The Ringer asks if Ansel Elgort is A Movie Star. They examine Ansel’s many public personas

Ansel Elgort As a Serious Actor

His star has been firmly on the rise since The Fault in Our Stars. Baby Driver was a step in the right direction. In October 2018 he was cast as Tony in Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of West Side Story.

Verdict: Ansel is a decent actor, but don't count on an Oscar nomination anytime soon.
