Chloë Grace Moretz, an award-winning American actress opened up about her experience working in the film industry at an early age.

Moretz made her debut when she was 8 years old through the movie The Amityville Horror. The movie was released in 2005. Young star said that she always felt that her views were getting ignored and no one took her seriously because of her age. While interviewing for a podcast episode on Reign with Josh Smith she said that “it was always really interesting to see who would be unhappy with a young woman”
She continued “ At that point, I had already worked for so many years — almost 10 years — and as I continued through having more important roles on set as I grew up, it was always very interesting to see the pushback that I would get from a lot of people.”
The 30 Rock star explained how she was treated as an immature kid and her views had always been shot down which was really disturbing for her at that point in time.
