Overview
- Woodley, who spoke to Variety on May 21, said Ansel Elgort remains one of her closest friends and called him 'like family.'
- She recalled that they became 'instant siblings' while filming the first Divergent movie and often spent time together off set.
- Woodley said that their real-life closeness helped make The Fault in Our Stars feel tender on screen but made filming intimate scenes awkward at times.
- The pair last acted together in the final Divergent film in 2016 and have stayed close, including a reported trip to Italy in 2022.
- Contemporary coverage repeats Woodley’s remarks while noting that Elgort has kept a lower public profile since about 2021 and previously denied a 2014 allegation; no new allegations or career developments were reported.
