Chloe Moretz insists she is "a normal kid", despite having spent her childhood on Hollywood film sets and at glamorous premieres.

The 16-year-old actress, who has now spent most of her life working in Hollywood, says that her job has given her opportunities that her friends have not been able to enjoy, such as travelling to exotic locations.

She said: "I think growing up in Hollywood, I've actually had a greater childhood because I've been able to see what I'm learning in my history books, I've been able to go and see around the world, and I've been able to experience it first-hand whereas a lot of my friends have only been able to travel for summer to small locations.

"I've been able to live in London for three years, go to Berlin, go to Bora Bora ... go to all these crazy locations and I'm only 16. So I feel my childhood has honestly been a lot more immense than most."

The 'Kick-Ass 2' star has said she loves getting dressed in haute couture gowns for big red carpet events, and is unfazed by everyday teenager activities like shopping at the mall or going to school dances.

She added: "I've done all that ... I went to the prom, I went to the mall. I've done all that stuff. What I find fun is going to premieres. That's my prom night. I get to dress up and be with the people that support me and talk about the stuff that I love. That's what I love doing.

"I am a normal kid, but what other teenagers look forward to in their year is different from what I look forward to."
