Even more from Jennifer on Josh and Liam!

Inside Movies has released a snippet from their interview with Jennifer Lawrence, where she discusses working with Josh and Liam: their budding friendship on the set of “Hunger Games” and how alike her co-stars are to their designated characters.

“Josh is so charming,” she says. “He’s so charming! And when you read in the books about Peeta being able to manipulate anybody — I mean Josh could get, well, I don’t know a metaphor for [this scenario] except for dirty ones. But he’s charming, he’s sweet, he’s down to earth, he’s normal. He embodies all of it and brings it all to Peeta. So when you meet him he’s got all of these great qualities and every single one of them come across in every line he says out loud as Peeta.” More at the source.
