They are both down-to-earth stars who found fame at a young age.

So it stands to reason that Ellen Page and Shailene Woodley have a lot in common.

While the pair are not known to be friends, they certainly seemed close after enjoying lunch together on Friday.

The actresses both looked laid-back and were make-up free as they left Palihouse in West Hollywood.

Ellen led the way, clad in a red plaid shirt under a black bomber jacket, along with relaxed jeans and brown boots.

The Juno star, 27, accessorised with a green beanie hat atop her dark locks and oversized aviator sunglasses.

Shailene emerged just behind her pal, and strolled beside a mutual friend.

The Descendents star was sporting a white printed T-shirt with black cropped leggings and a grey jumper tied around his waist.

The 22-year-old also had a brown headband over her pixie cut showed what a free spirit she is by sporting what looked like black wetsuit socks instead of shoes.

Shailene wore a couple of pendant necklaces, several rings, an anklet, and had a black satchel slung across her body.

The rising star is about to become a household name as the star of Divergent, the film adaptation of the bestselling book.

But Shailene is determined that stardom won’t change her, and recently revealed how she stays grounded.

‘I’m not a big technology person. I don’t even have a smartphone. I don’t even have a cellphone!’ she told The Daily Beast.

‘And if I were to have one, it would be a flip-phone. There’s a bigger lack of privacy than there’s ever been, but there’s also a bigger lack of camaraderie and community than there’s ever been.’

She added: ‘I mean … just asking people for directions. Since I got rid of my phone, having to pull over and be like, “Hey, buddy—do you know how to get here?”

‘I’m talking to people more than I’ve ever talked to in my life because I no longer have that crutch. The more you get away from all the technological buzz, the more freedom you have.’

Interesting. People like Miley Cyrus and the absurd Kardashian clan should take lessons from them on remaining grounded,

'We didn't know you were friends!' I missed the memo where everyone had to sign a form for the DM declaring their friendship with a new person.

So much sneaky inference from something so mundane as two workmates having lunch.

So is every woman she hangs out with now going to be her new girl friend? Yawn...No, seriously, how old are the people who write for DM?
