Chloe Moretz: 'Martin Scorsese is like an uncle'

Chloe Moretz considers film director Martin Scorcese an uncle because he made her feel so at home on the set of 'Hugo Cabret'.

Chloe Moretz sees Martin Scorcese as an uncle.

The 14-year-old actress - who stars in the director's upcoming 'Hugo Cabret' - says she feels so comfortable in the movie heavyweight's presence she feels like he's part of the family.

She explained: "I was so nervous but from the minute I met him in the audition he makes you feel at home, like he's your uncle.

"He loves his actors and he loves what he does and you can see that. I had a delightful time and I'd work with him again in a heartbeat."

The 'Kick-Ass' star also worked with Sir Ben Kingsley and Sir Christopher Lee on the new film and was full of praise for her seasoned co-stars for their talent and historical knowledge.

She said: "Almost all my scenes were with Ben, he's so cool, such a cool guy. Very theatrical. He knows what to do when he gets in front of a camera. He knows how to take the screen over.

"But Sir Christopher Lee and Marty and Ben were like walking history books, they just spew knowledge. I was like, 'I feel so dumb around you!' "
