The actress, who got into the adult film industry as a teenager in 2015, claimed: “He said, 'Everyone says that you’re fat and the fastest way to lose weight is by not eating.'

“He said that to me and I was like, ‘What the f**k?'”

She continued: “He said that to me when I was 18, and it was so f**king freaky because no one in my whole life had ever said that I was fat and then it just became an obsession.” 

Her "obsession" with her weight then turned into a strict diet, and she limited herself to 200 calories a day.

The HBO star claimed to have hid the eating disorder by going through the motions of drinking one green juice a day.

Chloe revealed how she was "just miserable" and was "not treating my body well."

The TV star's image of herself has now changed and she said her "body actually looks better than it ever has my entire f**king life.”

She concluded on the  podcast: “I do not restrict my diet whatsoever. 

"And that’s why I think a lot of people don’t think that I went through an eating disorder because I’m skinnier now than I was even though I was starving myself then.”

EUPHORIA

During the second season of Euphoria, the actress plays Faye, the ditsy girlfriend of one of Fezco's drug-dealer buddies, Custer.

Fay also happens to be a heroin addict, who is way over her head.

Chloe stumbled upon Hollywood when Euphoria showrunner Sam Levinson - the son of Rain Man director Barry Levinson - discovered her page.

In an interview with , she said that the Assassination Nation filmmaker "thought I was funny.

She remembered how the audtion process went: "Then a casting company had me the audition, so I sent in tapes and stuff.

"Then when I went in to do the audition, [Sam] was like, 'Oh, I was hoping it would be good.' And I was, 'Wow, that's incredible.'"

Chloe confessed about being a "huge fan" of the teen drama's first season and gushed about being "absolutely unreal" to work with the ensemble cast.

She continued: "To see it all close up is just so incredible.

"It was just so much talent in one room, so much sense of humor, and just great sense of fashion."

HER CHARACTER

Chloe described Faye as "elusive" as if "someone that the viewer can continue to feel through."

She concluded: "It's an intense thing.

"And I think that we can all relate to her because we've all gone through things and been trying to come out of it.

"And I think that she is relatable in that way, but then also it makes her normal, as non-normal as she is."

Euphoria has been renewed for a third season and is expected to air on HBO sometime in late 2023 or early 2024.

Chloe has filmed about 172 adult movies, according to .

The Euphoria star mentioned on the podcast how she was "born for porn" and admitted feeling "super comfortable."
