Her busy year shows no sign of letting up as she embarks on a promotional campaign for new film Kick-Ass 2.
So with only a few precious hours away from work Chloe Moretz stepped out for some retail therapy in London on Monday – but anyone expecting to see the young actress frequent some of Bond Street’s finest designer stores were left wanting.
Indeed, while Chloe was in the mood to spend some of her considerable earnings, she did it in the more humble surrounds of designer discount store TK Maxx.

The 16-year-old was spotted leaving a branch of the hugely popular store carrying two bulging bags of clothing early that afternoon during a shopping spree with mother Teri and brother Trevor.
Chloe was dressed casually in a trendy floral print t-shirt, skinny trousers and the same flats she wore when she mobbed by fans in Boston shortly before flying to London over the weekend to attend the Kick-Ass 2 photocall at Claridge's Hotel on on Monday afternoon.
The young star had clearly opted to dress down for her impromptu visit to the store – where she signed autographs for a less frantic group of admirers – after spending much of the morning promoting her new film.

With Kick-Ass 2 just days away from hitting cinemas across the UK, Chloe paid a visit to Capital FM and ITV studios, where she was interviewed by presenter Kate Garraway on breakfast show Lorraine.
Dressed in a stylish patterned blouse and skinny jeans, the actress talked about the need to have her family close by.
‘I keep my family close to me at all times,’ she said. ‘ And even farther than that, I keep the people in my business around me like my publicist, my manager, my agent, I keep those people around me that are good people too, because I feel that besides your family it’s those people who influence you the most in your life.

‘So you need good friends, good company and a good family to keep yourself from flying off the handle which is not too hard to do in this business.’
Chloe also revealed the person she most admires as an actress – her Dark Shadows co-star Michelle Pfieffer.
‘I’ve looked up to Michelle Pfieffer my entire life,’ she admitted. ‘As an action actress I look up to her in films like Catwoman and stuff like that. And she’s just a female empowerment type of woman.

‘She’s just strong and she conducts herself so well, and she has a family and she was flying back to LA every week to see her husband and kids and it shows that you can be a normal sweet person and have a family and have those two lives and be one.’
On Saturday the actress needed a healthy dose of Michelle's strength when she was mobbed by fans shortly after wrapping The Equalizer - a film version of the hit 80's TV show.
The young actress was spotted by autograph hounds leaving her hotel in Boston, where she had been filming.

The young star managed to look chic in a casual ensemble of black skinny jeans, a sheer navy top and leopard print flat shoes.
She was also make-up free and kept her accessories simple but edgy with a pair of oversized leopard-print sunglasses shielding her eyes and a simple silver chain with a pendant dangling loosely over her top.
As she left the hotel she was approached by eager fans, but made sure to sign autographs before being driven off.

The Equalizer is Antoine Fuqua's big screen adaptation of the popular 1980's television series and Chloe plays a prostitute alongside Denzel Washington, a role which she was cast in over many older and more experienced actresses.
On Friday the young starlet tweeted her excitement about her latest project saying, 'so happy to have been apart of #TheEqualizer it meant so much to me to work with Antoine Fugua and Denzel Washington and the entire Sony/Columbia family..
'Thank you all again, to the crew, hair/makeup, driver, everyone thank you for making this such an enjoyable experience I’d give nothing in the world to replace it. Thank you!!!!'
The Equalizer is set to be released in September 2014, while Kick-Ass 2 is expected to hit UK cinemas on August 14.
