It has been a wild ride for Ansel Elgort, who recently starred in two of the bigger young adult adaptations, and has jumped to wild fame. Now the star talks about what the fame has changed for him in his life and how he is dealing with the fans.

Speaking with BuzzFeed on Thursday to promote his new film, Men, Women, and Children, Elgort spoke on his newfound fame thanks to his roles in Divergent and The Fault in Our Stars and how it changed his life.

"When I was doing this movie, my life was very normal. No one knew who I was, and that was awesome. Nobody. Then Divergent came out, and still not very many people knew who I was. There was hype around Fault in Our Stars, so a few people [did]," Elgort said.

"Then Fault came out. You know, the movie's made, like, $300 million worldwide, more than Divergent. And then it was like everyone [knew me] - every young person in the world. I went to Paris. Every young person I passed on the street knew who I was. Which is nuts. Around the world."

He also talked about how his relationships with people changed after his social media platforms blew up with his latest starring roles.

"Um, [it's] great in some ways. Not great in other ways, it changes the way you have relationships with people when all of a sudden, you're famous. But there's definitely ways to have normalcy, and it's so important," he said.

"Because I'm an actor - I'm not just, like, a celebrity - my life needs to stay normal. You can't be a good actor if you get too affected by fame. Because then you're not real and you're not really wanting more. You look at a lot of actors who, before they were famous, did a lot of amazing work, and once they got too big, it just got off."

Elgort will next be seen in Insurgent, which comes out on March 20, 2015.
