Online History

"Legs Go All The Way Up" Chloe Grace Moretz Meme

Starting around the year 2015, 4Chan and Reddit users began circulating slightly photoshopped images of Chloë Grace Moretz in order to exaggerate the length of her legs and shorten her torso. A popular image in circulation at the time was a picture of Chloe holding a box of pizza, clicked by the paparazzi in May 2016 (seen below).

The image was soon likened to a character named "Legs Go All The Way Up Griffin" from the TV show Family Guy, and edited to exaggerate the actress's proportion.

In a 2022 interview with Hunger TV, Moretz talked about the negative impacts the memes about her body had on her, to the point where she had to undergo therapy to cope.^[2]
