Former child star ‘feels old’ as she marks 15th anniversary of iconic R-rated comedy

Chloë Grace Moretz got candid as she celebrated the 15-year anniversary since she starred in Kick-ᴀss.

On Wednesday, the actress, now 28, took to Instagram to mark over a decade since she took on the role of the child vigilante in the 2010 superhero movie and said she ‘feels old.’

She played the role of the foul-mouthed Hit-Girl when she was 12 and starred alongside Nicolas Cage and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

She shared a montage of pH๏τos and clips from the film as well as working behind-the-scenes with her co-stars on set and during their press tour during the movie premiere at the time.

In her caption, the Carrie star — who recently showed off the mᴀssive sparkler now adorning her ring finger as she seemingly confirmed her rumored engagement to Kate Harrison last month — wrote: ‘Kick-ᴀss premiered 15 years ago today — feeling old!’

In the first movie, which was directed by Matthew Vaughn, she took on the role as a child actor alongside the rest of the A-list adult actors.

She went on to star in the 2013 sequel, reprising her role as a then-15-year-old teenager, during the same time Jim Carrey joined the ensemble cast.

Several years later, Moretz sugested that she was displeased with how the sequlel turned out while making an appearance at the Provincetown Film Festival in 2018, per IndieWire.

‘I love the franchise,’ she said at the time when asked if she would be down for a third movie. ‘I think the first movie was really, really special.’

She continued: ‘I wish the second one had been handled in a little bit of a different way.’

Without giving spoilers, she confessed that she was disappointed with the ending.

‘Because I think we were all kind of looking forward to something a little different than what happened with it all,’ she said.

Moretz added: ‘As much as I love the character of Hit-Girl, I think she lives and survives in Kick-ᴀss, and I kind of want to keep her there. 

‘I kinda wanna keep everyone’s mind in Kick-ᴀss. So I don’t think there will be a Kick-ᴀss 3, at least I don’t think with Hit-Girl in it.’

In 2022, the young star opened up about how starring in Kick-ᴀss changed her life and propelled her to mainstream fame as just a pre-teen. 

‘After Kick-ᴀss, the first time I experienced paparazzi, it was 10 to 15 adult guys surrounding a 12-year-old girl,’ she recalled in an interview with Hunger in 2022. 

‘They pushed my mom and she ended up falling into traffic — she didn’t get hurt, but the situation was really chaotic.’ 

She continued: ‘It’s an ᴀssault on all the senses, with screaming and flashes. I got into the car afterwards and I just burst into tears.

‘I think that’s my marker of before and after,’ she said.
