Jennifer and Josh talk ‘Catching Fire’ Q&A

The two stars of ‘Catching Fire’ recently talked to OTRC.com about Katniss and Peeta’s relationship, what part of the games were the most intense to film and a little rumor about Lawrence bringing her Oscar on set. Check it out below!

The romance between Katniss and Peeta because it comes so perfectly … throughout the movie. Do you agree?
Hutcherson: “I actually don’t agree. I think it’s been a really kind of tumultuous, kind of up and down rollercoaster sort of situation. I think their love is far from a perfect coming of, you know.”
Lawrence: “Maybe perfect for the film, the way that it develops.”
Hutcherson: “Maybe perfect for the movie, but for them I think they could imagine it a lot differently, especially Peeta.”
Lawrence: “I think that if Peeta and Katniss were here they would disagree that it was perfect. ‘This is hard.'”

What part of the games this year is most intense?
Lawrence: “I also just think the entire idea of the games, you know, that these aren’t new tributes like in the first ‘Hunger Games’ it’s everybody’s first time, these are all people who have won. They’re very dangerous and the ravine itself is a weapon. If I had to choose a segment to not be a part of…”
Hutcherson: “Monkeys. Right?”
Lawrence: “Monkeys, but there’s also the fog and we mustn’t forget about the wave. How can you survive a wave?”
Hutcherson: “You climb a tree or something.”
Lawrence: “You can run away from a monkey, you can run away from fog, you can’t run away from a giant wave. You can surf it. Surf’s up, brah.”

Jen, Josh, and Liam answer fan questions

As part of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’s Global Fan Day, the movie’s three leads — Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth — and its director, Francis Lawrence, answered fan questions in a Google Hangout.

Here are some of the most interesting and hilarious revelations from the no-holds-barred chat:

Jennifer’s favorite scene in one in which Peeta is knocked unconscious and Katniss and Finnick (Sam Claflin) both try to resuscitate him. “Sam gives him mouth-to-mouth,” she says. “I just kiss him.”

Josh was surprised by how emotional the film is, even in the scenes he thought would be all action.

If she were a tribute trying to impress sponsors, Jen says she could do an infinite number of cartwheels. “And I think I’d probably get a zero”

Jen and Francis say that Josh is an absurdly-good dancer.

Josh’s weirdest fan interaction just happened yesterday, November 5, as he ate a cheeseburger in a restaurant. He says that a man approached him and said, “Hey, I don’t like any of your movies.”

Who’s the better kisser in Jen’s opinion: Josh or Liam? “You know I could never do that!” she replies. “They’re both really good kissers. How ’bout we have them kiss each other and then decide?”

Josh reveals Jennifer Lawrence is a ‘great kisser’

Josh has revealed that Jennifer Lawrence is a top-notch kisser.

Asked if his love scenes with J-Law had given him high expectations from his real-life dates, he responded: “I understand that. She’s definitely many a man’s desire. For me, she’s like a best friend and a sister, so it’s a little bit incestuous. But she’s a great kisser – so, yup, the bar is high!”

But J-Hutch was confident in his own snogging skills too, when asked to rate them.

“On a scale of one to 10, I could be in the upper nines. Eight-and-three-quarters to nine-and-a-half. God, just give a regular answer! Why do I have to be so complicated?”

Josh also confirmed that he’s not afraid to put out on the first date, if he thinks a girl is really special.

Asked where he’d take a love interest on a date, he replied: “Going to the movies or to dinner is fine. But for something special, it has to be spontaneous. For me, it’d be getting on my motorcycle and driving up the coast to a hotel on the beach.”

And when asked how far he’d go, he suggested that he’s not afraid of getting hot-and-heavy on the first night.

“Man, it depends. I’m not one to stick to traditional ways – so, if everything is perfect and it feels right, we could go all the way. To get to that point, I would have to think that she’s really amazing, so going home together wouldn’t change that. And I would hope that she was feeling the same about me.”

The full interview with Josh appears in the December issue of Cosmopolitan, on sale today (Thursday, November 7).

Us Weekly’s ‘Catching Fire’ Collector’s Edition

For those Hunger Games fanatics out there, Us Weekly has volunteered as tribute to provide the latest gossip on the film’s upcoming sequel Catching Fire. The special collector’s edition features all things Panem, including exclusive interviews with the film’s stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Sam Clafin, and Jena Malone.

For those disappointed with the lack of romance in the first installment, fear not! Hutcherson, 21, who plays tribute Peeta Malark, tells Us, “The kissing scenes are really hot!”

Peeta fell for Katniss Everdeen (played by Lawrence, 23) in the first film, but later learned that she played up her emotions for the cameras to help keep them alive in the arena. Peeta is hurt by Katniss’ lack of emotion, and that will drive much of their characters’ stories in Catching Fire.

“Peeta and Katniss’ relationship is not all good. But you get to see more of it — which I like a lot,” Hutcherson reveals.

“I have the best friends in the world, and they’re all so smart! They’re like the next generation of extremely talented filmmakers, which is cool to be friends with.”

So…About That Awkward Kiss With JLaw:
“That was kind of a mutual situation. I mean, it was her snot and slobber on my face. I didn’t even realize what was going on while we were filming it, but when I watched it in playback, there was like a slobber string and it was gross!”

Josh covers November issue of Seventeen magazine

Josh is the cover star of November issue of Seventeen magazine. You can see preview of the cover and outtakes from the shoot in our gallery. Inside the magazine Josh opens up about Jennifer Lawrence, girl friends, girlfriends, and more. Below you can read some highlights from the interview!

On who is funnier on set, himself or Jennifer Lawrence?
“We have this debate all the time—I think it’s me! This sounds mean, but its true, and Jennifer would agree. Her thing is being shocking, goofy, and silly—which is amazing, and it takes a talented person to do that. I like to be more clever and witty. But if you had to go on who gets more laughs, I’d say she’d be the winner.”

On whether he’s dated girls with the wrong intentions:
“Definitely. I was blind at first by looks, by love, whatever. I’ve been known to fall hard and quick for girls, which I think is better than not falling at all.”

On whether he’s ever had his heart broken:
“I think getting broken up with is worse than breaking up with somebody… For me it hurts more when you’re ready for something to keep going and the other person isn’t.”

On having girl friends:
“I think the most important thing is being upfront about what the relationship is. If I just want to be friends with a girl, I’ll establish that early on by talking about other girls, so she know that I’m not interested in her like that.”

On making a relationship work:
“I’m good at fighting. Not that I like to fight, but when there’s a disagreement, I’m good at finding a solution, or knowing when to just let it go and make up.”
