You would have seen Shailene Woodley, the “Divergent” star, jumping on and off the running trains, doing martial arts, scaling a Ferris wheel and doing a lot more action sequences for her action pack role in “Divergent Series,” but did you ever know, she was suffering from scoliosis, an abnormal lateral curve on the spine and wore a chest to hips plastic braces for around two years?

Now, what did her on-screen lover Theo James has to say? One thing for sure, you will be left with tears if you will find out what he had to say on this.

Can you imagine? Woodley was diagnosed with scoliosis, at the age of fifteen and was wrapped up with braces to keep the curvature from getting worse. According to Health Aim, she used to wear braces for around eighteen hours a day and took it off while going out or during the shooting hours. No need to say, it was her passion that kept her good going all the time.

Theo James, Woodley’s co-star in “Divergent” with whom her name is often linked with, recently revealed that he had all respect for her when he discovered that she was suffering from scoliosis. “Shailene is empowered, she is a strong actress and intuitive. She is not like any other ‘girl’ in the Hollywood sense; he had all praises for her.” Well, we all know how much they care for each other.

James also recalls one incident while they were shooting for the “Divergentseries,” which involved a complex stunt they had to shoot, running along with the train and jumping continuously on and off. Shailene fell down from the running train and hit her head while she was shooting for the film. It hurt her really bad but, she just took a five-minute break, and was ready for the shoot, reports Healthy Celeb. This shows her dedication and hard work.

Theo James and Shailene Woodley are one of the hottest couples from “TheDivergent series,” whom fans always wanted to see as a real life couple in off-screen too. There were a lot of rumors and speculations surrounding their affair and the latest one being Theo’s postponed marriage with long-time girlfriend, Ruth Kearney.
