Shailene Woodley had a health scare in her early 20s. Now 28, the "Big Little Lies" star recently spoke with the New York Times, where she offered a few details about experiencing a "very scary physical situation." “I haven’t spoken much about this yet publicly, and I will one day, but I was very, very sick in my early 20s," she revealed. "While I was doing the 'Divergent' movies and working hard, I also was struggling with a deeply personal, very scary physical situation." Woodley said she had to put her health before her career, which meant she lost out on roles.
