So, Is Shailene Woodley The New Jennifer Lawrence Or Not?

Shailene Woodley is rightly being hailed as Hollywood’s newest darling – with roles in two high-profile young adult flicks this year, she seems to be doing a Jennifer Lawrence on us all. Divergent comes out later this month in the US – on the 21st, while UK audiences will have to wait until April 4th.

“She really is very, very self-sufficient and is her own kind of warrior in terms of she wanted to do her stunts herself,” producer Lucy Fisher said. “She has a huge amount of inner strength. … She’s very mature beyond her age, as is Tris.”

That’s probably why Woodley is so adept at fielding questions about her love life as well. When talking to Teen Vogue, the young actress kept the focus solely on her work. She shut down any questions about her love life with the confession that she hasn’t had a boyfriend in five years. No on-set hookups either – it’s all about her career right now, she told the magazine.

Starring in Divergent meant that Woodley had to hold her own against established actors like Kate Winslet.

"I haven't had time to think about a relationship! I literally have not had a boyfriend in almost five years. I've never even hooked up with anybody I've worked on a movie with."

All that work is about to pay off, as Divergent is expected to draw audiences of Hunger Games proportions and effectively kick off blockbuster season 2014.
