Josh In Interview Magazine!

Take a look at the amazing photo above in the gallery here!

As a child actor, Josh Hutcherson got his break in family-friendly fare such as The Polar Express (2004), Bridge to Terabithia (2007), and Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008). But in Lisa Cholodenko’s new summer comedy The Kids Are All Right, he finally gets togrow up, playing the son of a same-sex couple (Julianne Moore and Annette Bening), who tries to convince his sister (Mia Wasikowska) to help him find their sperm-donor dad (Mark Ruffalo). The 17-year-old Kentucky-born Hutcherson was 4 when he announced to his parents that he was going to be an actor, and although he’s been working since he was 9, he still holds a rather ingenuous view of fame: “It magnifies who you are, just as long as you don’t let it change you,” he says. Hutcherson’s favorite off-camera role is playing host to friends at his L.A. pad. “It’s like a small hostel,” he admits. “People just come over.” Most nights, Hutcherson whips up his signature “Hutch” burger—“a masterpiece” of meat, jalapeños, and aged cheese. Hutcherson needs the fuel for his other hobbies: soccer, kickboxing, tumbling, and free-running. Later this year, he’ll get a chance to showcase his athletic chops in the highly anticipated reboot of the 1984 Commie-invasion cult classic Red Dawn, in which he will play Robert, the character played by C. Thomas Howell in the original.

Josh Hutcherson a New Spider-Man Candidate?

Josh Hutcherson (Cirque du Freak) is reportedly on the short list to play the lead in Marc Webb’s reboot of the Spider-Man franchise. We previously reported that Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson) almost had the gig and then learned that he was never anywhere close to the gig. IESB (who are probably still doing a touchdown dance over breaking the Joss Whedon-Avengers story) reports that Hutcherson has been bulking up lately but more importantly, he fits the criteria for the new Spidey actor: “young, unknown, cheap” (a description which disturbingly also fits dead hookers).

Hit the jump for my positive reaction to the possibility of casting Hutcherson as the new Peter Parker.

Unlike Lerman, who did nothing to wow me in Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, I’ve been liking Hutcherson for the past several years. I think he did great work in Zathura, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and he was one of the few good things in Cirque du Freak. IESB also says Hutcherson has received rave reviews for his performance in the hit Sundance film The Kids Are All Right. Finally, Hutcherson is co-starring in the upcoming Red Dawn remake which is due out in theaters this November.

My one reservation about Hutcherson is that of the characters I’ve seen him play, they all have a bit of an edge to them. Peter Parker isn’t an edgy character. He’s not bland, but he is straight-laced and nerdy. I can still see Hutcherson in the role, but if he gets the part, it will be interesting to see how his approach will differ from his past work, let alone stepping out from Tobey Maguire’s massive shadow.
