Seriously—Shailene Woodley is, like, one “accidental trip” away from going full-Jennifer Lawrence.

They’re Both “Down to Earth”

Of course, they are down to Earth in completely different ways. Jen is down to Earth in a she-talks-about-loving-pizza-and-falls-on-red-carpets kind of way, while Shai is literally down to Earth.

Don’t get us wrong—she’s perfectly humble—but she’s also a teensy bit of a hippie.

“I make my own medicines; I don’t get those from doctors. I make my own cheese and forage wild foods and identify wild plants,” Shai explained.

And when she isn’t playing forest pharmacist, she’s making other cosmetic essentials.

“I gather my own spring water from mountains every month. I go to a farm to get my food. I make everything from my own toothpaste to my own body lotions and face oils.”

They’re the Stars of The Hunger Games and Divergent

Movies based on young adult novels about Dystopian futures where teenage girls are forced to fight to their death and save the world are so hot right now.

Did we mention that for these movies to be successful, our heroine MUST wear a bodysuit?

The future is a scary place, indeed.

They Totally Have the Same Haircut

Yes, Shai cut her hair first for her role as cancer patient Hazel Grace Lancaster in The Fault in Our Stars, due out this summer. But it’s worth noting that the way she styled her hair changed drastically after Jen made her cut.

Don’t believe us? Check out the photo above—one is Shai’s short locks before the Chop Seen ‘Round the World (top), and the other is after (bottom).

Blondes Have More Fun, Apparently

Speaking of hair, Shai recently debuted a lighter color on her outgrown pixie-cut-bob that reminds us a lot of Jen’s signature honey color.

They Both Have Great Things to Say About Body Image

In March, the former Secret Life of the American Teenager actress told Marie Claire that she used to struggle with body image.

“My whole life I’ve been so self-conscious about being skinny. And just recently I don’t care anymore.”

Similarly (but also, kinda, conversely), Jen told Barbara Walters that she thinks “it should be illegal to call somebody fat on TV.”

You know, it’s easy to overcome your issues with insecurities when you’re successful and gorgeous!

They Were Both Attached to Superhero Flicks

After Jen’s considerable success as Mystique in X-Men: First Class, Shai was cast as Mary Jane in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, opposite Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.

Ultimately, she was cut—because it was too hard to introduce a new love interest for Spidey considering the chemistry between Andrew and Emma—but it’s the thought that counts
