\tChlo\u00eb Grace Moretz was only 8 years old when her first movie, the 2005 Ryan Reynolds-starring \u201cThe Amityville Horror\u201d remake, opened in theaters. By the time she was 14, she was leading her first major Hollywood production with \u201cCarrie.\u201d Despite basically growing up on film sets, Moretz said older men often \u201cinfantilized\u201d her as a teen actor and almost always shot down her ideas.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cIt was always odd from my first leading role when I was 14 in ‘Carrie’\u2026 it was always really interesting to see who would be really unhappy with a young woman,\u201d Moretz said on the \u201cReign with Josh Smith\u201d podcast (via The Independent). \u201cAt that point, I had already worked for so many years \u2014 almost 10 years \u2014 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cThe majority of it was older men for sure who would infantilize me,\u201d Moretz continued. \u201cIf I had real things to bring to the table, a lot of the time it would get shot down\u2026 Having to even advocate to an older man on behalf of your 14, 15, 16-year-old self is a really, really crazy kind of mind fuck.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tMoretz said she often engaged in a \u201cpower struggle\u201d with these older male figures on set, even though she was just a teenager at the time. <\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cI think boundaries are super important,\u201d Moretz said about learning from her set experiences. \u201cAnd part of realizing your boundaries and actually enforcing your boundaries is speaking your truth without blame or judgement to people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cBoundaries are a new thing for me. I didn’t grow up with any boundaries,\u201d Moretz added. \u201cI didn’t learn any boundaries in my life and I got hit like a ton of bricks multiple times and I was like, ‘You know what? I think I need to learn this thing called boundaries.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\tMoretz currently stars in Amazon Prime Video’s original series \u201cThe Peripheral.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
