'I fall in love with who they are': Divergent star Shailene Woodley says she doesn't consider 'what sex someone is' when choosing a partner

She has been linked to her The Spectacular Now co-star Miles Teller in the past but Shailene Woodley says she hasn't ruled out falling for another woman.

The 22-year-old actress is open about her sexuality, explaining that doesn't put restrictions on herself when it comes to love.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the Divergent actress said: 'I fall in love with human beings based on who they are, not based on what they do or what sex they are.'

Opening up: Shailene Woodley has revealed she is open about her sexuality and falls in love with people based on who they are rather than their sex

Woodley is gearing up for the release of her eagerly awaited movie Divergent, the first in a series of teen movies set in a Dystopian future but she is also happy to work on more grown up fare and spoke about the sex scenes in her latest film White Bird.

In the flick, she portrays a 17-year-old who seduces a 40-year-old and she had no problem with the graphic scenes.

Free spirit: The 22-year-old actress wants to discover what people are like inside before she is attracted to them

Shailene explained: 'When somebody's doing a sex scene and they're wearing a bra and underwear, that's not how it happens in real life.

'If I'm going to say yes to a movie where this is necessary, then I'm going to bring truth to that situation.'

Meanwhile, Shailene also admitted she turned to Jennifer Lawrence for advice when deciding

whether or not to take on the lead role in Divergent.

She stars as Beatrice 'Tris' Pryor in the eagerly anticipated Divergent and only agreed to be in the movie after Lawrence encouraged her.

Shailene said: '[I talked with Jennifer. She] said: "You must do it. You will not regret it for a second. Yes, there are some hard things, but there are so many beautiful things that will come from an opportunity like this."'

Shailene revealed she was wary of signing on for a franchise because she had spent five seasons working on TV show, The Secret Life Of An American Teenager.

Opening up: Shailene opened up in the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter, speaking about love, career and her attempts to be more eco-conscious

She said: 'Having come off a TV show, I was kind of in the place where I was like, "I'm never signing a contract for more than one movie," because once you do sign a contract, legally, you're liable.

'[Even] if you don't find something creatively stimulating anymore, you've still got to do it legally.'

While environmentally conscious Shailene 'exclusively buys used clothes', the starlet admitted she will wear designer garb for promotional appearances because she worries no one will take her seriously others.

Running late: Shailene and co-star Theo James arrived in Toronto together just an hour before they were due to hit the red carpet for their Canadian premiere of Divergent

'If I was to show up wearing my five-toe shoes, my Melodia organic leggings and some hippie top, no one is going to take me seriously' she said.

'When I go on a red carpet, I’m Shailene, but I’m also Shailene representing a movie.

'I'm there for my boss, for my employer, so part of that comes with wearing the uniform.'

On the run: Shailene rushed through the airport with her huge suitcase as she continued her promotional trail for the movie

She's refreshing. It's going to be interesting to watch her grow in her craft, so far she has shown definite talent. Let's see how it all shapes up now that she's and adult making big decisions. Regards to the sexual it comment. I think we've all learned by now..to each there own. I also think we are going to see a lot of this attitude in the future. It seems to be a concept that is sticking with this up and coming generation. I've had long and deep discussions with my nieces and nephews of this age group and it is certainly not exclusive of Hollywood types. I think we will be seeing more of this relationship option with upcoming generations. Let's hope we can stretch tolerance beyond what we are able to immediately understand.

She's like The Silence, every time I look away from her picture I forget what she looks like. Very pretty but utterly forgettable. Seems like the smiling version of Kristen "Pout Mouth" Stewart.
