How old is four divergent

But Theo is 28 and Shailene isn't 16, either. And remember that Four is supposed to look older than what he really is in the books! Casting has more to do with acting abilities than pedophilia or the accuracy of an actor's age.

Once the roles are cast and the fans have a film to lose themselves in, temporary suspension of disbelief kicks in. Four is 18, Chicago exists only in ruins, and children are forced to brutalize each other. In movies, gay people play straight people, married people play singles, and sometimes older people play younger people.

All of it is Hollywood's smoke and mirrors. It's okay. Dec 28, AM. Theo is hot Dec 28, PM. I think they aged everyone a little. I think Tris is ish during the movie so the age gap isn't as bad.

Pedophilia is specifically attraction to prepubescent children. That means attraction to children 12 years old and younger usually. Even if Tris is 15 or played by a 15 year old, that doesn't make Four or any actor who plays him a pedophile.

More like an ephebophile. As to the original OP. Many teenagers look like they could pass for 30 somethings, many look like they're not even in High School. Besides, older actors playing younger characters isn't anything new.

Even with adult characters it's nothing new. As many others have said, having older actors play younger characters is pretty common. They did the same for The Hunger Games - originally, I was disappointed, because I thought it would make the story less powerful since the whole point is that KIDS are being forced to kill each other.

But Jennifer Lawrence did an awesome job, and Catching Fire turned out to be one of the best book adaptations I've ever seen. As long as the actors are talented enough to do the characters justice, I don't mind.

I know they both are actually older then their characters ages but they should have just left it. Think about it why would a 24 year old want to go out with a 16 year old especially if one of them is the others instructor.

I don't think it's right. I don't think they changed the ages of the characters because of the actors in The Hunger Games so why couldn't Divergent be like that? Tris thinks Tobias knows Marcus better, but she still has her doubts.

When Tris and other Dauntless members are ambushed by the Dauntless traitors on the rooftop of Hancock Tower, she is captured by the traitors as a Divergent. However, just as she manages to stab Eric, who captured her, Tobias bursts in with other loyal Dauntless soldiers, and manages to save her. He later reprimands her for confronting the Erudite when she only had a pocket knife, and when she insists it was necessary, Tobias reveals that he doesn't want to lose her. Meanwhile, the Dauntless have started mocking and teasing Tobias about being abused by his father.

Tobias helps the other Dauntless soldiers by spying on Jack Kang , the Candor leader, and finds out Erudite is going to send a representative of Jeanine to discuss a negotiation. Tris figures that they need to listen in to the conversation to find out what Erudite is going to ask for. When Tobias is openly mocked in the Candor cafeteria, he gets up and heads for Marcus, also at the compound, and publicly beats him up in the cafeteria.

Tris is shocked by this sudden outburst, but later realizes it wasn't sudden. Tobias claims he no longer wanted to be mocked by everyone, but she realizes he wanted to be held in high regard by Dauntless in order to assist Evelyn's plan for him to "become important. Tris refuses to back down, and Tobias tags along to protect her. During the stakeout, Dauntless member Lynn shoots Max , Jeanine's representative, and Tris leads a group to the place she believes Jeanine is hiding.

Before she can get there, Lynn's sister Shauna is shot and injured. Tobias is furious with Tris for her actions, and warns her that if she continues to be reckless, he's done with her.

Dauntless members at Candor gather together to discuss Erudite's demands and their next move. They decide to create new leadership, and elect Tobias, Tori Wu , and Harrison as the new leaders. They also decide to put Eric on trial, since he's a Dauntless member, and their responsibility. During Eric's "trial," he asks Tris to state his crimes, and she realizes it's his way of getting to Tobias.

Eventually, they sentence him to death, and he tells Tobias to execute him, hoping he will have to live with the guilt. Tobias doesn't feel guilty at all, and kills Eric. Afterwards, Tobias jumps onto the train with the other Dauntless members to head back to headquarters.

Tobias pulls Tris aside that evening to join him for a meeting. They get on the train, where Evelyn and Edward meet with them, and Tobias says he wants to negotiate an alliance between the Dauntless and the factionless to take down Erudite. Evelyn accepts, but after she and Edward get off, Tris reveals that she doesn't trust Evelyn, and believes she has an ulterior motive.

Tobias doesn't think she has a clear perspective, and chooses to discount her suspicions. Tris gets off the train, angry at Tobias' words. That night, the Erudite activate a simulation serum, and send a message saying that the Divergent have to surrender or members will be killed every two days. Tris and Christina are able to save Kee and Hector , two members under simulation, but a third member, Marlene , jumps off the roof and dies.

Tobias approaches Tris at dinner the next day, telling her not to make any decisions until they've talked about it. When Tobias finds Tris in his room later, he reveals that he knows she's lying and planning to go to Erudite. The two of them argue about the situation, with Tris saying this is the only solution.

Tobias tells Tris just how scared he is at the thought of losing her, asking her to stay for him. Tris agrees then, but that night, she sneaks off and goes to Erudite. Tobias later gets into the Erudite compound, supposedly trying to rescue Tris.

Tris sees him while getting escorted by Peter, and he claims he turned himself in, as well. Tobias is later brought into a room where Jeanine has Tris strapped to a table, and Tobias reveals to Tris that Jeanine wants information on the factionless safe houses.

In order to achieve this, Jeanine injects Tris with a concentrated fear simulation serum, making her completely overwhelmed by terror. Unable to bear seeing Tris suffer, he tells Jeanine where the safe houses are. Soon after, he manages to fight off both his and Tris' guards, and runs through the hallways.

He then pulls her into a closet, where he reveals that he came here to get intel on Erudite headquarters, so that the Dauntless and factionless could break in two weeks from then, when Tris' execution was scheduled. The two are captured by the guards soon after. Tris' execution is moved up when Jeanine becomes frustrated at not being able to find a serum to keep her under, and decides to execute her and run the experiments with Tobias instead. Tobias desperately tries to break out of his room so he can see Tris the day of the execution.

She walks by as this occurs, and puts her hand on the window, to which he puts his hand on the other side next to hers. Tris supposedly is executed, but is actually rescued by Peter, who brings her to Tobias. The three escape together. The three escape to the Abnegation sector, where both Dauntless and factionless have come together. Soon after, it is announced that the factionless and Dauntless will jointly raid the Erudite compound to stop their power quest.

Tobias tells Tris that he's requested her to be with his team, so he's not separated from her again. Tris, though, says she's still not comfortable shooting a gun, and Tobias tells her she can sit out of the raid.

Soon after, he participates in the attack on Erudite headquarters, and heads to the main control rooms to shut down their resources. There, he finds Marcus, trying to steal information from the Erudite hard drive. He then heads to Jeanine's private lab, where Tori has captured Tris after she tried to get the same information Marcus was after. Tobias realized Tris sided with Marcus and betrayed him, but she argues that he should know her better to understand there was a purpose to her coming.

Tobias later finds the information Marcus and Tris were after, and releases it for everyone to see just as Evelyn declares the factionless now in control of government. He comes back to Tris, and watches as a woman named Edith Prior reveals the creation of the faction system. Tobias has been avoiding Tris since the reveal of the video because he's trying to stay in his mother's confidence. Eventually, he visits her in her holding cell to let her know she's going to be interrogated under truth serum, and he's convinced Evelyn to let her be questioned first so Christina and Cara , Will's sister from Erudite, don't get punished as traitors.

Tris is able to resist the truth serum, and get Evelyn to let her, Cara, and Christina go. Soon after, Tobias takes Tris out on a date, and reveals how upset he's been despite understanding her need to lie to him.

Tris tells him how she wants to be alive for him, and they both agree to not keep secrets from each other. Tris later is ambushed by people who say they belong to the Allegiant, and want her help to go outside the city limits.

Tobias is there when Tris and their friends go to the meeting, and find out Johanna and Cara both head up the Allegiant. Johanna decides not to go, but Cara decides she'll lead the group to go outside the city and see what is there. Tobias decides to go, but his friend and fellow initiate, Zeke , decides not to, but asks that Tobias look out for his brother, Uriah , when they go outside.

Tris, meanwhile, asks that Caleb is brought along, too. Though Tobias doesn't like Caleb because he betrayed Tris to the Erudite, he breaks him out of prison and stops his execution by escaping with him to the city limits. The group splits up, and is ambushed. Tobias is injured, but survives. However, Tris tells him that Tori didn't survive the attack. The group keeps walking away from the city, and eventually spot a truck.

Tobias is shocked when Amar steps out, alive. They all are taken to the base, which is revealed to be the Bureau of Genetic Welfare. There, they are met by the Bureau's leader, David , as well as Zoe and George Wu , Tori's brother whose death was faked just like Amar's.

They find out that their city, Chicago, is an experiment in order to get rid of genetic damage believed to have been responsible for the Purity War years before.

Tobias tries to adjust to life outside the city, but is finding it hard to have any grasp on reality due to the shock of the world. Tobias comes with Tris when she is asked to get a genetic test done by Matthew , a Bureau scientist. Though Tris insists it means nothing, Tobias is upset at this revelation.

While meeting them, he finds out about Marcus' trial, and watches inside the Bureau while Evelyn gives Marcus the sentence of exile rather than execution.

Nita reveals she's planning a revolution against the Bureau, believing no genetics test can distinguish people. Though Nita insists he keep it to himself, Tobias tells Tris in order to keep his promise to be honest with her. The two of them find out that the Bureau was the one who gave Jeanine the attack serum that made the Dauntless attack Abnegation under simulation because the Abnegation were about to reveal the video, which would have destroyed the experiment.

Nita says she's going to get the memory serum the Bureau holds to take away their power, and destroy it. Tobias is willing to help, but Tris is hesitant, wondering why Nita is just destroying the serum.

Tobias accuses her of being jealous, and resolves to help Nita. On the day of the attack, Tobias goes to the control room to shut off the security system while Nita breaks into the main vault where the Bureau holds the serum. The plan fails, and Tobias ends up getting arrested. Tris later comes to him and reveals Nita was trying to steal the death serum, not the memory serum, in order to kill the Bureau and get rid of the genetic division.

She also reveals that Uriah was near the explosion Nita set off as a decoy, and, as a result, is in a coma without any hope of waking up. Tris tells Tobias she's not sure she can stay with him anymore. Tobias is shocked by Uriah's fate, realizing he broke his promise to Zeke. Though he's released with a minimal sentence, Tobias is upset that he might have lost Tris for good.

Tobias spends time in the control room, watching inside Chicago on the screens, and his parents in order to forget the fact that he hurt Uriah and Tris. He watches Marcus meets Johanna, and propose to ally against Evelyn in order to overthrow her. Cara notices Tobias' obsession, and wonders what Marcus is up to.

The two try to figure out what the Allegiant's plan is in order to steal Evelyn's stash of weapons. He later sees Johanna and Marcus break into a safe house, and steal ammunition Evelyn had locked up. Tris eventually reconciles with Tobias, finally feeling comfortable and the two make love for the first time. The two stay together to fight against the Bureau. Tris is offered a position on the Bureau's board of GPs, and finds out David is planning to reset the entire city and restart the experiments.

Tobias doesn't want this to happen, and neither does Tris. She realizes they could use the memory serum to reset the Bureau and change their mind sets about the genetic divide. Though Tobias is hesitant about the plan, he decides to go along with it. When Christina informs Tris and Tobias that Uriah is going to be taken off his ventilator, Tobias resolves to go into the city and get Zeke and Hana , their mother, so they can come and say goodbye to Uriah before the planned reset happens.

When the group meets with Matthew, they reveal that whoever tries to reset the Bureau will be on a suicide mission, because they have to get through the death serum.

Caleb volunteers, knowing that Tris and the others have no sympathy for him with his lack of care. Matthew gives the group a serum that inoculates them against the memory serum. Tobias notices that Peter pretends to inoculate himself during this time. Christina comes to Tobias, and asks if he's okay with his parents getting reset.
