Hollywood star Shailene Woodley

Hollywood star Shailene Woodley says it is really inspiring how Fijians care for each other and their elders.

In an interview with late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, Woodley shared some her wonderful experiences in her recent trip to Fiji.

Woodley was in Suva last weekend to watch partner Ben Volavola play for the Flying Fijians against the Maori All Blacks.

Woodley says it is also remarkable how fast news travels around Fiji.

Woodley met Volavola during the shooting of the movie Adrift in Fiji last year and they have been in a relationship since.

Woodley has acted in movies like The Divergent series, Big little Lies and The Fault in Our Stars.
