Jennifer Lawrence Influenced Shailene Woodley’s Career

Jennifer Lawrence took three days before accepting the role that would help her gain international fame, and that is for a reason. A role like that of Katniss Everdeen in a movie series that will not stop breaking records changes someone’s life. Therefore, it’s no surprise that Shailene Woodley, who is portraying Beatrice Prior in the upcoming Divergent movie, would turn to our very own Jennifer Lawrence for some piece of advice.

Before I made the movie I did email Jennifer Lawrence and asked her if, after Hunger Games, she would recommend doing something like this,” Woodley says. […] “She said “Yes, absolutely.””

The movie is being adapted from author Veronica Roth’s Divergent trilogy, which is a dystopian series featuring a young female protagonist. You can catch a sneak peek of the film, coming out this March 21st, on the Catching Fire DVD/Blu-ray.

If you were in the same situation as Shailene Woodley, would you have turned to Jennifer Lawrence, too?
