Shailene Woodley on the search for Divergent's Four...

...at MTV:

"The thing about Four is that he has to be a man. No feminine actors, please," she said. "You cannot walk in that room in pretty little boots and pretend you're a man. I'm sorry. You need to walk in there, and you need to not have muscles that look good and not actually work. There have been a few guys that have this power about them. It's a natural masculine power that some people have and some people don't. There's nothing good or bad or wrong or right about it. This character needs to be extremely masculine, and his eyes need to scream vulnerability and sensitivity. It's really hard to find in a dude, especially a dude who can act."

Well, then.

Sounds to me like she's looking for a young Daniel Craig.

Mmmmmmmm. If she can pull off getting this character, this adaptation just might work. I find most young actors too "pretty." Whatever happened to heart and charisma and being hot because the power of your personality is something that shines through your pores? Why does it have to be all artfully tousled hair and perfect skin?

Oh, wait. This is YA. What am I thinking.
