In a 2012 Vogue interview, Elgort reflected on accompanying his dad during photo shoots when he was growing up.
'My dad would throw me in the picture if they needed an extra. From an early age, I understood the concept that, if you're not the star, then your job is to not pull attention away from the star,' he said.
In 2013 he showed off his acting chops in the film adaptation of Carrie, based on the well-known Stephen King book.
He was later cast as Caleb Prior in the Divergent movie series.
The lifelong performer trained as a dancer at the School of American Ballet before graduating from LaGuardia High School.
