Josh calls into Kentucky Sports Radio

Josh and his mother called into Kentucky Sports Radio yesterday morning to talk about the Cats, causing tweens across the Bluegrass to collapse in front of their radios in a heap of emotions. Josh was born in Union, Kentucky, and is a lifelong Cat fan, “going back generations.” Hutcherson was the celebrity “Y” at the Kentucky/Louisville game in December, and told Matt that it was the highlight of his career:

“That was my single most proud moment that I’ve had as a side effect of my acting career. Absolutely. That’s bigger than any award that I’ve won, anything. That’s literally, it’s always been an absolute dream of mine,” Hutcherson said. “And it was at a Louisville game, too. It was against Louisville! It was a dream.”

By now, you’ve heard that Hutcherson’s Hunger Games co-star Jennifer Lawrence is a Louisville fan. Matt asked Josh what if he and Jennifer talked a lot of trash during the Kentucky/Louisville game last week, and he said no because Jennifer isn’t a true fan like him, you, and me: ”She’s not a fan like I am. She’s a fan by association.”

In fact, Jennifer got so tired of hearing Josh talk trash that she gave him her dad’s phone number so he could banter back and forth with him, the true Louisville fan in the family.

Josh said that he’s not worried at all about Wisconsin: “I’m not so scared of Wisconsin. I don’t know why exactly, I think we’re playing really good right now and I feel Wisconsin’s not going to be a big problem for us.” He added that he thinks Kentucky can also knock off Florida to win #9: “With all the momentum we have coming into in now, we have a good shot at winning it all. I really do believe that.”

Listen to what else Josh had to say when he called into Kentucky Sports radio yesterday:

Josh’s advice to his younger self

If you had the opportunity to give advice to your younger self, what would it be? Well, you may get some ideas from Josh Hutcherson.

After 21 years of experiences, Josh imparts his wisdom on us and it’s the perfect reminder to stay true to ourselves.

1. Do things because you want to do them. “I was bullied, especially when I first said I wanted to be an actor, kids thought I was weird.”

2. Be motivated by passion, not fear. “I want to drive forward with what I want to be doing next.”

3. Heartbreak doesn’t mean failure. “It’s a learning process.”

4. Good friends are worth the wait. “Once you get to that place where you find people you connect with — it’s so much better.”

5. It’s a great thing to be different. “The difference is what leads to greatness.”

Josh wants tattoos “covering every inch of my body”

Josh Hutcherson is hooked on ink. The hunky Hunger Games star, 21, is already tattooed with the libra astrological sign on his wrist, an anchor on his left side and a nautical scene between his shoulder blades, but if the mega-star had his way, he’d get inked in many more visible places. “If I weren’t an actor, I would have tattoos covering every inch of my body,” Hutcherson told Us Weekly of his love for body art.

First getting inked at age 17 — with his mom’s consent — the actor is forced to spend an extra 90 minutes in the makeup chair getting his dye covered up for Peeta Mellark’s shirtless scenes in The Hunger Games film franchise.

Keeping his hot bod in shape by playing basketball five days a week in a variety of leagues, the Union, Ky., native is no stranger to having his chiseled physique eyed by female costars and fans, but the one woman he has eyes for his actress Claudia Traisac, whom he met while filming the upcoming thriller Paradise Lost.

“I’m a hopeless romantic! Hutcherson explains. “But I’m not one to have my feelings and then not do anything about it. I always seem to find a way to show how I feel. I can be quiet and reserved with my friends, but when I need to, I can be big and entertaining.”
