The Secret Life of the American Teenager’s star Shailene Woodley has been creating quite a stir recently with her breakout role in The Descendants. Recently the young star was seen at ABC Studios in Times Square, New York City to make an appearance on Good Morning America.

While visiting the Good Morning America set, Woodley admitted she’s feeling a little overwhelmed with all the Oscar talk regarding her new film. The young starlet expressed her feelings toward the experience of working with George Clooney and Alexander Payne in Hawaii on the film as “surreal and crazy.” For me, I’m not sure which would be more surreal or crazy being able to film in Hawaii or working alongside the always gorgeous George Clooney.

Woodley credits the writing of the screenplay for her ability to divulge into her character in the film. She plays the rebellious 17 year old, Alexandra King in the film. Following a tragic boating accident, her character’s mother is left in a coma and the family is left to rebuild their family and lives. George Clooney, who plays Woodley’s father in the film is left examining his past while trying to sort out his future.

In a recent interview, the talented actress confessed if she wasn’t acting she would more than likely be in the woods trying to survive the wild, either that or studying massage therapy. Interesting choices for Woodley as both are a far cry from her current gig as one of the stars on The Secret Life of the American Teenager and now a role in The Descendants as well. I wouldn’t expect to see her doing either of her alternative choices anytime soon, unless of course she’s taking on the role for a new film.

What are your thoughts on the film? Did you think Shailene did a good job in the film?
