Miles Teller revealed to Variety that kissing Shailene Woodley in the film was not all that glamorous, describing how she had taken supplements before filming a kissing scene and they apparently smelled awful — making Woodley's breath equally smell: "Before our first kissing scene, Shailene took these Chinese dirt supplements and shoved them in her mouth. It's like a dirt pouch, and it smells like crap." So while the bad breath is not a reflection of Woodley's hygiene, maybe she should have saved the supplements for later — or at least brushed her teeth.

Woodley has discussed on "Late Show with David Letterman" that she is no stranger to eating clay, explaining that various cultures ingest it for its health benefits: "Clay is one of my favorites because if you look at indigenous cultures around the world, people are eating clay almost daily. It's just a part of their diet" (via Today). Unfortunately for Teller, Woodley's health consciousness did not make for the best kissing scene partner.
