel Washington as a former government agent-turned-hardware-store-worker, Moretz stands to earn an additional $150,000 if the film surpasses the $100 million mark at the box office in North America. Surpassing expectations, the action-packed thriller has already grossed over $64 million since its release in late September. However, money is not the driving force behind the 17-year-old star’s career choices. Moretz has adopted a different perspective on film projects after receiving invaluable advice from esteemed director Steven Soderbergh, with whom she collaborated on the off-Broadway play The Library. Recounting their conversation to The Independent, Moretz revealed that Soderbergh advised her to exclusively choose films that she would be willing to work on without any monetary compensation. Embracing this philosophy, she noted, “And that’s how I’ve always lived my life.”
Controversially, the young actor, at the age of 17, portrays a Russian teenage sex worker in the thrilling action movie. In an intriguing twist, their earnings could reach an impressive $550,000, but only if the film manages to exceed $100 million in ticket sales within North America.
Badass guy: Denzel Washington takes on the role of a retired operative from a top-secret government agency in the film, which is based on the popular 80s television series. “I’ve never been the type to say, ‘I’ll only do this if I’m getting paid millions!’… My life has never been driven by money,” says the charismatic actor. Regarding her controversial new character, alongside Denzel, the actress strongly believes in the script’s ability to inspire through the portrayal of a troubled young woman. During an interview with MTV, she expressed, “That’s what really spoke to me about the script. The character has been objectified by life, but the film goes against the grain by humanizing her completely. It’s rare to see young female characters treated this way, especially when they’re depicted as prostitutes or sex workers… Normally, they’re just exploited for the sake of it.”
Intelligent lady: The actor firmly asserts that her motivation does not lie in money, and she solely selects projects that she would willingly undertake without any financial gain.
Major breakthrough: The talented actress rose to prominence with her role as the feisty superhero Hit-Girl in the critically acclaimed film Kick-Ass back in 2010. Despite her desire to maintain privacy and concentrate on her career, Chloe’s association with Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, has garnered attention from the media. During a recent interview on American television, she was questioned about the speculation surrounding their alleged romantic relationship. Caught off guard, Chloe couldn’t help but speak highly of her newfound friend. She expressed, “I can’t really say… he’s genuinely a wonderful person. Spending time with him is something I truly enjoy!”
Casual: Chloe, featured in the photo alongside her mother Teri, prefers to maintain a low profile, keeping her personal life away from the prying eyes of the public. However, there have been recent rumors connecting her to Brooklyn Beckham, another young celebrity.
