Jennifer Lawrence Defends Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson
PEETA (Josh Hutcherson): “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.”
GALE (Liam Hemsworth): “Liam is just a solid brick of muscle and you look at him and you’re like ‘Oh, okay great!’” she says. “But he’s got depth and he’s interesting but at the same times he’s natural and he flows.”
Agree, agree!
Ha, she loves a dirty joke. This girl is cool
Can’t wait to see Josh as Peeta
can’t see all of them az The Hunger Games characters
* can’t wait to see al of them as The Hunger Games characters
There’s a new, recent pic of Josh and Liam floating around, if you’re interested. It says they’re at Leven Rambin’s birthday party. Not the best quality (and it’s too dark to really see his hair) but cool!
now i really cant wait 2 c them all!!!! this will b a great movie 4 sure!!!!!!!
Josh is hilarious in his recent interviews! And Liam isn’t as bad an actor as everyone thinks he is. As a human being, he’s probably just as decent as ourselves. I’m glad that Jen supports the filmmakers’ decisions.
Jen looks possesed in that picture…o.o
Jenn is great but looks her age, 20 not 16 oh well i can’t do anything about it.. she should get bangs, it’ll make her look younger anyone agree?
@Bella: Um, how does she looked possessed? She’s just smiling.
I personnaly like the cast i think the movie will b great
i want to see them!
i personally like the cast… there how i seen them wheni read the boook..its how i pictured the in my head..adn if u see that she lost weght in her face any one else see that??? and also i’m glad she is defendign them bcuz so many people think they wil to a bad job but there going to do awesome!!!
<3
i dont really like josh as peeta
i like jen MUCH better as a brunette
thank good ness she died her hair!
I agree w Alys she looks much better w dark hair color
she looks way better with dark hair!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait for the movie!! My mom says i’m obsessed!!!!!
Aw…that’s so sweet! So like Katniss!
Eghh. The movie could have been batter. But I’m not complaining
Oh, here her eyes to me seem very grey, wonder if shes wearing contacts…anyways I think all three of them are going to be completely amazing!
It’s cool that Jen seems to be fond of her co-stars, but especially of Josh. Methinks they have high respect for each other (from the way she speaks highly of them), which I believe is a great way to start a working relationship.
Awesome! Can’t wait for the movie! Who is with me!? xD Anyway I think Jen will do fine don’t worry
I mean did you see her on X-men first class. i think she did goode 
josh and jen are sooooooo gonna get together. just wait
Love how she defends her Castmates!!! Shes awesome glad she agreed to be Katniss
May the Hunger Games Begin!!!! ^_^
That’s very sweet of her. And I’m not worried about the cast, just the script. I think they’re doing a great job in picking the right people carefully.
Just please stick to the book! Cut out stuff that’s expendable or could be joined with something else, but don’t do anything too drastic. Please? haha
Imagine how truly horrifying the movie would have been ifthere were actually teenagers in it. God damn another book ruined
I love that she’s defending her castmates! How can anyone say Josh is an awful Peeta when the only people who have seen him act the part of Peeta say he’s absolutely perfect?!
And I know I keep saying this… but I’m SO excited for this movie!!!
Aw I’m really excited to see all three on screen <3
Im so over people giving sh*t about the cast, bc of hair color or not being tan enough. Its called hair dye and a spray tan. Look at them for what they can do as actors!
Is Jennifer Lawrence really going out with Nicholas Holt!!! If not, her and Josh should totally hook up haha
Who agrees with me that Josh and Jen can make beautiful babies?!
)
I’m happy with Josh as Peeta. Always have been. My opinion on him won’t change until I see him actually play the part. Same goes with Jenn and pretty much everyone else in the movie. Because honestly, I care more about the movie and the essence of the characters than the physical appearance.
i dont like josh at all, he´s not cute
i guess liam is okay
What she says about Josh just validates a lot of the things that his former co-workers have said about him (down to earth, charming, etc). But it’s pretty cool to hear it coming from Jennifer herself. Looking forward to seeing how they’d bring Peeta and Katniss to life.
Can people stop mentioning the never-going-to-exist babies of Jen and Josh? I think they’ll be cute together as friends. It’s sweet how she defends Josh and Liam.
@Confused: So you don’t remotely like him soley because you don’t think he is cute? That’s totally not shallow at all.
oh they should just date already
they are all chosen because they have (hopefully ;p xp) a couple characteristics from their characters in the book. so just doooo it (;, great luck
Ummm she actually defends Josh’s acting capabilities… and then mentions that Liam’s hot.
Ahhahaha! Well I like Josh and I realllllyyy hope he’s a good Peeta cause he seems so down to earth and all these opinions of him just prove it. Haha, yeah she didn’t have much to say about Liam, but I’m giving them all the benefit of the doubt till I see them act. I seriously can’t imagina seeing millions of people and having to pick one Katniss, one Peeta and one Gale that would be good for the roles, while worrying about pleasing the fans. I just couldn’t do it. Casting people, my faith is in you!!
