Ansel Elgort Trends On Twitter; Read Why

It seems like Ansel Elgort, 26, doesn’t quite understand the realm of rabid online fanbases! After re-tweeting a post that read, “@Harry_Styles you don’t know how happy you make me everyday. I wish I can meet you one day and hug you, follow me please? i love you!” the Divergent actor shared couldn’t resist sharing this thoughts on the post. “Ppl r legitimately crazy on this app,” he wrote back on Wednesday, May 6.

“I mean it’s harry styles,” another fan tried to reason. “He’s [sic] not even on here,” the New York native then tweeted, adding, “Why [does] everyone think crazy is bad?” To clarify, the former One Direction member is actually on Twitter with a verified account, however, the majority of the posts appear to be by his team to promote his music or make announcements. 

The reaction was an odd one from Ansel, who rose to fame as part of the Divergent films, based on a popular series of young adult fiction books. The movie, which was followed by sequels Insurgent and Allegiant, was well-known for having a rabid teen fanbase of their own! “I used to use twitter to follow stans,” the actor then admitted in a follow-up post.

Ansel made his return to Twitter on May 5, taking a nearly two-year break from the social media platform (prior to May 5, his last post was from 2018). It’s unclear what prompted the Fault In Our Stars actor to get back online, but we’re guessing that he might be bored in quarantine. Fan reaction to Ansel’s savage tweet quickly made the moment viral, with some hilarious responses! 

Shortly after the shocking Harry Styles comment, Ansel appeared to reveal that he was a stan himself for none other than Billie Eilish, 18! “can u tell your only stans to stream this?” Billie fan @xannyvault begged, including an amazing video of the singer performing “8” off her latest album when we all fall asleep, where do we go? Retweeting the video, Ansel declared, “god i love her.”

Ansel Elgort was also trending on Twitter on Mar 31. Basically, someone shared some paparazzi photos of Ansel taking a shirtless beach stroll in a pair of blue shorts. 

However, Ansel's loose shorts outlined his bulge. There wasn't just one photo, though, the Twitter account (named @anselsthirdleg. I-) actually blessed us all with an entire thread of images dedicated to Ansel's bulge. From Speedos to board shorts and even a tuxedo.

The 26-year-old also posted a photo of himself nude in the shower on his verified Instagram account Tuesday, but he did it for a good cause. The "Fault in Our Stars" actor wrote "OnlyFans LINK IN BIO" in the photo's caption.

That link took followers to a GoFundMe page for fellow actor Jeffrey Wright's Brooklyn For Life! the fundraiser which is seeking to feed those on the frontlines of the fight against Covid-19.

"Sorry if I offended anybody but we did a good thing," the actor said. "And my dad took the picture by the way. He was mad, he said that I needed to give him credit."

As of Wednesday the fund had raised more than $211,000.
