The Family Guy meme explained

Chloë Grace Moretz is referring to a photo that was clicked as she entered a hotel with pizza in her hands.

Shortly after, however, the image was turned into a scene featured on Fox’s hit comedy series Family Guy.

A character based on Moretz’s image was introduced in the show’s tenth season. He was included in an episode titled Amish Guy.

Said character is called Legs Go All The Way Up Griffin and is a great-aunt of the protagonist Peter Griffin. Seth McFarlane voiced the character.

However, it was the character’s exaggerated body proportions that caught the attention of viewers. As the name suggests, she had long legs but a short torso.

Subsequently, the character soon became a meme on social networks.

Chloë Grace Moretz opened up about the viral meme during an interview with Hunger magazine. It was published on September 20.

She revealed, “Everyone was making fun of my body and I mentioned it to someone and they were like, ‘Oh shut up, it’s funny.'”

Additionally, the 500 Days of Summer actress mentioned, “I just remember sitting there and thinking, my body is being used as a joke and it’s something I can’t change about who I am.” She is posting all over Instagram.

She continued: ‘It was something as benign as walking into a hotel with leftovers. And to this day, when I see that meme, it’s a very hard thing for me to get over.

Additionally, the 25-year-old star stated, “It took a layer of something I used to enjoy, which was dressing up and going on a rug and taking a picture, and it made me feel very self-conscious.”
