Shailene Woodley And Theo James Impress Kate Winslet? ‘Divergent’ Movie Villain Describes Film’s Lead Actress As ‘Gorgeous’ And ‘Grounded’

Shailene Woodley and Theo James' chemistry is about to hit theater screens in less than two days. Despite the buzz their love team is currently generating, Kate Winslet finds herself impressed with Woodley's talent and character.

The 39-year-old actress can relate to Woodley for at age 19, she has been selected to play the legendary role of Rose DeWitt Bukater in 'Titanic'. At an early age, Winslet experienced her taste of film stardom. She thanks the drama film for it changed "everything" in her life.

In 'Divergent', she will be playing the role of ambitious leader Jeanine Matthews. She might be Woodley's adversary in the film but the mother of three appears to have developed a close relationship with Woodley in real life.

"We've had a lot of conversations and we continue to have them. She's a gorgeous girl and I feel really very excited for her, partly because she's going to be able to handle all of this. She's a very gentle grounded person and she's going to be absolutely fine. We just chat about the experiences that I have had and the things that I have learned, and how to stay true herself and what to say what not to say, but more importantly, to enjoy it, too," she told E! News

The 'Reader' actress also believes that Woodley gave justice to the role Veronica Roth penned: "She's done a wonderful job playing this role. She defines Tris and it's going to mean so much for so many young people to see her and she's a great strong girl. She can really look to the performance that she's given and know that it's going to mean something to a lot of people."

'Divergent' will be shown on March 21.
