Hey guys, welcome back to
Think Tank, Hannah and John here.
Today, we are talking about
Chloe Grace Moretz.
I want to talk about something that
she said in L Magazine and
then I want to talk about it
in a broader context.
So let's jump in.
This is a picture of
Chloe Grace Moretz, if you didn't
know what she looked like.
>> From my personal collection.
>> [LAUGH] She recently
had an interview with L Magazine
where she was talking about wanting
plastic surgery when she was 16.
Now, she's 19 now,
so she's had three years
to become older and much wiser.
She said, 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.
And my mom said, absolutely not,
you're not allowed to have
plastic surgery.
And because of that, I found a lot
of power within my insecurities.
They're what make me who I am now.
>> What's the fat pad under
your chin?
>> I don't know.
She felt like she had that.
>> She wanted a butt reduction?
>> Now. >> For a 16 year old?
>> Then she continued on.
>> I guess I didn't look at
her butt enough
when she was growing up.
>> Well I think that.
No, but I think that- >> I
don't remember looking at her,
being like, goddamn,
look at that giant butt!
>> No, I think that's important,
b ecause a lot of girls, and
men included, look at the bodies
that are represented in Hollywood
and the media, in general, and
they got bogy dismorphia.
>> Okay. >> And they think
of all these different
things of how they could fix it.
>> Agreed. >> And
try to fit this idealistic body.
But she wants to break it down and
get rid of some of those
crazy idealistic
body ideals that women have.
She says, I want to to break
it down for young women so
they understand that you're not
just born like this.
Yes, I have had hair extensions.
Yes, the reason I
have this body is because I work
out seven times a week.
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> Yes,
I eat really clean.
There's nothing wrong with being
confident.
>> I'm not criticizing her.
>> Let me finish.
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.
I think this is so, so important.
First of all, I'm
gonna address something you said.
I think we do not support enough
women and enough people,
in general, talking themselves up.
>> I said she was confident.
>> But I think anybody, but
we joke about that.
>> I would joke about it if it
was anybody.
>> If I came into work today and
I was like,
I look really pretty today.
You would make fun of me, right?
>> Yeah.
>> We need more people-
>> If Tim Collins came in and
said, I fucking worked for this.
[LAUGH] >> [LAUGH] >> I'd be like,
shut the fuck up.
[LAUGH] >> But
that's my whole point,
is that we need to stop that, and
have more people feel confident to
say what they're good at,
instead of- >> But wait, wait.
>> No, no, no, here's the thing.
No, no, no, let me finish.
Here is the thing.
If I came in and
said I hate my hair today or
I'm feeling fat today, you wouldn't
have the same reaction.
>> No, I would still laugh at you.
>> That we have
much more acceptance for
when people hate on themselves than
when people build them up.
>> Yes, I agree. >> Which
is not okay.
But- >> She said though
that because of her insecurities
she developed strength.
Right. >> If I give people more
insecurities, they will then
develop more strength.
>> I think what we should do-
>> Do you want weak people?
>> [LAUGH] I think this is really
important, cuz-
>> I'm not disagreeing with her.
>> I'm guilty of this too, and
I look at Instagram pictures and
I look at people on TV.
I'm like, I should change this,
I wanna change this,
I wanna change that and
it's just not realistic.
Especially famous people, who are
rich and have all the resources in
the world, first of all, filters.
Second of all,
they can buy- >> Photoshopping.
>> Yeah, Photoshopping,
personal trainers, food, everything
that allows them, [CROSSTALK] hair
extensions, and I just- >> I think
young women should not be on the.
>> Okay, no. >> Cuz Instagram
is designed to ruin them.
>> But that's what I wanted,
I realize even when- >> Also,
you mentioned it.
>> I'm a confident young woman.
I'm confident in what I have going
on, but at the same time,
I'll be real, I do workout,
I work out seven days a week,
I eat a primarily plant based diet.
My eyelashes are fake,
this hair color is fake.
You know what I mean?
It's all- >> What? >> This
skin color is fake.
>> You have a contract, Missy,
you just broke it.
>> This skin color is fake.
Do you know what I mean?
It's all fake.
I had one Instagram photo
that I posted, and some girl asked
me what skin care products I use,
cuz my skin looks clear.
>> She doesn't even know that's not
your actual skin.
It's hobo skin.
>> That's my whole point.
>> It's a hobo skin.
But she goes- >> That's
my hobo point.
>> She goes what's your
skin care routine, because your
skin looks really great.
I didn't reply.
>> See you have no idea.
>> I should have,
because like the thing is,
you know why my skin looks so good,
is because I used Facetune and
I wear a lot of makeup.
>> What is Facetune?
>> A thing that
blurs your fucking acne.
Because I have zits all up in here
and all up in here but
I am embarrassed to show that and
so I just go a quick smooth over,
I put a little filter.
>> What's it called?
Facetune? >> Yeah,
I wear a ton of makeup.
That is why it looks like that.
It's all fake and it's not- >> And,
it's not just girls.
Some guys, for their dick pics,
they Dicktune, which smooths out
the veins and the hair and
if there's not enough body in
the hair, it will add some bounce.
>> I'm trying to have
a serious conversation.
>> There's a lot of balance,
basically. I know, I agree.
>> I think it's really important.
>> I know, I don't have any
problem with what she's saying.
I think it sucks that at 16,
she felt she needed to shave off or
add on to every part of
her body when she hadn't even
finished growing yet.
>> At any age, you shouldn't
feel that way.
>> No, but especially 16,
she hasn't started growing.
When she was 16,
by the way, everybody has known
since she was 12 that she was gonna
end up being beautiful.
At 16, every 16 year old boy in
the country was lusting after her
and even she felt that she had to
change every part of her
body to be pretty.
>> Yeah. >> Imagine how regular
girls feel signing onto Instagram
and everybody's on the deck of a
boat in the Caribbean at all times
and everybody's at the gym taking
ab shots, and everybody's perfect.
>> It's just all so flipping fake.
It's so flipping fake and I'm sick
of it but I get pulled into it too.
>> Sometimes when I take pictures
of my dog,
I will tune it afterward and post.
[LAUGH]
>> It's not a joke, God damn.
>> I care about how dogs feel.
>> Mm-hm. >> No, it's because I
agree with you,
and I obviously agree with you.
That's why I can then make jokes.
>> Okay, thank you for sharing.
>> We do joke sharing.
>> But I just think this is
important, and I want people
to feel more confident in who they
are, and how they were born.
>> Yeah.
>> I'm not gonna go off
on a tangent.
I was closing it, but
then I'm going off tangent now,
because I was moderating a panel
this weekend at and
Julia Nunes was on the panel.
She said something
really powerful that stuck with me.
It was, the thing that you're
the most insecure about,
maybe your mouth is funny or
your teeth are whack or
your nose or whatever it may be,
there's somebody out
there who thinks that's the hottest
part of your body.
Do you know what I mean?
We've done videos about
that before,
the things that you think are ugly
on yourself, some people are really
attracted to and love that.
I want people to remember that.
Do you know what I mean?
>> I agree. >> I'll be honest, I am
very self conscious about my legs.
But I have been with people-
>> What's bad about your legs?
>> I'm not going to go into detail.
I am very
self-conscious of my legs.
>> That's three.
>> And I have dated people who
thought my legs were the best part
of my body.
So, it's good to know that even
the thing that you guys are maybe
really insecure about it or
feel really bad about it and
want to change, somebody out there
thinks it's super, super hot, so
just remember that.
>> Agreed.
>> Don't change,
just love yourself.
>> Yes.
>> I just got very
emotional >> Chloe got it all
worked out, she's beautiful.
>> All right, guys,
we'll see you soon.
