Chloe Grace Moretz wanted boob job

Chloe Grace Moretz wanted a boob job when she was 16.

The 19-year-old actress has admitted she was desperate to go under the knife in order to boost her bust three years ago but was talked out of the procedure by her mother, Teri.

Speaking to ELLE.com, she explained: "When I was 16. I wanted a boob job. I wanted the fat pad under my chin to be removed. I wanted a butt reduction, or whatever."

But, although she now feels more confident with her body and looks, she has admitted it takes hard work in the gym and a strict eating plan to ensure she feels in the best form.

She explained: "I have had hair extensions. Yes, the reason I have this body is because I work out seven times a week. Yes, I eat really clean — even though I don’t always want to, and I definitely cheat. But you’re not just born with this."

Meanwhile, the blonde beauty – who shot to fame after appearing in ‘Kick-Ass’ at the age of 12 – insists neither she nor her family would "accept" her going off the rails because she has worked too hard to ruin her reputation.

Asked how she stays grounded, she said recently: "My family have and always will remain my greatest influence and if I ever went down that path, they wouldn’t accept it and I wouldn’t accept it. Plus I’ve worked too hard and I’m coming into this exciting new phase in my career where the roles are developing and diversifying and I’m getting wonderful chances. Why would I throw that away to party or drink or whatever? It would be so foolish and stupid. I’m excited where life is going."
