Here’s a crash-course on all (well, some) things Shailene Woodley: she’s the star of Divergent, a confusing-sounding movie that Gamma Squad had to explain; you probably know her from The Descendents and The Spectacular Now; she was trapped on a bad TV show, The Secret Life of the American Teenager; and she’s into hippie, own-toothpaste-making nonsense. That’s the SparkNotes version. But you might want to do some more studying, a.k.a typing “shalenne woodleys” into Google and hoping her name AutoCorrects. Woodley has a good chance to become the Internet’s next obsession, on a level not seen since an entire cottage industry was built around Jennifer Lawrence GIFs. Here are a few reasons why.
1. She’s the star of a cinematic adaption of a YA book that adults enjoy, like Jennifer Lawrence.
2. She’s more than happy to throw shade at Twilight (“Twilight, I’m sorry, is about a very unhealthy, toxic relationship. She falls in love with this guy and the second he leaves her, her life is over and she’s going to kill herself! What message are we sending to young people?”), like Jennifer Lawrence.
3. She was stuck on a dumb TV show for far too long, like Jennifer Lawrence.
4. She’s charmingly awkward, like Jennifer Lawrence.
5. She’s willing to do nude scenes, like Jennifer Lawrence (hopefully).
6. She’s enthusiastic to receive even the least significant of awards, like Jennifer Lawrence.
7. She gives disgusting interviews that people find adorable, like Jennifer Lawrence.
8. She was on The O.C., unlike Jennifer Lawrence but it’s still an important factoid.
9. She’s down with sex tapes, like Jennifer Lawrence (because J-Law told her to make one).
10. Also, she’s really pretty, like Jennifer Lawrence.
