For our latest In Profile<\/em><\/a>, we talk to Kick Ass 2<\/em> star Ella Purnell on superpowers, pranks, and stylish BFF Chloe Moretz<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"EllaPurnellInProfile1\"<\/p>\n

Style icon?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love what Chloe Moretz<\/a> wears, she\u2019s one of my very good friends and every time I see her she just looks so like\u2026neat. She always wears really cool skirts and trousers that are like rolled up at the end. She\u2019s just really well put together — she takes a lot of care into what she wears, which I think is important. But then she\u2019s also one of my very good friends, which does make me kinda biased. I love what Keira Knightley<\/a> wears as well, she\u2019s got such a particular figure, but is also quite tall so she can get away with these big shapes, like she can wear really tight leggings then wear a really baggy cardigan and she can do the leather trousers..she\u2019s got a cool style I like it.<\/p>\n

Other hobbies?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do a lot of music — I sing, I play piano and I write music as well — I\u2019d say that\u2019s my biggest one<\/p>\n

Best present?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I did my first film my friends all chipped in together and bought me an iPod, and they engraved it on the back and wrote “Ella we all love you good luck on your movie” and it was just really lovely.<\/p>\n

Superpower of choice?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I change my mind about this all the time. I think it might be fun to be invisible. Pranking people\u2026the stuff I could do to my three younger brothers, payback for everything they\u2019ve put me through! Or flying, flying would be fun.<\/p>\n

Wow. What\u2019s the best prank they\u2019ve ever pulled on you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My brother once woke me up by opening up my eyelids and spraying water into my eyes with a water gun, and I can tell you I wear contact lenses. Thankfully I remembered to take them out before going to bed — luckily — but when you wake up and you have poor vision already and you have water in your eyes and you can\u2019t see… it can be quite stressful as I thought I\u2019d gone blind. It was about five in the morning and you could just hear me screaming, and my brother on the floor, laughing hysterically.<\/p>\n

\"EllaPurnellInProfile2\"<\/p>\n

Most stylish character played?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Probably my part in Kick Ass 2<\/em>. I mean all the other parts I played — I was quite grungy in one, which was cool but I had so much eye-liner I looked like a panda and I put a green streak in my hair and ripped up jeans and a big baggy t-shirt, etc. But in Kick Ass<\/em> they put me in short skirts and kind of American pretty — and I\u2019ve never played a pretty character so it was fun to be dressed up in pink and stuff.<\/p>\n

If you were a superhero where would your hideout be a-la super man\u2019s fortress of solitude?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is quite a particular answer. You know in Old Street they have those two trains by the billboard? I was driving past and I saw a guy smoking like on top of the train so that is where I\u2019d have it — it\u2019d be inside of a train, I\u2019d want it somewhere quite high up so I can watch things, ’cause no-one thinks to look up do they? Somewhere high up.<\/p>\n

Biggest pet peeve?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I\u2019m speaking and people \u201csshh\u201d me, that upsets me. My brothers do it so much. I\u2019ll be saying something and they\u2019ll go \u2018Sh!\u2019, and it goes with the hand gesture as well, it makes me want to strangle them. I also don\u2019t like sharing forks or cutlery, or taking food off my plate. I don\u2019t like when people take food off my plate, like if you want that food you could order that, it’s my food. Like if I offer it it’s fine, but don\u2019t take it without asking — it’s food, its important to me!<\/p>\n

All time to co-star with male\/female?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marilyn Monroe and Elvis. If you co-star with Marilyn Monroe and Elvis you\u2019re pretty much set. Also because there\u2019s so much hype about them I just would want to know what they\u2019d actually be like. I\u2019d wanna get to know them. You know, like having Elvis on Facebook, or Marilyn on your phone hahaha.<\/p>\n

Embarrassing style choice from years before?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t even like 4-5 years ago, that\u2019s how embarrassing it is, it was from about 2 years ago I used to wear these hand warmers — but like the little ones so there black and kinda goth-y, and I used to wear them everywhere. I used to wear black beanies and just wear them indoors even on a hot summer’s day. I don\u2019t even know why I wore them besides I thought they looked cool. So<\/em> embarrassing. You know when you see kids who try to colour coordinate everything? That was me too. I used to have clips in my hair that\u2019d have little bows on them, and they\u2019d be green-purple-green-purple-green-purple going all the way to the back of my head. Also pink and brown, which is also a great color combination (laughs).<\/p>\n

Three wishes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

People always go world peace, end poverty, so pretending that isn\u2019t an option, pretending war doesn\u2019t exist. I\u2019d wish I won the lottery, I think everyone\u2019s gotta wish that. I\u2019d wish that I owned an ostrich because my grandma rode an ostrich when she went to Australia, so I think if I owned an ostrich I\u2019d be able to ride it to work everyday. And my third would be lifetime good health for friends and family\u2026and myself (laughs).<\/p>\n
