About that awkward running in 'Insurgent'...
Let's be clear: Ansel Elgort is not an awkward runner; Caleb from Insurgent (out now) is a very awkward runner.
Caleb (Elgort's character), who values his knowledge in the faction Erudite in the Divergent series, gets comically winded when he tries to keep up with his sister Tris (Shailene Woodley) and her boyfriend Four (Theo James). He's a noticeably poor sprinter, which is funny, because he does plenty of running in the second Divergent film. But, of course, Elgort is only acting as though he runs that way.
Elgort
:
"It's not like me to be like not physical like Caleb... I don't run like Caleb, by the way, let's make that clear... I run like me, and Caleb runs like someone who's Erudite who's not cut out for running around. Acting is becoming a character, and a character is gonna do everything a certain way: eat a certain way, drink a certain way, run a certain way, talk a certain way, that's a character."
That awkward running reminds us of a few more fast-paced performances (in the video above).
