10 Movie Characters Who Look Nothing Like Their Source Material

10. Shailene Woodley As Beatrice "Tris" Prior - The Divergent Series

It speaks volumes to just how woeful The Divergent Series is as a cinematic endeavour that in addition to the franchise's laundry list of shortcomings, production couldn't even land an actress that vaguely resembled the source material's lead character.

Shailene Woodley is the best thing about these contrived sci-fi adaptations, desperately trying to keep the doomed enterprise afloat like a single salmon trying to lift a blue whale from the bottom of the ocean. With that being said, arguing that The Fault in Our Stars alum is the spitting image of her literary counterpart is like trying to posit that Conor McGregor looks like Margaret Thatcher.

Veronica Roth - author of the novels on which the film series is based - brings her leading lady to life on paper with blonde tresses, large blue eyes and a long, narrow face. Considering that Woodley has auburn hair, piercing hazel eyes and a distinctly oval profile, it's almost like production read Roth's books and decided to find someone who looked as far apart from the writer's description as physically possible.

In terms of fidelity to the original, this is about as disastrous as it gets.
