Meanwhile, Gus's parents are also looking out for him, but Gus Drives Like Crazy, insists on going on a trip without them after finding out his cancer has returned, and carries around unlit cigarettes.

Hazel is extremely relieved when her mother says she's looking into social work to help other families going through a similar situation, and that she will always be Hazel's mom no matter what happens. Later on, in the novel and movie, she screams out in pain and they have to take her to the hospital in the middle of the night, when her dad has to carry her.

Hazel's parents have witnessed their daughter nearly die in the ICU when she was thirteen, and her mother was sobbing that she would no longer be a mom anymore.

She also discusses how most cancer tropes just limit you to a character who exists for their disease to be romanticized.

Adult Fear: Hazel frets about the negative effect that her cancer has on her loved ones, especially her parents.

John Green's cameo as the parent of Jackie, the little girl who wanted to try on Hazel's cannula, was also cut. Some other scenes are also cut to improve the flow (and shorten the length) of the film. Van Houten gives Augustus' eulogy to Hazel personally, while Isaac fills the slightly comedic relief role.

Adapted Out: Minor characters like Kaitlyn, Lydia, and Gus' sisters are not present in the film.

In the movie, she's played by the beautiful Shailene Woodley.

Hazel was also described as being less than supermodel gorgeous, with an overinflated face and badly-cut hair.

Adaptational Attractiveness: Peter van Houten is played by Willem Dafoe in the movie, and unsurprisingly, he's more attractive than the fat and spindly Peter in the book.
