\tChlo\u00eb Grace Moretz spoke bluntly to Hunter magazine about becoming a \u201crecluse\u201d after her body dysmorphia was exacerbated by \u201chorrific\u201d memes on social media, most notably one meme comparing her body to a \u201cFamily Guy\u201d character. The viral meme, which ridiculed the actor’s body, was created after a photographer snapped a picture of Moretz walking into a hotel carrying a pizza box.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cThen came the onslaught of horrific memes that started getting sent to me about my body,\u201d Moretz said. \u201cI’ve actually never really talked about this, but there was one breast that really affected me, of me walking into a hotel with a pizza box in my hand. And this photo got manipulated into a character from ‘Family Guy’ with the long legs and the short torso, and it was one of the most widespread memes at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cEveryone was making fun of my body, and I brought it up with someone and they were like, ‘Oh, shut the fuck up, it’s funny,’\u201d Moretz continued. \u201cAnd 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tMoretz explained that she was \u201ckind of sad\u201d after the meme went viral because \u201cit 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 \u2014 which we all deal with in this world \u2013 is extrapolated by the issues of social media. It’s a headfuck.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n

\tBody dysmorphia is a mental health condition where a person is often riddled with anxiety due to perception flaws in their physical appearance, which are usually unnoticeable to others.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cI basically became a recluse,\u201d Moretz said of the effect of social media memes about her body. \u201cIt 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tMoretz last starred in the Hulu original movie \u201cMother\/Android,\u201d and she’ll next lend her voice to Netflix’s animated \u201cNimona\u201d movie.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
