We love them as ‘Tris’ and ‘Peter’ in ‘The Divergent Series’ but Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller are able to play every role they want. With their stunning performance together in 2013’s ‘The Spectacular Now’ and individual performances in this year’s ‘The Fault in Our Star’ (Woodley) and ‘Whiplash’ (Teller) they’ve showed their talent one more time.
That’s why the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) wanted to honor them with nominations on their EE Rising Star Award, which designs young stars to watch in the future.
