Oh we do LOVE a celebrity who refuses to stick to the script, and Shailene Woodley is our current ‘she said whaaaat?’ obsession.
The 22-year-old actress is currently on a press tour to promote her new film Divergent. But instead of giving the usual beige interviews, Shailene is, well, saying just what she thinks (which wouldn’t be news if it wasn’t for the fact that she’s basically an amazing free-spirited hippy with no filter).
In a recent (apparently beauty themed) interview for Into The Gloss magazine, Shailene extolled the virtues of sunning your vagina.
“Another thing I like to do is give my vagina a little vitamin D. If you’re feeling depleted, go in the sun for an hour and see how much energy you get. Or, if you live in a place that has heavy winters, when the sun finally comes out, spread your legs and get some sunshine.”
And that’s not all. Shailene also has some pretty interesting thoughts on…
Wearing a bra: “I feel passionate about just shifting our paradigms and stirring things up. I’m wearing a bra now, not like a padded bra, a little sports thing, and I feel like it’s maybe important to start looking at things differently even if you don’t change the way that you do it. I think with that will come a lot of educated knowledge and a lot of curiosity and a lot of positive shift.”
Eating clay: “Clay is one of the best things you can put in your body. One of my friends was making a clay toothpaste that you swallow instead of spit out. But I first heard about the benefits of eating clay from a taxi driver.”
Loving your body: “Get in a bath and look at your body and be like, ‘Wow, thank you so much for hosting my mind and my heart,’ like as women you know, and also be pregnant with the world. I think that’s really one of the most beautiful beauty tips, like, close your eyes and think about all of the other women out there who aren’t in positions to be on a red carpet in Hollywood tonight enjoying this beautiful weather and all of these beautiful smiles and put those women in your womb and be pregnant with them and send them love.”
That’s not to say that her whacky soundbites are the only reason we love Shailene. Obviously she was pretty amazing as Alexandra King in The Descendants (with George ‘old enough to be our grandad’ Swooney), and – totally shallow, we know – but she also has kinda great hair too.
But, yes. The main reason we’re digging her right now are the zany things that are coming out her mouth.
True, she still has some way to go before topping other say-whatevers-on-their-mind hero’s such as Courtney Love and Kanye West, but we’d just like to say, Shailene, thank you, and keep up the good work!
