17-year-old Chloe Grace Moretz is playing another controversial character After shocking many parents with her role in action film Kick Ass

After shocking many parents with her role in action film Kick Ass, 17-year-old Chloe Grace Moretz is playing another controversial character.
Her latest film sees her take on the role of a Russian teen prositute.
Pictures show the Hollywood actress, who stars alongside Denzel Washington, tottering around in huge heels and a tiny dress in one scene, while another shows her sat at a bar stool in a small pair of denim shorts and a full face of make-up.

 

The part of Teri - a Russian call girl and aspiring singer - was originally written for a 24 year old but the young star was keen to take on the role as it portrays the usually "exploited" character of a prostitute in an "unsexualised" way.

When asked how she felt about playing a prostitute, she told MTV: "That's what attracted me to the script. She's a girl who was sexualized by life, but the movie completely unsexualized her.
"You don't see that with a lot of young female characters in general, but especially when you're playing a prostitute, or a lady of the night... It's usually very much exploited."

 

The Kick Ass star also revealed she was inspired after meeting women who had shared the experiences of her character in real life and channelled their "fire" and passion for their dreams into her portrayal.
She explained: "When I met these girls at this organization called The Children Of The Night, that's what I found with them.
"I mean sure, they've done this stuff, they've had this whole life. But what I saw were these beautiful young girls who had so much inside them. They had this fire, and these dreams. It was just so real, and alive."
