Shailene Woodley Opens Up About Her Topless Scene

Shailene Woodley Opens Up About Coming of Age, ‘Divergent,’ and the Faults in Our World

So, White Bird in a Blizzard is similar, in some respects, to The Spectacular Now, in that both tackle first love—and sex. Both the sex scenes are very realistically and tastefully done, but you are nude in this film for I believe the first time. Did you have any reservations about that?

The whole thing for me—with life—is truth. Miles Teller told me I have a good bullshit meter, and it’s true. I don’t like falseness. So, when I watch a movie and I see a sex scene and people are watching clothing, I’m like, “That’s bullshit.” That’s not how I have sex in life, so why would we do that onscreen? I think there’s a big difference between being exploitative in a film and accurately conveying the truth of a situation. There were actually a few more scenes in the script where I was supposed to be topless and I sat down with Gregg and said, “I don’t think this necessarily needs to be in there,” and Gregg is so great at telling the truth. For him, it’s not about exploiting actors or making it sexy or daring, it’s about being truthful.
