During the show, Elgort shared some stories from the 2015 Oscars, where he presented the award for Best Visual Effects. It turns out he was very happy with Interstellar‘s win in that category, for a very simple reason:
The 20-year-old actor followed the lead of many other prominent Hollywood stars and brought his mom to the show, but it sounds like the experience was a little lost on her.
Elgort shares stories of how she met celebrities and had no idea who they are, like Steve Carell. Worst was probably when she met Bruce Willis, however; after asking him his name, she wanted to know his profession and how that acting thing was going for him.

Willis, ever the class act, took it in stride. “It’s going pretty good,” was apparently his response, according to Elgort.
Ansel Elgort’s latest movie, Insurgent, hits cinemas on March 20. It stars Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Maggie Q, Miles Teller, Naomi Watts, Kate Winslet, Jai Courtney and Zoë Kravitz. Newcomers to the saga include Octavia Spencer and Daniel Dae Kim.
