For someone who has studied herbalism, eschews silverware, makes her own lipstick, and forages for food, Shailene Woodley is far from being off in her own world. Instead, she is warm and fun and present and self-deprecating. And, OK, a little loopy, but in the most charming way.
Also: She hugs everyone. I got three during our time together—one at first, then two at the end—but she also merrily hugged everyone who came up to us asking for a photo on the streets of New York City's East Village. ("Hi, I'm Shai!" she said to two already hyperventilating teen girls the night before, they'd seen her in Divergent, based on the wildly popular YA book series.) Her energy is unusual—she's hungry for life, for things, for learning and motion and people—and I haven't met anyone quite like her. I'm not the only one who's fallen for this unexpected superstar wearing high-top Converse sneaks, gray skinny jeans, and a leather jacket: Hollywood's clearly swooning.
In addition to appearing in Divergent, the 22-year-old native of Simi Valley, California, starred with George Clooney in The Descendants (earning herself a Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe nom) and now is in what might be this year's most buzzy movie—The Fault in Our Stars, based on John Green's best-selling novel about two teens with cancer who fall in love. Then this fall, she's in the drama White Bird in a Blizzard. Which prompts the question: Do movie stars really have time to go foraging?! Not anymore, really. "But," Shailene says, "I have friends who do, and they send me stuff!"
So, how to reconcile the self-proclaimed "hippie-dippie" with the successful Tinseltown starlet? It's somehow pretty easy. One way: Shailene's worn five-toe running shoes at an awards-show after-party! And that's just the beginning.
