Chloë Grace Moretz was born to a cosmetic surgeon and nurse and grew up with four older brothers in Cartersville , Georgia . When her brother Trevor was accepted into an acting school in New York City in 2001, she followed him there with her mother. Her brother's acting classes quickly piqued her interest, so she helped him practice lines and he taught her some acting techniques. When Moretz saw how much they liked this, the family decided to go to some auditions to see if they could apply their skills professionally.
