Scan and transcript courtesy of JHutcherson.net. Josh’s “Hunger Games” co-star Liam Hemsworth, who plays Gale Hawthrone, was also included in the September issue.
This Kentucky boy is unfailingly polite, tight with his family, and a complete sucker for romance. Are you in love yet?
We want to ask you the same thing we asked Liam: If you guys were fighting over a girl, who would win?
Let’s be honest, his Australian accent kills it. It’s an unfair advantage! I’d give the lady points straight to Liam. Liam is epic, man.[Seventeen asked Liam, “In The Hunger Games, your character and Josh Hutcherson’s character fight for the same girl. Who would win in real life?!?” Liam said, ‘Josh is a pretty charismatic dude, so he’d probably win. I’m not that good at talking to girls! Honestly, he’s persuasive. I listen to him talk a lot, and he’s smart, he’s funny… He could convince me to do anything!’]
In Hunger Games, your character is totally in love with Katniss, even when she’s cold to him. Can you relate?
I feel like every relationship I get into ends up being like that! I’m someone who can fall in love at the drop of the hat. My parents raised me to be very accepting of other people, so because of that, I feel like I might be overly accepting of girls. If a girl shows any interest, I’m like, ‘Yes! I love you, you’re amazing!’Well what about your Journey 2 costar, Vanessa Hudgens? You’re dating, right?
Oh, boy. I don’t kow if ‘dating’ is the right word. She’s awesome. We love being together. When I first met her, we just really hit it off. We could be goofy and silly and not worry about anything except having fun. I adore her.Do you have a ‘type’?
I like girls I can have deep conversations with. The meaning of life and existence – you can go on forever about that stuff. When girls play the ditzy-dumb thing, I’m like, ‘Oh, God, please stop.’“The perfect date is going to the beach, sitting under the stars, and listening to music. The cliches are cheesy, but I love them!“

A new photo of Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark has come available online recently, thanks to weepinglily at tumblr. In other “Hunger Games”-related news, we’ve replaced the first photo of Josh as Peeta with a high quality version, and you can check that out in the galleries.
Suzanne Collins and Gary Ross have sat down with Entertainment Weekly and spoken about their adaptation and casting process. This transcript was featured in the latest ‘Entertainment Weekly’ editorial with Josh and Liam portraying Peeta and Gale; scans, and more, can be seen in our previous update.
Each bit of casting news has been met with a real roar from the fans. How are you both handling that? Did you expect such outrage?
SC: Any time you read a book and get attached to the characters, to me it’s always a shock when it goes from page to screen and it’s not exactly what was in my head or what I was imagining it should be. So there’s always that period of adjustment. But I think we feel so solid about our casting choices, and so thrilled that we’ve gotten these three young people in those roles, that nothing can really eclipse it.GR: I really agree with Suzanne that it’s wonderful that people have such a vivid image of Katniss and Peeta and Gale and they hold it so dearly. But Suzanne and I have the advantage of having seen these guys audition for these roles, and I would never judge any role or any actor until I’ve seen them perform it.
SC: And you know people may get thrown, say, by the color of an actor’s hair or maybe something physical, but I tell you: If Josh had been bright purple and had had six foot wings and gave that audition, I’d have been like “Cast him! We can work around the wings.” He was that good. That role is so key to have a boy that can use language. That’s how Peeta navigates the world, that’s his gift, and Josh was the one who could bring that to life in such a real and natural way.
GR: I remember Suzanne was actually in the room the day Josh came in and read for the first time. After the reading, we looked at each other, we didn’t even have to say anything, because we both were like “Wow, that’s it.” Literally he walked out of the room and we high-fived.
SC: We did. We didn’t even say anything. We just turned to each other and high-fived. And people should know that of course we’re taking the gravest care in casting these characters. It’s not arbitrary. It’s of the utmost importance to us that we get the actors who can best bring these characters alive on the screen. Every one of those kids earned those roles by virtue of the auditions they gave. Those three kids? They were all our first choice.
GR: We’ve seen Liam and we’ve seen Josh Hutcherson be Gale and Peeta, respectively.
SC: And then we also had the luxury of getting to see them perform with Jen. So then you have a whole other level which is the chemistry between the characters. We can tell you it’s there but you’ll have to see it for yourself. Read more at the source.
