We gotta think about people as people, even when they’re very famous people, or people who feel like, you know, like they aren’t really real. They are. They are really real.
John Green responds to the backlash against Shailene Woodley being cast as Hazel Grace [x] (via notextinctenough)
Breaking news! Shailene Woodley (The Descendents) is going to play Hazel in the film adaptation of John Green’s The Fault In Our Stars!
I am very excited about this.
Here’s the thing, tumblr: Shailene Woodley loves The Fault in Our Stars. She really does, and in her audition, she just was Hazel—at least to me. You can read what Josh (the director) had to say about it in the article above, but for me her commitment to the book and deep understanding of Hazel make her the perfect choice.
Before that, we were just looking at ideas of each other, like looking at your window shade but never seeing inside.
