Elgort is the hot young star of the youth cancer drama, The Fault in our Stars.

    Poor Van Cliburn! The good thing about being obscure is that you’ll never have a biopic made about your life.

    I’m more concerned about Ansel Elgort’s ability to mime playing piano and clinch Cliburn’s accent than how close a resemblance he bears.
