Divergent sexy superstar, Shailene Woodely, may not be interested in dating her Insurgent boyfriend, Theo James, off the set, but he shouldn't take it personally -- the Fault in Our Stars actress isn't interested in most of pop culture's biggest names. According to the latest gossip news updates, George Clooney's Descendants costar doesn't even know who Kim Kardashians little sister, Kylie Jenner, is ,despite Keeping Up with the Kardashians' relevancy hitting parody status on shows like Saturday Night Live and late night monologues. Interestingly, Shailene says she doesn't believe in judging a person by the reputation anyways. The White Bird in a Blizzard starlet explained that she refuses to accept parts that are offered to her based on name recognition alone -- instead opting to only take gigs that she earns through her acting talents.
While most of her 20-year-old peers are either pining to be or be with anyone that even resembles one of the Jenner Sisters, Shailene Woodley has no idea what that even means.
Interested more in designing her own clay based meal plan than hobnobbing with the who's who of Tinsel Town, when recently asked to mug her best "Kylie Jenner selfie face" on the red carpet, Woodley had to admit she really had no idea what was even being asked of her (via Cosmopolitan):
"I have no idea who that is... I'm sorry!"
Shailene recently explained to Contact Music that she really wasn't the kind of person that has their hair blown back by a big name.
In fact, Woodley claims that she refuses to take any of the parts that are coming her way just because she has plenty of name recognition coming off her recent string of big budget blockbusters:
"If I'm being hired simply because my name is a name, that doesn't feel good.
"That's like somebody buying a painting simply because of how much they're told it's worth, versus actually enjoying looking at that painting and feeling inspired by it.''
Shailene went on to explain that she has been working as an actress most of her life and is dedicated to the craft -- not the money and fame:
"'I have the luxury of having been an actor since I was five.
"So I know that nothing comes overnight and that you have to work really hard to be successful.
"I know if I don't work for five or six years, maybe it will be harder for me to get a film, but if I'm not booking films, I will bust my ass at acting class because if I'm still passionate about acting, why wouldn't I want to improve my craft."
Sounds like a welcome change of pace from the look at me now, now, now ethos of Kylie Jenner and the rest of her reality TV clan.
