Chloe Moretz can't be a 'princess'

'Hugo' star Chloe Moretz insists she is not allowed to act like a ''princess'', despite her successful movie career, because her mother keeps her grounded.

Chloe Moretz is not allowed to act like a "princess".

The 14-year-old actress is kept grounded by her upbringing in Georgia and despite her success - appearing in movies such as 'Kick-Ass' and 'Let Me In' - she is stopped from becoming a diva because of her mother.

She said: "Everyone around me is so strict about keeping me grounded. My mother won't let anyone treat me like a princess.

"We're super Southern. If I even uttered a cuss word, I'd be dead. My mom is very strict. I'm a normal 14-year-old girl. Honestly, I don't have the room to go crazy, with four brothers and a mom."

However, Chloe - who is currently starring alongside Jude Law and Sir Ben Kingsley in Martin Scorsese's 'Hugo' - continues to be driven to do better in the film industry by her competitive streak, which forces her to always try for new jobs.

She told The Guardian newspaper: "I'm a very competitive girl. In everything I do. When I've done gymnastics, ballet, or soccer - I was always trying to be the best. I'm really driven. Really driven."
