Sam Claflin Talks Sugar Cubes and Skimpy Net Outfits
In a new, expanded interview with Sam Claflin, Entertainment Weekly revealed more of their conversation with the British actor playing Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, talking sugar cube scenes and just how skimpy his opening ceremony outfit ended up being.
All this physical prepping so that he wouldn’t let Finnick’s fans down during the infamous sugar cube scene when the character teases Katniss while wearing a strategically placed bit of net. Just how much net he’ll have on remains to be seen. “They did have to tone it down from what it is in the book because they can’t make it too graphic if you know what I’m saying,” he pauses with a sheepish smile. “Because it was just a knot covering his, basically, you know what I’m saying! I was definitely prepared to do anything. But the costumer said ‘Well we can’t have you in nothing’ so I’m kind of covered up.” Still the scene left Claflin feeling rather exposed. “It was the scariest moment of my life,” he says with a laugh. “I’m on Twitter and so many people have been like ‘Don’t mess this up, or we will kill you.’”

ASDKFJDSKFL. SUGAR CUBE SCENE
Can’t wait to see this. Glad to know they kept the outfit as….authentic….as possible
So excited for this scene of course
ahhh! I can’t wait to see sam bring finnick to life!:DD
Words cannot describe how much I love this picture
Agreed.
I was at school when my best friend and fellow tribute showed me the cover of the CF magazine and I screamed. Then she whowed me this one and I think I caused an earthquake.
EEEEEEP
Omg can’t wait to c this scene!!!!!! Also can’t wait to c him kill it in the movie. U got this Sam. Why can’t the movie be out right now I don’t know if I can wait for this long!!!
my favorite part of this interview is when he talks about how pale he is naturally and how annoying the spray tanning process is. as a fellow pasty-pale person, i can relate.
and his comment about the dude who looked like brad pitt in thelma & louise just about made me die laughing. oh, sammy, i do love you. 
(and that picture still makes me swoon even two days after i first saw it. it is so perfect).
@Phoebe: I think everyone’s gonna go insane at the sugar cube scene… me included.
I am kinda glad they covered him up more.
I think Sam Claflin will do the role of Finnick justice, especially after seeing this picture. I just wish people would stop whining about how he doesn’t look sexy enough. Hi acting is more important anyway.
yeah, im not letting my parents take me for this movie. Im just going to go with my friends.
Wow. Screw the people who say Sam isn’t hot enough for Finnick.
Well Sam left me swooning in my seat when he played William in Snow White and the Huntsman and I think he’s very good looking, his pictures as Finnick look great and that picture with Katniss just makes my heart melt as it looks like he has the role down. So excited for Claflin in the role!
Yes @Carla yes! Sam seemed like he was feeling kind of awkward during his interview, trying to say the right thing without being too graphic. We love you, Sam!
