Ansel Elgort doesn't want his private pictures made public
Ansel Elgort has taken steps to ensure he isn't targetted by celebrity hackers.
A group of female stars - including Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton and Kim Kardashian West - were left horrified when private images were taken from their iCloud accounts and posted online, and the subsequent scandal has prompted the 'Divergent' actor to take measures to stay extra safe.
He said: "I immediately turned off my iCloud."
In his new movie 'Men, Women & Children', the 20-year-old star plays an online gaming obsessive and admits the continual playing of 'World of Warcraft' which he did while preparing for the role took him to a "dark place".
He told Buzzfeed News: "It takes you to a f***ing dark place.
"Like, we were at my family's house during Thanksgiving, and just to really feel it out -- and my parents were kind of like, 'What the f**k?' -- I was playing 'World of Warcraft' throughout Thanksgiving weekend, all day, every day.
"At the table, eating, I'd be like, ''Gotta play 'Warcraft', gotta play 'Warcraft'. This sucks. I want to just take this food upstairs and play by myself.' "
The 'Fault in Our Stars' actor is hoping to continue having movie success for a long time and is determined his final work will be his best.
He admitted: "I've joked with myself that I want a post-mortem Academy Award nomination. The last movie I do better be f***ing good."
