Variety’s Young Hollywood: Jaden Smith
Discussing his unique personality, Smith shares, “I’ve always looked at life differently. I always knew no one was going to understand me–since before I could talk–and that’s why I was so quiet.” The 18-year-old star continues, “I was very calm, very to myself. I could tell I felt about life differently than other kids; I could tell by the way they treated me.”

Variety’s Young Hollywood: Ansel Elgort
Talking about the success of The Fault in Our Stars, Elgort explains, “Young actors never get the opportunity.” The 22-year-old actor adds, “Otherwise my big commercial success would have been me being…’Oh, you’re the brother in Divergent, right?’ There’s like no weight behind that character. I got lucky. And now a studio and a director will be able to say, ‘We can finance a movie with you in it and also you’ll do a good job.'”

I don’t want to hop right into it and leave social media behind. I love social media, too. I kind of want to do everything.” Read more on Variety.com.
