Shailene Woodley Gets Emotional Over Miles Teller's 'Oiled Up Abs' In 'Top Gun Maverick'

Actress, Shailene Woodley recently gushed about her former co-star and friend Miles Teller and his "oiled up abs." The actress previously starred with Teller in 2013 in "The Spectacular Now" and again in the "Divergent" series in 2014.

Since appearing in the movies together, the duo's friendship seemingly grew, enough for them to attend a vacation together with their partners. While talking about Teller's appearance in "Top Gun: Maverick," Woodley revealed that she thought he was a "wildly talented actor" and was happy with his involvement in the sequel.

"Top Gun: Maverick" is the sequel to the 1986 action drama film "Top Gun." The movie earned around $156 million during its four-day opening weekend, making it one of the biggest movie openings over a Memorial Day Weekend.

Woodley had only good things to say about Teller's appearance in "Top Gun: Maverick." In an Instagram post about the actor, she talked about her former co-star's "heart," "soul," "sass," "charisma," and "oiled up abs."

She wrote, "[Miles] gave the world everything you want but rarely get in a blockbuster film … heart. Soul. Sass. Charisma. (Oiled up abs)." The "The Fault in Our Stars" actress added that Teller was a "wildly talented actor," and watching him in action made her "heart explode."

"He did it all with such subtlety you barely knew it was happening. F--k, he really is such a wildly talented actor, and it made my heart explode watching him do his thing in this," Woodley said.

The 30-year-old also said that she was really happy for Teller and the rest of the film's crew. "Thank you for giving the world this gift. Miles, you deserve every ounce of this exciting moment. Proud sis moment happening over here. Bravooooo," she continued.

Woodley shed some light on how she felt about the film itself, gushing about Tom Cruise and how the "Mission Impossible" actor "slayed so hard." "If you haven't had the chance yet, run, don't walk, to your nearest cinema, sit your ass down, and watch the new Top Gun," she wrote.

"You will feel like a kid again… going to the cinema for an ACTUAL cinematic experience. We laughed, we cried, we clapped. So much clapping. @tomcruise obvi slayed so hard," The "Big Little Lies" actress added.

Since the duo starred in "The Spectacular Now" in 2013 and "Divergent" in 2014, they've seemingly remained close friends. Woodley and Teller are reportedly so close that they vacationed together with their partners last year before the 30-year-old broke up with her ex-fiancée, Aaron Rodgers.

The four of them, including Teller's wife Keleigh Sperry, vacationed in Hawaii in May 2021. They all hiked through the island and went on double dates in the evenings. At the time, Sperry documented the budding friendship between Teller and Rodgers while there.

Woodley and Rodgers reportedly canceled their engagement in February 2022 after being unable to see eye to eye on several issues. A source revealed that they initially tried to have another go at the relationship, but it didn't work out, so they officially called everything off.

According to CNN, the "Top Gun" sequel earned around $156 million during its four-day opening weekend, including its Monday tally. This bagged it the position of the biggest opening over the Memorial Day weekend, even surpassing "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End," which grossed $153 million in 2007.

"Top Gun: Maverick" was directed by John Kosinski and will shed light on Cruise's character, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, and his return to the TOPGUN Naval aviation program. Almost 30 years after he initially graduated, the naval officer is tasked with becoming an instructor to a group of elite fliers.

Mitchell's new charges include the son of his late best friend, Lt. Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw (Teller). Other pilots include Glen Powell, Jay Ellis, Greg Tarzan Davis, Monica Barbaro, and Lewis Pullman. Jennifer Connelly and Jon Hamm were also involved in the production, and Val Kilmer reprised his role from the original film.
