Moretz, 25, has revealed how a Family Guy-related meme about her body negatively impacted her life.
One particular image of herself in which she is seen entering a hotel after collecting a pizza delivery.
The image later became a meme on social media, with people comparing Moretz’s body to the Family Guy character Legs Go All The Way Up Griffin.
“I’ve actually never really talked about this, but there was one meme that really affected me, of me walking into a hotel with a pizza box in my hand. And this photo got manipulated into a character from Family Guy with the long legs and the short torso, and it was one of the most widespread memes at the time.”
Those around her played down the situation, describing the joke as “funny”.
“Everyone was making fun of my body, and I brought it up with someone, and they were like, ‘Oh, shut the fuck up, it’s funny.' And I just remember sitting there and thinking, my body is being used as a joke, and it’s something that I can’t change about who I am, and it is being posted all over Instagram. It was something so benign as walking into a hotel with leftovers. And to this day, when I see that meme, it’s something very hard for me to overcome."
