Shailene Woodley Reveals the Surprising Way Her Parents Used to Punish Her
Shailene Woodley stops to check her phone as she enjoys a walk in downtown Manhattan on Thursday (September 15) in New York City.
That same day, the 24-year-old actress was also spotted checking out of her room at The Bowery Hotel.
Shailene recently opened up about her personal life and revealed details about her childhood, calling her family her “everything.”
“They would do anything for me, and I would do anything for them,” she told The Edit by Net-A-Porter. “That’s a lot more than most people can say about their families.”
She went on to share that her father, a psychologist, and her mother, a counselor, would make her and her little brother Tanner hug each other for hours in the front yard when they got into arguments!
“The whole time you’re just seething, you’re disliking this person with so much energy, but if you let go you have to stay there for an extra hour,” Shailene explained. “That was the manipulative psychology my parents were into!”
