Shailene Woodley says Four needs to be Masculine and Vunerable at the same time

Shailene Woodley was at Sundance Film Festival when we first learned that she was Divergent Movie's Tris. Now Shailene weighs in on her ideal Four and she has two guys that she thinks is really great with MTV's Josh Horowitz:

"Dude, I want to find him. We have been doing some tests. We've been doing some auditions," Woodley said. "We'll see what happens. As of now, we have been scoping out the land. There are a few in particular — two guys — that I think are really great."

Though Woodley didn't name names, she was specific about what traits a would-be Four should possess.

"The thing about Four is that he has to be a man. No feminine actors, please," she said. "You cannot walk in that room in pretty little boots and pretend you're a man. I'm sorry. You need to walk in there, and you need to not have muscles that look good and not actually work. There have been a few guys that have this power about them. It's a natural masculine power that some people have and some people don't. There's nothing good or bad or wrong or right about it. This character needs to be extremely masculine, and his eyes need to scream vulnerability and sensitivity. It's really hard to find in a dude, especially a dude who can act."

I wish she would have told us what two guys she likes. I'm dying to know! I agree with her with her opinions of the traits that the actor that plays Four has to have. Do you? Shailene elaborates even more about the testing process...

"It's more just the chemistry between the two of us and seeing if we do have that chemistry or can work on that chemistry — seeing if our back-and-forth dialogue makes any sense with each other," she explained. "There's a lot of standards that have to be met."

Comment by Taylor Smiht on January 23, 2013 at 2:27pm: I so totally agree, I hope four aka Tobias is built ,gorgeous and has the correct hair and eye colour

Comment by Steele Sheen on January 23, 2013 at 6:24pm: wow, thats pretty specific Shailene-- i LIKE it! =D

but yes i totally agree with everything she said about the qualifications of casting for Four, maybe its why its taking them this long. he needs to be all that *points above* AND have great chemistry with her. that is some level to be met-- i cant wait to see who it is that they finally sign for this.

Comment by Elerine on January 24, 2013 at 12:18pm: I think Alex Pettyfer would be perfect for the role. Is not too old, just see "I'm number four", for me it is the perfect Four!

Comment by Naomi Myers on January 24, 2013 at 8:26pm: I absolutely agree with Woodley and I think she will be great when it comes to helping to decide who will be FOUR/TOBIAS. She gets the sense of who Four is. CANT WAIT, SO STOKED FOR THE MOVIE^.^
