Chloë Grace Moretz: ‘Squads create exclusivity’

CEBU, Philippines – Chloe Grace Moretz is baring it all.

The 18-year-old is Nylon magazine’s December-January cover girl, appearing decidedly naked on the cover save for a cozy cardigan and dramatic makeup look, but it’s her honesty on everything from politics to “squad goals” that makes her one of Hollywood’s most outspoken and eloquent young stars.

Drawing on her own experience of growing up with two older brothers who struggled with their sexuality, Moretz said, “The problem is we live in a society where we have to say the words, ‘I’m coming out.’ No one should care what your sexual orientation is, what color your skin is, or if you’re a man or a woman.”

This, Moretz says, has inspired her to advocate for human rights, adding, “We shouldn’t be using these terms to create more labels and segregate us further apart than we already are.”

With this in mind, it comes as no surprise that the “5th Wave” star wouldn’t be completely on board with the recent #squadgoals bandwagon that has stars like Taylor Swift, Gigi Hadid and Selena Gomez walking the red carpet hand in hand.

“I agree with having a good core group of friends, but the issue I have with squads is it creates exclusivity,” she explained. “I was never included in those things when I was a kid. I was the weird one that chose to do movies, so now I go out of my way to be nice to people and make them feel included.”

And being a strong, independent woman has always been one of Moretz’s main priorities. The blond beauty says she’s “been a feminist since birth,” and despite the film industry’s often misogynistic tendencies, Moretz has found quite the opposite on the set of upcoming flick “Neighbors 2” with Seth Rogen and Zac Efron.

“If any of the women ever feel there’s something inappropriate, we speak up, and they will never push the boundaries with us—they’ve been really respectful,” Moretz revealed.

As for her political beliefs, this celeb isn’t shy to share that she’ll be voting for Hillary Clinton in the upcoming presidential race, and even has some bold political aspirations of her own.

Moretz joked, “I’m ready, guys, youngest female president ever! I don’t know…maybe not president. I might just be a senator. We’ll see.”
