Young Hollywood

Oh. Okay. I get it. Yeah. Was Aaron Carter the one who went off and did more of a solo thing? Chloë Grace Moretz: I just really knew him when I was about seven, eight years old. I'm not sure currently. I just remember that was like my crush from like I'm currently not too sure where that is right now. But at that time back in the day. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

In love. That's the best part. Um so in the film you read somebody's journal. Your character reads Chloe's journal. Is there anybody whose journal you would actually like to read? Chloë Grace Moretz: This is kinda messed up, but I just got it accidentally. I got sent someone's suitcase to my house.

Young Hollywood

Are you serious? Chloë Grace Moretz: It was really good. It was like this like twenty-something-year-old guy and I know, it's really wrong. But the entire family hovered around this journal and it was real good. But then I was like what if I turn the next page and it has like all the names of my family members and I'm like Oh my god. This is a murder mystery now. No.

Young Hollywood

Were there any good clothes in there? I would have stolen the clothes if there were Chloë Grace Moretz: Oh my god, evil! I didn't steal anything. Just your secrets.

Young Hollywood

Like Louis Vuittons or something? Oh you just kept them. I'm not okay with this, guys. Fevery and you're the one that actually sent your thing to the wrong place. I mean, I just found it. Snooping. So in the film, there is you know there's squads. There's like squad I guess the you know in the film in the first squad five, squad. If you guys were actually gonna fight aliens in a dystopian society and you could have one actor, one singer and one random person being your squad, who would it be? Actor, singer, and random person. Yes.

Alex Roe

I don't know. So singer, I'd probably say Adele. Just cuz she'd make a great life of the party. Actor wise, I would probably choose like I don't know. I feel like maybe like Michael Fassbender. Chloë Grace Moretz: This is getting weird now. It's getting weird. You weren't gonna say Michael Fassbender. Okay. And if you're if your third and random one was gonna be Bear Grylls, then I actually was gonna say Bear Grylls! I swear to god I was about to say Bear Grylls. But I was gonna put him in the act. I was thinking about putting him in actor category cuz he's kinda an actor. But then I was like no, I'll do the random. Yeah. That's weird.

Young Hollywood

So you actually really have the same list. We have the same squad. How well do you know each other? You guys have been working together a lot, haven't you? Thank you for coming in.
