Empire has posted two new interviews with Chloe, one from the Kick-Ass set (and of which a small clip was recently featured in a behind-the-scenes mini-doc from Empire) and the other from the recent press junket in Berlin.
Check them both out below!
Chloe attended this year’s Empire Film Awards today in London at the Grosvenor House Hotel. You’ll find over 60 photos in the gallery from the event so far.
Empire posted a behind-the-scenes mini-documentary from Kick-Ass, featuring interview and clip snippets from director Matthew Vaughn and cast members Aaron Johnson, Mark Strong, Chloe Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. Empire promises to have more Kick-Ass treats posted soon.

Another UK teaser poster for Kick-Ass has been released and posted on Empire, this time featuring Chloë as Hit-Girl and the tagline, “Cute. Adorable. Deadly.”
Empire also notes that Kick-Ass’s release date in the UK has been pushed up a week to March 26. The US will still have to wait for April 16.
How would you describe Hit-Girl?
She’s a purple, crazy assassin girl! It’s funny; she acts so tough, but underneath everything she’s just this little 11 year-old girl. I was amazed that I got this part. No joke. About a month before I got this script, Wanted came out, with Angelina Jolie, and I was like, “Oh my gosh, Mom, I really want a role just like that – y’know, like, a take-charge action hero.” And when she read Kick-Ass, my mom was like, “Chloe, you’ll never believe this…” I read it and I was like, “I have to be Hit-Girl!”
How much work did you have to do for the role?
When I accepted it, I realised I was going to be doing a lot of action stuff. It was really fun, but at the same time it was insanely hard. I worked for four months, with two months of combat training, learning how to load a gun, take apart a gun, how to clean a gun, how to kick, how to do tumbling, everything. And the last two months of it I spent at the Toronto Circus School! They took me there because they wanted me to get really flexible for the role.
Can you do, for real, any of the things that Hit-Girl does in the movie?
Yes, definitely. Now, I can’t run up a wall, but I can do everything else. It’s pretty awesome. I mean, what I learned on that movie I will probably never forget. But it is a role. It’s not me. In real life, I’ve never cussed. I’d be grounded for a year if I said half the stuff I say in that movie! I like doing roles that are different to me because it stretches my acting ability. I would never want to see that kind of violence in everyday life. I’m a huge chicken. I’m scared of spiders! Y’know, I like romantic comedies. I’m totally a chick-flick girl.
Kick-Ass is released later this year on April 16th. For more on the movie, the March 2010 issue of Empire Magazine is on sale now!
