The two actors reunited for some 'clean dancing' fun in Italy.

Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley, who starred together in both The Fault in Our Stars and Divergent in 2014, had a fun reunion in Italy.

While spending time together, the duo decided to recreate the iconic scene in Dirty Dancing when Patrick Swayze's character Johnny Castle lifts Jennifer Grey's Frances "Baby" Houseman while dancing to "(I've Had) The Time of My Life."

Elgort posted the final photo, which shows him lifting Woodley outside somewhere in Italy, on his Instagram.

He captioned the picture, "Clean dancing w Shai 💚🇮🇹❤️." 

Their fans absolutely loved the photo, with one saying, "Can I just say how happy this picture makes me?" 

Another wrote, "Hazel and Augustus in another world," imagining their two The Fault in Our Stars characters having a happy ending together.

Along with the fans, a few recognizable names also left comments on the photo, like Paris Hilton, who commented with the heart eyes emoji. 

Woodley shared a few of the early takes at the lift on her Instagram Stories, writing, "took a few tries...but we finally got there."

After starring in The Fault in Our Stars together, Elgort and Woodley co-starred in another film, this time playing siblings in the Divergent film series. Throughout their time on set together, they developed a strong friendship

Speaking with Parade in 2014 for the release of The Fault in Our Stars, the pair revealed more about their relationship and why they clicked so well as actors and friends.

When asked, "What were some of your biggest takeaways about each other as actors?," Woodley said, "Ansel and I work very similarly in the sense that as soon as the camera says action, we’re both very there, but as soon as it says cut, we’re able to bounce back into being ourselves."

Elgort spoke about Woodley's candor and authenticity, saying, "she’s honest with people, there’s no BS and she’s not fake, she’s a real friend because of that to me. I learned a lot about her because she’s so open. She’s a totally open soul to me and I’m a totally open soul to her."
