Josh talks “The Hunger Games”; 100 days viral launched!

Celebuzz have kicked off the ‘100 Days ’til the Hunger Games’ viral with an exclusive interview with Josh. In it he talks about his reaction to getting the role, his skill at baking, his relationship to Peeta, the emotional and physical challenges of the film and much, much more! A few snippets from the interview can be read below.

The site also promises more exclusive interviews with Josh and the rest of the cast in the lead up to the March 2012 release of “The Hunger Games”.

On Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss)
“Jennifer’s portrayal of Katniss is so spot on. She really does encapsulate Katniss’ strength as a heroine perfectly. She to me is the one that stands out immediately.”

On who would win a real-life Hunger Games scenario: Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth or himself
“That’s a tough question, honestly. I grew up playing outside, playing in the woods. I’m very into camping and survivalist kinda things. I watch a lot of Man Vs. Wild, so I feel like I’m well prepared in that sense. It would be a close one. I might be a frontrunner in that battle, I’m not sure!”

On baking and grilling
“I can bake. I can bake a mean apple pie. A French apple pie!” Hutchinson proudly added with a big grin on his face. “That’s how good I am. I can bake a little, I made some loaves of bread that weren’t that bad actually. I’m more of a grill master.”

Josh talks romance with Seventeen.com

Age: 18

Hometown: Union, Kentucky

Where You’ll Find Him: In “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island”, with Vanessa Hudgens in theaters February 10, and then starring as Peeta in “The Hunger Games”, in theaters March 23.

On Love at First Sight: “I don’t think I’ve had love at first sight. But, I’ve definitely had moments where I’ve see a person, and I’m like, ‘Wow, there is something different about you, and I really want to get to know you.’ I haven’t really gained up the courage to talk to those girls. I still get a little nervous when talking to girls. Which is awful, and embarrassing, because I feel like I shouldn’t.”

On Peeta’s Love for Katniss: “That kind of love, I haven’t experienced, except with my family, thus far. But, I definitely look forward to the day at one point, where I get to meet a girl where I have the same love for her that I have for my family. Because, that love I have for my family is undying, unconditional. You know my little brother can get pretty hot headed sometimes, and you kind of want to punch him. But, you love them so much you’d do anything for them.”

Official Synopsis
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which Tributes? must fight with one another until one survivor remains.

Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

THE HUNGER GAMES is directed by Gary Ross, and produced by Nina Jacobsons Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. Suzanne Collins best-selling novel, the first in a trilogy published by Scholastic that has over 16 million copies in print in the United States alone, has developed a massive global following.

Lionsgate will release THE HUNGER GAMES on March 23, 2012.
