20 Brilliant "Insurgent" Reaction gifs featuring Ansel Elgort via Buzzfeed

I'll be honest... I have no idea how to embed gifs... 

So CLICK HERE to go check out these hilarious reaction gifs that Buzzfeed made with Ansel when they had him for his Twitter Q & A. You don't want to miss them!

Be warned- kinda spoiler alert for the last few. They give some detail about the ending of the movie, things you might not already know from the book, so if you haven't seen the movie yet make sure not to scroll to the very end! 

Jai Courtney gives Shailene, Miles and Ansel a Q&A

During the Insurgent Press Day, Kim Holcomb (an entertainment reporter) enlisted the help of Jai Courtney to ask his co-stars some humourous questions.

Ansel Elgort, Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller were each asked a question from Jai via a video.

Jai's question for Ansel was "Ansel, were you aware that by portraying Caleb in Insurgent, you'd look like such a b****?" 

For Shailene: "Shailene, was it weird kissing your brother in The Fault In Our Stars?" 

And Finally to Miles: "Miles, do you think you were robbed not being nominated for an Oscar (for Whiplash) this year? I noticed JK (Simmons) didn't thank you in his acceptance speech. Is that something that upset you, and why?"

March 30th- Insurgent Stills!

HLN: Game on! We quiz the stars of 'Insurgent'

"Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort and Octavia Spencer are the stars of one of the biggest movies of 2015 -- "Insurgent," the second hit in the YA book series/film franchise that has legions of super fans!When we caught up with the star-studded cast of the "Divergent" follow-up before the sequel's release, we had to test their knowledge on their own film and, of course, find out which faction they think they would belong to.

Theo James Gets Interviewed on Four and How He Changes the Roles He Portrays (BONUS: 5 New Portraits!)

In his new interview with LA Times, Theo James talks his old music career, the "Divergent Experience," and being offered more movie roles.

On his old music career:
“Now I’m scared to touch one [a saxophone] ,” he says of the instrument. “I feel like I’ve lost all my powers. It saddens me.”

On the "Divergent Experience"and Insurgent filming:
“Sometimes the nature of a big movie, the nature of the material, the scene doesn’t have the richness that you’d want it to,” James said. “We always personally worked together to make it make sense and make it as real as possible in that hyper real world. We talked about how there would be fractiousness and distance between [Tris and Four].”

On being offered more roles: 
“Scripts and opportunities changed and increased, but that’s a double-edged sword,” he said. “It’s easy to be wooed by what comes easy and the glamorous ones, those kinds of projects, whereas I was pretty sure I wanted to, at least for three or four years, be very specific with what I do and do smaller stuff.”

Behind the Scenes Video: Ansel Elgort with Teen Vogue

Ansel recently had a photoshoot with Teen Vogue for their April issue! Here's a behind the scenes video they shared, and the photos are below, along with their intro to the video!

"Going behind-the-scenes with Ansel Elgort is never a bad thing—especially when there's dancing involved. When we spent some quality time with the Insurgent star in Brooklyn during his Teen Vogue photo shoot, he was totally in his element.

Ansel went back to his roots for the dance and theater-inspired shoot. From the backstage dressing room vibes to a gorgeous model accompanying him en pointe, his time in the studio definitely brought back some memories. But that wasn't the only magic that happened throughout the day.

Ansel's mom brought a very special guest by the shoot—Katie Hawley, who's battling Ganglioneuroblastoma, a type of nodular cancer. As a big The Fault in Our Stars fan (and Ansel fan in general!), it made her day to be able to meet her favorite star—and completely inspired Ansel in return.

The main thing we took away from this video? Ansel's still the same sweet, thoughtful guy we've always known him to be. Despite being one of the most-talked-about movie stars in the biz, he's happy to say he's still as normal as can be. As in a Chipotle-loving, street ball-playing guy who loves nothing more than lying in bed relaxing for hours on end. Watch the video above and see for yourself!"

@anselelgort is the best date ever! We went out with Hollywood's king of hearts—head to TeenVogue.com to hear all about the strange sides of fame and what love means to Ansel. Photos by @giampaolosgura.

Ansel Elgort interview with Seventeen Magazine (+ Photos)

Ansel is on the cover of the April issue of Seventeen Magazine! 

He actually has two covers! 

Here's the teaser for the interview from Seventeen Magazine's website:

The egg-throwing scene in The Fault in Our Stars is one of the most memorable moments in a movie that otherwise makes you cry your face off. Turns out, star Ansel Elgort had some real-life practice (eggsperience?), he reveals exclusively in the April issue of Seventeen.

Sounds like Ansel was a bit of a troublemaker back in the day, but the best part of his story is that he was able to sweet talk his way out of it, just like the endlessly charming Augustus.

He tells Seventeen:

"[My friend] Jordan and I used to throw eggs off my roof and hit cars. We got in trouble with the police when I was 15. They came to our door. I told my dad, 'We were throwing eggs off the roof and you were out of town and they got really mad at us and said if we did it again we would get in trouble, but we're never going to do it again.' I said it all in one sentence. He was like, 'Okay.'"

Here are a few quotes from this interview that E! shared here:

"If a woman is really pretty, it's kind of hard. I'm not going to lie. Actually, that's not true," Elgort said. "Me and Shailene have a really platonic relationship. I've never once wanted her sexually, which is nice. But for me, if a person is someone I'm attracted to, and she's my best friend, hopefully we're dating."

"I like to buy girls shoes and jewelry," the 22-year-old actor said proudly. "I buy stupidly expensive shoes. I got Louboutins for my mom and my girlfriend before. My mom was like, 'I can't wear these; they're too high.' I was like, 'Mom, you have to try them—they're so cool. They're red snakeskin!' She still wears them every so often, but she can't walk in them."

"I like romantic dates—going on a long walk in Central Park and then taking the subway downtown and going out to eat and ordering oysters. After that, you walk around again and talk. Morning dates are nice, too. I love doing romantic s--t. It's fun," Elgort told Seventeen, on newsstands March 24. "It's like you're living in a movie."

Epic Reads on the set of Insurgent

Check out this awesome video from the girls at Epic Reads! They met up with Veronica Roth in the Factionless set for Evelyn's house and got hands-on with the trinkets that fill the space (like we all wish we could) and then they went and gushed over the costumes! You aren't going to want to miss this!

HBO First Look: Behind the Scenes of Insurgent

This 13 minute long video includes a ton of glimpses at clips we haven't seen from Insurgent before and lots of new interviews! Thanks so much to PlanetShailene for uploading the video to YouTube! I could've just done it for myself but I'm a little scared of Lionsgate, lol.

New Clip: Tris and Four Will Find the Truth

Check out this new clip from MTV!

I know it feels like a ton of clips are being released and we're practically seeing the whole movie before it even comes out, but to me it feels like we're still well below what we got for Divergent last year. That was just nuts. So it's up to you whether or not you want to watch new clips/TV spots when they're released. You can choose not to! I decided not to watch the B-Roll footage of Insurgent for instance.

Ansel Elgort on LIVE with Kelly and Michael! (Video + Photos)

Ansel Elgort went on Live with Kelly and Michael to talk about Insurgent. He even talked about Anselites! I have never heard him say that word out loud before. I know he must've said it to the New York Post once because they shared it in an interview that later made it into People Magazine, but now we get to see it with our own eyes! 

(I'm particularly excited about this because I was actually the one who made up the word "Anselite". I knew he was going to have a big fandom someday and I wanted to have a hand in shaping it, so I asked him a number of times what he would choose and a number of my followers and I suggested quite a few options (like Elgies, or Elgorettes, *shudders*) but in the end he chose Anselites! It stands for Ansel + satellite, which is an object that revolves around something else, so in our case we're the fans revolving around the star called Ansel Elgort.)

Here's the interview! Thanks to Catie for recording it and sharing it with us!
