Liam Hemsworth for Peeta in 'Hunger Games'?
Liam Hemsworth poses for a pic with older brother Chris as they attend the Oakley Party on Main Street during the 2011 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah on Friday (January 21).
The 21-year-old actor stopped by to chat with MTV at the event and expressed his interest in a particular The Hunger Games part — Peeta!
Liam shared, “[It's] A really, really cool story [with] action…gritty kinda stuff like that. [It's] Super dark. It’s all young kids in these Hunger Games, which are crazy, insane things.”
TELL JJJ: Who would you pick to play Peeta?

I prefer Alex pettyfer
HUNTER PARISH OR ALEX PETTYFER!!!!
@Kim:
Right on there!!! Here here
Please no…just no. Hemsworth is wrong on sooo many levels. I also was not that impressed with him in this interview because he’s not very articulate, he can barely string a sentence together in a coherent manner. Miley Cyrus ex-boyfriend?!!?!….as our beloved Peeta?!?!. Logan Lerman or the young guy from the show Weeds.
@Kim @tanya totally agree. Liam is too…big. I don’t know Alex suits the role better.
NO.
i prefer Hunter Parrish. Liam does not fit Peeta’s description and character.
I think someone who is actually 16 should play peeta-I mean that’s kid of a no brainer-_-
He’s cool XD
@Kim:
amen.
oh hell no. he’s not peete or even Gale
NO. He does fit Peeta’s character. We loved Harry Potter so much because the actors were spot on, the Hunger Games should not be any different. It’s what brings audiences in and what makes it so believable. Liam Hemsworth as Peeta just doesn’t work.
GET HIS UGLY ASS OUTTA HERE! Alex Pettyfer would be a better choice! He’s only famous because he dated that Miley girl. -___-
NO! hunter parrish should play peeta
isnt peeta supposed to be what, 16? that guy look too old.
Liam looks really old. Chord Overstreet would be my pick.
I agree with everyone, he’s not the right person. Also he’s too old, So is Hunter Parrish. Peeta is like 16 and isn’t t it awkward/weird ( I assume Hailee Steinfeld will get the role of Katniss) that a 21- year old will be kissing a 14-year old girl ??
I like Liam, but for me, Hunter Parrish is Peeta Mellark. I can’t see anyone else.
heck no. Also, Hailee steinfeld would be awful for Katniss. I think William Mosely, Lucas Till, alex pettyfer, or edward speleers would be good for Peeta.
NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please nooo
He’s wayyy too old and peeta is supposed to be cute
they are both so fugly.
nooo. I really hope they’ll cast unknowns for all of the kids parts. and also ones that actually look like they’re 16…
I’ve always prefered Alex Pettyfer, but he is doing I am Number Four and Beastly, and possibly another franchise, so he most likely will not be Peeta. At least Liam’s showing interest in it. I’d rather them pick somebody that loves the series and does an okay job, rather than somebody that just sees it only as a career move and does an excellent job. Like Kaya Scodelario for instance. She tweeted that she was very excited for it and she’s my number one pick for Katniss. If Alex Pettyfer showed some interest in it, he’d become my number one Peeta too.
Liam would be okay. I could live with it, but Alex Pettyfer is EXACTLY the one way I pictured Peeta. And besides, if u reorganize his name and add and take some words out, it makes PEETA. = Pettyfer
PICK SOMEONE THAT SHOWS INTEREST IN THE BOOKS AND MOVIE!
