Chloe Grace Moretz confirmed that it was getting difficult day by day for her to play Carrie White. She hated having kids laugh at her and almost felt as if she was not just in the shoes of her character but actually became her at that moment.
“And then I grew up and I’ve chosen characters where I’ve proven myself, and I’ve looked at those same people and said, ‘Well, look. You told me I’d never be that actor, and now I’m succeeding at it.’ I’m actually reaching farther and beyond anything I’ve done before.”
While Carrie had a very questionable childhood, Moretz is completely different from her titular character. She stood up on her own feet and became a successful actress despite many people telling her otherwise.
