Chloe Grace Moretz grew up a fan of Hillary Clinton as her mother was always a supporter. So the 18-year-old Georgia native was more than thrilled to meet the presidential hopeful recently, she told the January/February issue of Modern Luxury Angeleno.

The actress added: ‘I grew up loving her vicariously through my mom. ‘And as I got older, I started looking more into her ideals and her stance on political issues.

‘I’m a big fan of what she stands for….I just wanted to shake her hand, but she sat down with us for 30 minutes.’

The If I Stay star also touched on her love life. She is best known for having dated Brooklyn Beckham in 2014. As far as her career, she has tried to diversify to prove her talent. 

‘A lot of my career, I’ve played specialized women—in Kick-Ass I was a little assassin; in If I Stay I was a premier cellist—but you don’t need a special set of skills to rise above any circumstances. I thought that was something that young women need to see,’ she added.

And her next film, Fifth Waves, is one of her darker roles. ‘It’s an eye-opener for me. It really tested my acting strength and made me go to places I have truly never gone before… I’m in a hospital gown, screaming, going crazy. It was career-changing,’ she allowed.
