That Time Shailene Woodley Movie-Dated All Her Insurgent Costars
Insurgent came out over the weekend, and if you're a fan of Shailene Woodley's movie career, a strange feeling probably crept up on you in one of the opening scenes of the Divergent sequel. It's the one in which her character, Tris, finds herself sharing a meal with her love interest, Four (Theo James); her brother, Caleb (Ansel Elgort); and her nemesis, Peter (Miles Teller). What's strange about this scene is that you realized: wait, each of these actors has played Woodley's love interest before. Though all actors were present in Divergent, this is the first time they all had one scene together, and it's especially weird since Woodley and Elgort made such a memorable pair as young lovers in The Fault in Our Stars. Let's stroll down memory lane to those previous films to really highlight the weirdness.
Shailene Woodley + Ansel Elgort
In the Divergent series, Elgort plays Woodley's brother, Caleb. Here they are being sibling-ly.

And here they are being cuddly in the tearfest The Fault in Our Stars.
Shailene Woodley + Miles Teller
Teller couldn't have less affection for Woodley's character as Peter, her frenemy. Look how they're looking at each other; such distrust, such disdain.

Now look how they're looking at each other in The Spectacular Now, when they play high school seniors who discover each other and fall sweetly in love. They only fight with words in this movie, not their fists (as in Insurgent).

But let's not forget who actually plays Woodley's love interest in the Divergent series: the beautiful Theo James.
Here she is with her boyfriend and brother.
And her boyfriend and enemy.
