There have been reports last week that “Divergent” movie series lead stars Theo James and Shailene Woodley were dating as rumors started swirling around that the two actors have taken their on-cam chemistry in real life.
It eventually turned out that the rumors were untrue because British actor Theo James already has a girlfriend in Ruth Kearney. The reports also came with a new round or rumors stating that Theo and Ruth are shopping for engagement rings and that Ruth was already pregnant, which the couple later denied.
The latest rumors on the issue is that Ruth is said to be getting jealous of Shailene Woodley because during a recent interview, Theo James was quoted as saying that he has a thing for legs and that he really likes Shailene’s legs.
Another angle
That statement obviously sets off the rumor mills with jealousy as a focal point. However, there is another angle to the jealousy report as detailed by KpopStarz.
Apparently, it is Theo James who is jealous of Shailene Woodley because she is spending more time with her rumored boyfriend Nahko Bear these days.
However, it seems unlikely because Theo James is said to be a very busy actor these days. Aside from the filming of the two-part third movie of the “Divergent” series titled “Divergent: Allegiant,” the actor is said be preparing to take on a new role in the upcoming movie “Underworld 5” starring Kate Beckinsale, who starred in the first two movies.
If any, Theo James may be a little envious, and not jealous, of Shailene Woodley’s relationship with Nahko Bear because the two have been very open about their affair while he and Ruth like to keep things under wraps. Most often, only the rumors send Theo and Ruth and their relationship to the mainstream.
The actor appears to be putting his relationship with his girlfriend on the line for the filming of the two-part third movie since there will be some hot and sexy scenes between him and Shailene on it. And Ruth will certainly not be excited about the project.
Working chemistry
“Divergent: Allegiant” is reportedly banking on the successful chemistry of lead stars Theo James and Shailene Woodley and the characters they played in the series as Four and Tris, respectively.
The two will be returning again as they enter the Bureau of the Genetic Welfare and find out something about themselves and the kind of world they live in.
It was reported early this month that the movie will be taking on veteran actors Bill Skarsgard and Jeff Daniels to join the cast of “Divergent: Allegiant” and it is likely that the two are good as in since they already have characters to fill in.
Jeff Daniels shall reportedly play the role of David, the leader of the Bureau of Genetic Welfare, which was responsible for the post-apocalyptic faction-based society. Bill Skarsgard on the other hand is rumored to play alongside Jeff Daniel’s character in “Divergent: Allegiant.”
The characters of Daniels and Skarsgard are expected to appear in the two-part third movie of the “Divergent” film series.
The first two movies of the “Divergent” trilogy titled “Divergent” and “Insurgent” were certified blockbusters. When it was shown last year, “Divergent” made a worldwide haul of $338 million at the box office while “Insurgent” grossed $271 million when it was released on worldwide theaters a few months ago.
It is expected that the two-part third movie will also do well at the tills when they are shown one year apart from each other.
Accordingly, the final installment of the movie based on the Veronica Roth’s novel will dwell on Tris as she decodes the mystery behind the creation of the factions. She will eventually learn later on that the Bureau does not necessarily hold everyone’s best interests at heart.
Robert Schwentke will be back as director for the two-part third movie, whose shooting will reportedly begin this month. Noah Oppenheim will be writing the script while Douglas Wick, Pouya Shahbazian and Lucy Fisher will be producing “Divergent: Allegiant Part 1.”
