We all know Ansel Elgort. He's the son of the wealthy, famous photographer who stars in all those movies the kids are into. He made girls cry in The Fault in Our Stars, tripled down with the Insurgent series, and played a teen addicted to video games in the not-very-good Men, Women & Children, so chances are you're pretty aware of who he is.
What you may not know about Ansel though is that he quite possibly gives the douchiest interviews ever—and boy does he give them a lot. In nearly all of his interviews, Ansel tries so hard to be nonchalant, down to earth, and most importantly, a non-threatening champion of women that he ends up being the exact opposite. It's like watching an endless loop of the clip from Good Will Hunting when Matt Damon tells Robin Williams, "I have been laid, you know. BIG time." Except it's in text form.
The thing is, I bet Ansel's a totally fine person. He's probably like any other 21-year-old from New York City, which is to say still pretty shitty, but not exceptionally shitty. In interviews, though? Damn. He sounds like he's THE WORST. Here are some a ton of examples:
Ansel on How Awesome He Is
Ansel on His Totally Chill Dad
Ansel on Being a DJ
Ansel on Being Teased by a Writer

The Interview: Just Twitter
For full context, this was Ansel's response to this piece, in which Grantland's Chris Ryan spent 300 words making fun of the hat Ansel wore to a Knicks game. This tweet is like that time you were 13 and someone at summer camp made fun of you so you went to the head counselor… and then you realized tattling was just going to make lights out worse for you.
