For Divergent sex-symbol Shailene Woodley, every movie she's in seems to present an opportunity for an onscreen make out scene at the very least, and her new New York Times New Year's video is no different. To be fair to Shai -- the theme of the shoot, which featured Jack O'Connell, was romantic movie kisses and paired stars like Rosario Dawson and Jenny Slate or Benedict Cumberbatch and Reese Witherspoon. Unfortunately, for Woodley's Insurgent boyfriend, Theo James, he seemingly wasn't invited to smooch with any of rising Hollywood stars, but cast co-star Miles Teller does seemingly ruin Gugu Mbatha-Raw's wedding to an unseen groom. Looks like Theo, who is dating longtime girlfriend, Ruth Kearney, despite a resurgence of Woodley dating rumors, will have to content himself with the other dozen or so times he got to make out with Shailene on camera.
When you think about the fact that Shailene Woodley has lost her virginity is the last four of her five movies, the New Year's inspired peck she shares with Jack O'Connell probably felt like child's play.
The new video is one of nine recently released by the New York Times in celebration of Hollywood's versatile stars and the magic of movie romances:
"[They] capture a moment before, during or after each kiss, an instant of anticipation, surprise, relief or puzzlement.
"They bring together actors who enchanted us with their dignity, intensity, toughness and humor, and who have played a staggering array of characters.
"The pairings were part luck, part mischief and wholly inspired -- every one a reminder of what movie love can be."
While Shailene's Insurgent love interest, Theo James is not featured in any of the videos, he did recently talk about the difficulties of trying to keep a love story from being drowned in a big budget action movie (via KPopStarz):
"There's real stakes behind it, and sometimes that's hard to find in spectacular situations.
"If you're watching these movies that are spectacles, which are fun and it's about this thing and escapism, sometimes the crux of the emotionality gets lost."
No wonder the New York Times didn't invite that party pooper to their love in.
