WATCH: Shailene Woodley Reveals At The Emmy's She Doesn't Watch TV
September 18, 2017
Shailene Woodley wants everybody to know that she doesn't watch TV -- because she reads books!
The 25-year-old actress made the announcement on the red carpet at Sunday night's Emmys, where she was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series for her work on HBO's Big Little Lies.
"All my friends who watch TV, I always ask them when they have time to," she explained to E! News. "When do people have time to? I'm a reader, so I always read a book."
Viewers quickly took to social media to make fun of Woodley for her comments.
"Shailene is the Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation With at a Party in real life," one wrote. Another joked, "Shailene Woodley says on the red carpet she doesn't have a TV; she watches her shows by gazing in a drop of morning dew on a forest fern."

Sorry, Shailene Woodley. You have to own a TV to present an Emmy. New rule! #Emmys

don't own a TV, I was carried here by birds, just stepped out of a refreshing manure bath
“I’m a reader,” says Shailene Woodley, who doesn’t have a TV (or a home) and makes her own deodorant out of ground up Smurfs. #Emmys2017
