[Variety] Like most young women in Hollywood, Chloe Grace Moretz has experienced her fair share of sexism. Moretz’s brothers were there for her during one of her toughest times as a young actress — she was fat-shamed on the set of one of her movies by a male co-star.
“This guy that was my love interest was like, ‘I’d never date you in real life,’ and I was like, ‘What?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, you’re too big for me’ — as in my size,” says Moretz. “It was one of the only actors that ever made me cry on set.” She opts not to reveal her co-star’s identity, only to say she was 15 at the time and he was in his mid-20s.
After she left set that day, she collapsed into tears. “It just makes you realize that there are some really bad people out there, and for some reason, he felt the need to say that to me.”

I think it’s either Jamie Blackley, Rory Culkin, or Alex Russell. It wouldn’t be Aaron Taylor-Johnson he was never her love interest in KA2.

The only movie that would make sense is If I Stay which would make the actor Jamie Blackley
LC1216 says
Definitely can’t be Aaron Taylor Johnson. He’s married to a woman who is 23 yrs older than him, and is probably the same size at Chloe. He’s far from shallow.
I want to go with Ansel Elgort. He looks like he’d be a dirt bag.

One word: Honest
karilelu says
Chloe’s brother shot down suggestions on Twitter that it’s Taylor-Johnson, considering Aaron is married to a 50 year old woman and is a father of 4 daughters, one (step) daughter being the same age as Chloe, I seriously doubt he would make comments on a young girls body.
I don’t know who the guy is but he is gross.

Tyler Posey, for some reason? She may have changed the age?

I don’t believe this was probably anything more than a joke. She’s a horrible attention seeker!!
CherryBomb27 says
It could be Aaron Taylor Johnson but whoever it is, what a creep!!
Firstly, Why the hell would you deem it necessary and appropriate to comment on the body shape/type of anyone?
Secondly, I know he played her love interest in the film but the fact she was 15 when this happened and he was in his Mid 20’s doesn’t set well with me at all.

It must be the equalizer? She played a hooker and wore a very short skirt. No idea the actor.

Aaron Taylor Johnson
One Word – Typical
She would have been 14 going on 15 when the movie was released. Aaron Taylor Johnson was born in 1990 and would have been 7 years older than Chloe, which would have made him 22/23.

Chloe Moretz and Aaron Johnson in Kick ass 2?
Read about her words before and watched this film yesterday. She looks very good in it, definitely not “big”!
He is not only rude but stupid and shallow!
SilverLining says
For me this is a truly a guess since I’ve never seen a few of her films, although, I respect her work especially considering how young she still is (she is around my daughter’s age).
Movie: Kick-Ass 2 (released in 2013)?
Actor: Aaron Taylor Johnson or Christopher Mintz-Plasse?
Note: Even though they were in the 1st movies too according to IMDB (checked since I didn’t see them) maybe they didn’t discuss those type of things until working on the 2nd one?
Optional:…
SilverLining says
…Optional: Ignorant/Immature
I’ve never been fat-shamed but I had a similar event about another body feature that was a temporary situation given I was still maturing; over time I was able to put it into perspective how uninformed & immature the other party must have been to say what they said to me. In this case, if the male actor was a little bit older at the time I would say he is narcissistic at best; yet if I was the male actor’s mom I would be very upset at my son’s behavior at any…

Carrie?
Whover played her love interest
It came out in 2013 so was probably filmed in 2012 when she was 15.
He’s an *, sure she’s not the tiniest thing but just don’t date her then – why tell her?

Aaron Taylor Johnson in KickAss 2 or Elgort in Carrie?
Max Power says
I have no idea but I think it may be Jamie Blackley in the film If I stay (released 2014) which may have been filmed when Chloe was about 15 (Born Feb 97) and he was about 22 (Born July 1991).

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Kick-Ass 2. Shame on him. I used to like him in Godzilla, and Avengers, but if he did this to a fifteen year old, he’s a creep.

Good lord, this has to be the narcissistic Jamie Blackley, her co-star in “If I Stay”. He summed it up best himself, in an interview regarding his character in the film— “He’s a nice guy, a romantic guy – he’s nothing like me.”
At least he admits it. Bravo for self awareness.
Age timeline matches up perfectly with filming dates.

Movie: Kick-Ass 2 (2013)
Actor: Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Raoul Duke says
The only Chloe released in 2012 was Dark Shadows which she had no love interest. Therefore it had to be a movie released in 2013.
That narrows it down to three movies, as the 4th movie was a documentary. So either:
Movie 43
Kick Arse 2
Carrie
Ahhh don’t be Ansel Elgort….
Conchord says
The only movie that seems to (loosely) fit the time frame is If I Stay from 2014. Her boyfriend in the film was played by Jamie Blackley, who is 6 years older than her. That would make him about 21, which isn’t “mid-20s” but may be close enough for her to say that (and she might have been quoting him around when the film was released).

kick ass 2
aaron taylor johnston he was 22 she was 15 only 2 other movies fit the time span, the guy was only 18 in Carrie so nada to that one
if she is misremembering and was 16 at the time then a couple of other movies come into play

Based strictly on timeline, I’m guessing the actor is Christopher Mintz-Plasse and the movie is Kick-Ass 2, filmed when she was 15 and he was 23.

PrincessConnie1 says
Yep! She would have been about 15 at the time and he was in his early 20’s. Played her love interest.
He is NO prize and not easy on the eyes so he has NO room to talk about not being real life dating material.

Unless we know who the actor is we don’t know if he was fat shaming, he may have been a diminutive little fellow. Her only problem is she doesn’t have a neck, it’s genetic so she should dres and wear her hair to try to appear she has a neck.
