Chloe Grace Moretz on Straight Actors Playing LGBTQ+ Characters

[@EstherJMR]

Chloë totally avoided the question but also wouldn't call herself a 'straight actor' so I won't complain.

[@gilferreira2042]

omg you translated so well my thoughts

[@EstherJMR]

@Eric Liestoh she kinda did man, in a totally legitimate fashion that is. And I'm only saying that she wouldn't call herself a straight actor in that moment. She chose to keep her answer outside her own experience for some reason.. But don't get me wrong; I'm all good with that. The media is shit anyways.

SHE HAS A GIRLFRIEND I'M HAVING A STROKE. i came here after finding out this just to hear her response again but this time KNOWING

[@PenguinsAreColdish]

Eric Liestoh it's literally her girlfriend it's been confirmed lol why are you so upset

[@LittleLea141]

innerbloom he probably got dumped by a girl who realized shes gay thats why hes so pressed lmao

[@aleksandrazlatanovic3361]

aaaaand now Chloe is dating a woman, what a wonderful time

[@divinghere3380]

To be alive (:

[@i.1213]

Aleksandra Zlatanovic “date”? She was just caught one night smooching with a “playboy model”, so...

[@enianggraini2408]

Nothing confirmed about that dating

@thereal finalgirl doesn’t mean anything

[@チャムちゃん-s7p]

[@Cristian-yv2xf]

It’s a damn shame this movie did not get a lot of publicity like “boy erased.” It’s a great film.

[@spazdude1]

The book was much better. The movie left out a lot of her growing up and discovering herself prior to going to the camp.

[@underratedcritic1983]

I agree this is a great film. But objectively speaking, Boy Erased has a more famous director, a massive budget, and Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe as headlining stars. Regardless, I'm glad to live in a time when LGBT cinema is easily accessible.

[@ArcticFalcon]

I come back to this after I saw a pic of Kate Harrison and Chloe kissing

[@nellisouki5407]

Oh same

[@hoangkimthune]

Kkk, and now she's not straight, she's in gay relationship 😂😂😂

[@StormCentral1998]

now she came out gay

[@HMCZ16]

I see Chloe grace moretz’s media training has gone well totally avoided that question.

[@kathi6658]

I like your profile pic :)

[@HMCZ16]

pug thanks :)

[@gengarvenom1180]

She didn't avoid the question. She very clearly said that straight actors shouldn't be stopped from playing LGBT characters.

[@FruityHachi]

chloe basically said she’s not straight but doesn’t want to pick some label, doesn’t want to get praise by coming out and wants people to value her for her acting skills

[@RaylanLed]

I think people are misunderstanding what people mean when they talk about straight actors not playing gay roles. I haven't seen anyone say they shouldn't full stop. The issue is gay people struggling to find roles and straight actors always playing these big gay roles and getting awards and praise for it. I can't think of any big gig gay roles played by gay actors. There needs to be more gay people in gay roles.

[@kalingazzz]

Leilabeth Ledford ummm Amber Heard? That girl in Westworld. I think it just have to do with appearance. That is hollywood. Do you know any bi and stunning actresses who are struggling to get gigs? I bet Chloe wouldn't struggle to find roles even though everyone must know that she isn't straight

[@rodolfo_oliva]

That doesn't make sense. Why would they be interested in hiring a gay person to do a gay character. They cast actors depending on how talented they are, not their sexual orentation. There are also gay people playing straight roles, so i don't know what you're complaining about.

[@susanq6030]

If they struggle to find roles then it’s because they suck at acting. You seem to forget that that’s an option.

[@iamawesomeprods]

Neil patrick harris played a whole womanizer, I agree tho that hollywood needs to stop putting people in boxes. My acting teacher is the "gayest" man I know, he does drag in a full beard, but he plays a straight man like it's nobody business!

[@cvdeiana]

It's a bit ignorant to simply suggest that there should be more gay people in gay roles unless of course there is some form of discrimination against gay actors in the industry, which may well be the case and you would have to find some kind of evidence of this, you can't just assume. Ultimately however I believe that the best actor should be chosen for the part regardless of their sexuality. At the end of the day it's a job and no one should be judged on their sexuality when recruiting for a job as this would clearly be sexual discrimination. Whether it's a straight person playing a gay role or a gay person playing a straight role, someone's sexuality shouldn't have anything to do with it period. Actually if you think about it, if gay people were to receive extra help to receive these roles over straight people then it would be unfair on straight people, it would be inequality.

[@mfrog]

Actors' sexualities shouldnt have to align with their characters' sexualities. It's ACTING, LGBT actors shouldnt be forbidden from playing straight characters, and vise versa. Do you expect casting directors to ask the sexuality of their actors before casting them? Do you realize the irony in that?

[@PenguinsAreColdish]

who are u talking to

[@susanq6030]

Mm idk. If I were ever watching a movie where like Frankie grande was playing a straight guy, I’d walk out.

[@bloobeyond]

Chloe is very mature for her age. Always has been. Kudos!!! She’s a brave one.

[@No-jf2st]

i think there’s a huge distinction between straight actors playing gay people and cis people playing trans people and we need to talk about that lmao

[@No-jf2st]

i have no problem as a queer woman with straight people playing gay characters tbh

[@lucas_701]

Why? Bc u think its worse for trans actors, its exactly the same, it shouldnt be.. 🙄

[@tilda4699]

i feel like straight actors should be able to play gay characters and vice versa. it’s acting, that’s the point

[@eelisa72]

Vuyolwethu Mtyapa why aren’t they getting the roles? Are you insinuating that they aren’t getting roles because they are gay? Because if so that would be illegal (at least in the US). Maybe they don’t get roles because they aren’t good enough for the part or don’t have enough star power behind them to be casted in big films.

[@i.1213]

Vuyolwethu Mtyapa That’s not totally true. Some names of homosexual actors playing also straight characters already come to my mind: Sarah Paulson, Portia De Rossi, Matt Bomer, Ben Winshaw.

[@alexlannister950]

But u have to understand that LGBTQ+ dont get the same opportunities than straight actors. But i dont have a problem with straight actors playing LGBTQ+ characters

[@underratedcritic1983]

Gay and bi actors get to play straight characters, so yeah, it's totally cool.

[@isa382]

yeah i don’t agree w only gay actors playing gay characters like i’m seeing most people do. when you put an emphasis on this topic, actors like lee pace start getting outed and it isn’t fair to them. we should be more worried about our stories being told respectively, and by individuals who actually understand our experiences as lgbt+ people. i think it’s way more important that the director, desiree akhavan, identifies as queer that way the story is actually authentic.

[@lovesspinachmorethanpopeye]

1:34 she really said "don't assume I'm straight"

[@JohnnyJoe]

Being an actor / actress is not about playing yourself, it's about playing someone else. Only gay actors being allowed to play gay characters is absolutely ridiculous. Nobody ever mentions what would happen if the actor chooses to remain in the closet, play no roles? Not act until they are forced to out themselves?

[@camiic4843]

this video aged so well, just coming back to laugh at all the comments saying she was straight ♥

[@nellisouki5407]

I don't wanna label her in any way because I wouldn't like if other people just assumed that I'm something I'm not, But.... I swear if she's gay or bi or pan or anything in that area, I'm gonna celebrate

Of course straight actors can play gay roles 😒 Imagine, if you will, you're casting a movie where the lead role is a cop. Does this mean you can only cast a policeman in the role?

Those two are not straight. Thay scream feminist lesbian.

[@Cameron170]

The annoying part is that gay people only every play gay people when they’re the bitchy receptionist. But when it comes to actual love they need straight people to act that out, even when it’s gay love.

[@spazdude1]

If I know a actor is straight and specifically if she has a husband/boyfriend I just cant buy her acting gay in a show/movie.

Its not confirmed as anything with the model she has been seen with.

I really disliked this movie, it was good but it was not the book at all, I felt like it was oversexualised but the book was a lot more innocent,

[@spazdude1]

lol you did not read the book because if you had you see she had sex a lot more then they showed in the movie and with 3 girls. Also the part were the roommate wakes her up and has sex with her was in the book and the dialog was exactly from the book.

[@GeneralRania]

I didn't feel that way at all. It definitely made me feel some type of way, but that's cuz I got introspective and had some memory flashbacks. As for the scenes themselves, definitely more sensual than gratuitously sexual.

the book was much less innocent
