Chloe Grace Moretz says 'Family Guy' meme 'used' her body 'as a joke'

Peter Griffin's great aunt, Legs Go All the Way Up Griffin, was a gag enjoyed by more than just "Family Guy" fans, but Chloe Grace Moretz didn't find the joke funny.

In an interview with Hunger magazine, the "Miseducation of Cameron Post" star shared that memes comparing her to the short-lived "Family Guy" character — whose body is nothing more than a pair of long legs under a face and arms — negatively impacted her self-image.

"Everyone was making fun of my body and I brought it up with someone and they were like, 'Oh, shut the f— up, it's funny,'" she told Hunger. "And I just remember sitting there and thinking, my body is being used as a joke and it's something that I can't change about who I am, and it is being posted all over Instagram."
