Shailene recently had strong words for another teen film, Twilight, calling the relationship between the two main character Bella and Edward "toxic" and "unhealthy".Speaking to Teen Vogue, Shailene says: "I didn’t do a movie for two years because I didn’t read anything that was inspiring to me.""Everybody was like, ‘You’ve got to ride the wave!’ And I was like, ‘You ride the wave and it eventually crashes on the shore. That doesn’t work out! I’m going to just sit here and paddleboard'," she said.Ansel also co-starred with Shailene in Divergent, and featured alongside Julianne Moore in Carrie in 2013.
