A new interview with Josh Hutcherson – who plays Peeta in The Hunger Games – will be available in this week’s new issue of Total Film Magazine.
In anticipation, the publication has released a small preview. Hutcherson discusses the challenges he faced while rehearsing.
Quotage from this report:
“Mentally it was tough because I’d never connected with a character more than I did with Peeta. I felt he was so much like who I am as a person that I was like, “If I don’t get it, I won’t understand.” It drove me crazy.”
And then there’s perhaps an even scarier prospect to contend with: will he be ready if THG does become the next Twilight?
“I’m terrified of what my life could become. As an actor, everyone hopes one day to be that well known but at the same time to be thrust into it instantaneously is overwhelming.
“If it does happen, I’ll be grateful and terrified at the same time.”
