Josh Hutcherson talks about 'The Hunger Games'
Josh Hutcherson finally gives the "Hunger Games" fans an inside scoop of what they're all dying to hear.
Peeta's kiss with Katniss and the Tracker Jacker scene are just a few inside scoops actor Hutcherson manages to talk about.
Getting a lead role in the highly-coveted film adaptation of Suzanne Collins book, "The Hunger games", is truly a big thing, and for actor Josh Hutcherson, it was the toughest role he had to play. Sure, he gets to play Peeta Mellark from District 12 and act alongside Katniss Everdeen played by Jennifer Lawrence, but the actor says the movie has been insanely "crazy."
"Mentally it was tough because I'd never connected with a character more than I did with Peeta," shares Josh in an interview.
"I felt he was so much like who I am as a person that I was like, 'If I don't get it, I won't understand.' It drove me crazy."
"The Hunger Games," dubbed as the biggest franchise to hit the cinemas after the worldwide phenomena "Harry Potter," is truly one to watch and Josh Hutcherson shares not only his thoughts on the role but a few more behind the scenes.
Shippers of Peeta and Katniss will love to hear about Josh's' thought on the much awaited on screen smooch.
"It's good," shared Josh with a grin at the People's Choice Awards last January 11. Apart from sharing info about the onscreen romance, Josh adds how he managed to make co-star Jennifer Lawrence literally pee her pants with a trailer prank.
"They had a full life-sized dummy of one of our tributes that had gotten killed by a tracker jacker, and basically it's all swollen and gnarly-looking and mangled, and Jennifer was out of her trailer so I took the dummy and put it inside her bathroom in her trailer," said Josh in an interview with MTV.
"I wasn't there for the big moment when she saw it, which I can't believe I missed, but I've been told that she actually peed her pants in reaction to it."
Fans won't be seeing such hilarious antics on the film but they should watch out for the tracker jacker scene which Josh excitedly talks about at the PCA.
"I can't wait for fans to see the tracker jacker scene," said Josh in a post by Celebuzz. "The make up is incredible. The scene is insane."
Those spoilers alone make everyone hunger for more and March cannot be so far away. Fans better get those early tickets by February 22 and "tracker jacker" themselves to the nearest cinema by March 23.
