Though it is such a shame to see Theo James and Shailene Woodley not dating in real life, the two have a definite chemistry on the films “Divergent” and “Insurgent.” Now that they are shooting the movie’s two-part third film of a trilogy officially titled “Divergent: Allegiant,” Theo shared how excited he is to be working with Shailene again.
Theo and Shailene have to act out a a couple of sex scenes in the third movie that had the actor feeling awkward at some point.
For her part, Shailene was a bit comfortable with the sex scenes since she is already at home with Theo, confident that she is in good hands. She has also shot some bed scenes in some of her previous movies.
A Divergent
In the first installment, Tris was dumbfounded when she realized how hard it is to be a member of a different faction, the Dauntless. The Dauntless is a fearless faction who protects the dystopian Chicago from harm. Coming from the humble and selfless faction, Abnegation, Tris found it hard to fit in at first.
It became a bigger challenge for her when she found out she was more an outcast than she thought she was. During the personality tests, she was informed that she was a Divergent, a rare case of having more than one compatible personality amongst the four factions: Abnegation (selfless), Candor (honest), Erudite (intelligent) and Dauntless (brave).
Being one of the mentors, Theo steps in as this righteous character, Four. The two helped each other out after learning that they were both Divergents. Together with Tris’ family and friends, the two were able to save the dystopia from Erudites who were trying to eliminate the Abnegation faction.
Eventually, Four and Tris developed a deep relationship in the first film. It was also featured that Tris was a virgin and it was one of her fears that Four would take over her. In the next movie, the two will overcame such inhibition.
Speaking with E! News, Theo said that it was extremely awkward to film the bed scene because Shailene had to be completely naked in front of him and vice versa. He said in shooting sex scenes, booze can definitely help. But since the movie is going to be PG-13, it is fairly decent.
Still, this was a challenge for him because they still have to be naked for most parts while the crew shoots them still. Theo said that the production would need to do some tweaking and they would have to stand there and do nothing. Theo said he was impressed by how mature Shailene handled the situation. Though, there were some inappropriate jokes between the co-actors regarding who has the bigger rack.
On a more serious note, Theo said his relationship with Shailene has gotten deeper during the second film. He said that she has changed a lot, but in a good way. When Theo first met Shailene, she looked and acted like a newbie. Now that Shailene has multiple projects to add to her credentials, she has really grown into a woman.
