Director of "The Equalizer": "Chloe Grace Moretz Reminds me of a Young Jodie Foster"

Chloe Grace Moretz's impeccable acting and overall great attitude has earned her high praises from the cast and the crew of "The Equalizer".

Director of the movie Antoine Fuqua noted that during their first meeting, the 16-year-old actress walked into his office and sat on his sofa. Right there and then, he said that Chloe was like a little lady and even reminded him of the young Jodie Foster.

Fuqua added that after a couple of scenes that Denzel Washington, who is also in the movie, had with Chloe, he came up to him saying that it was the right call to cast Chloe. Fuqua noted that it was a first from Denzel to say such.

The director also said that it was amazing how Chloe hit it off from the start with Denzel. They have this chemistry that makes it believable how much help the character of Chloe needs and how much the character of Denzel wants to save the teenager.

In an interview with the cast and crew of the movie, Denzel was also caught praising the star on cam. He said, "She just has it. Whatever it is, she has it."

Chloe plays this teenager who is forced to be a prostitute by a Russian gang. Denzel on the other hand is a former CIA assassin who ended up helping Chloe to get out of her situation.

Aside from that, Chloe was also praised for taking the extra mile just so she can understand her role better. Moretz was said to have visited this organization called "Children of the Night" that helps rescue those who are being forced into prostitution.

She said that there was this one girl who told her she was too skinny to be a sex slave. Because of that, Chloe had to put on an additional six pounds just so she can make her character all the more believable.

The movie will be out in Theatres by September 26.
