Privacy concerns have gone through the roof since the NSA revelations from contractor Edward Snowden, but at least phone tapping is one thing actress Shailene Woodley won't have to worry about it.
The 22-year-old star, who first rose to fame on ABC Family's "The Secret Life of the American Teenager," doesn't even own a cell phone to be hacked, she recently told The Daily Beast in an exclusive interview.
"The thing with privacy is I'm just going to make sure that whatever I hold sacred stays sacred," Woodley said. "As far as the hacking stuff goes, I don't really have to worry about that. I'm not a big technology person. I don't even have a smartphone. I don't even have a cellphone! And if I were to have one, it would be a flip-phone."
In the interview, Woodley cited privacy as a concern, but she also noted that not owning a cell phone means more interaction with people in real life--something she enjoys.
"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," she told The Daily Beast.
Woodley, who starred with George Clooney in 2011's "The Descendants," is poised to become the next dystopian heroine with the screen adaptation of Veronica Roth's "Divergent," slated to hit theaters on March 21.
In the futuristic story, society is divided into five factions based on a different virtue, and teenagers have to select just one faction to belong to for the rest of their lives.
Woodley wanted to play Tris, the main character, partly because "Divergent" has parallels to modern culture.
"There's so much opportunity for conversation since the movie is so metaphorical to today's society," she told The Daily Beast.
"It's a weird time to be alive. It's a beautiful time to be alive, but it's different from the past because technology is so advanced today, so there's really no precedent when it comes to our privacy."
