As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the fictional worlds of video games, I can’t help but draw parallels between my virtual adventures and the real-life journey of Shailene Woodley. Her account of Kate Winslet’s impact on her life echoes the role of mentors or non-playable characters (NPCs) in games, guiding us through our quests and helping us overcome obstacles.
Shailene Woodley paused to express admiration for her co-star in “Divergent,” the esteemed Kate Winslet, and how she’s profoundly influenced Shailene’s life.
On Thursdays appearance at The Drew Barrymore Show, the trio of women, or as they are known, the stars of Three Women, dropped by to discuss Woodley’s ongoing show on Starz. During their chat, Woodley expressed her gratitude for having individuals appear in her life with genuine and sincere intentions, and among them is Winslet.
In the movies Divergent and its sequel Insurgent, the actresses shared screen time with one another. During these films, Shailene Woodley played Tris while Kate Winslet assumed the character of Jeanine. When a talk show host inquired if Woodley had acted as a source of advice for her, Woodley mentioned that their relationship went beyond simple consultation.
The Big Little Lies star described her as very authentic, saying ‘She’s incredibly genuine, if I may avoid repetition.’ She stays true to herself and isn’t shy about being who she is, and it’s evident that she has put in a lot of effort.
Later on, Drew Barrymore discussed a statement made by Winslet about regretting not speaking up more following her role in Titanic, as men frequently criticized her body shape and size afterwards. Although The Regime’s actress didn’t defend herself back then, Woodley highlighted that she did advocate for Winslet instead.
In “The Fault in Our Stars,” the actress remembered that they collaborated together. At that time, she was 21 years old. She was constantly bombarded with expectations about how she should appear or behave, such as being told to alter her look, dietary habits, or hair color. However, Winslet intervened by gently yet firmly shaking her out of this mentality, providing her with a refreshing change of perspective.
She firmly stated, ‘Absolutely not, that’s not your true self,’ and in that instant, she offered me a revelation.” I can confidently say that I wouldn’t be the person I am today without her influence.
