Josh Hutcherson Reveals He Reunited with Jennifer Lawrence Over The Summer

Josh Hutcherson had a mini The Hunger Games reunion this summer!

The 27-year-old actor recently revealed he met up with his former co-star Jennifer Lawrence a few months ago.

“I saw Jen during quarantine — got to have dinner together,” he told ET. “It was like mid-summer maybe [and] we had a nice socially-distanced dinner together. [It] was good to catch up with her because she’s been off living her life in other places all over the world.”

Josh added that he hasn’t seen Liam Hemsworth since the end of 2019, but added of his co-stars that, “No matter how much time passes, once we see each other again, it’s instantly right back to where it was.”

Josh also opened up about if he would join the upcoming Hunger Games prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

“I don’t know anything about it story-wise, but if it has to do with how we got to the world of the Hunger Games, then I think that’s going to be super-interesting,” Josh said. “I would like Peeta to be in it because I would like to be with these people again and work more in that world.”

“100%, that would be great,” he added. “I love that whole cast and crew. If they can get some of the same people involved, [I would do it] no question.”

Josh Hutcherson Opens Up About Why 'The Hunger Games' Was So Different Than Anything He's Done

Josh Hutcherson Opens Up About Why 'The Hunger Games' Was So Different Than Anything He's Done

Josh Hutcherson is opening up about his experience working on The Hunger Games movies.

The 27-year-old actor starred as Peeta Mellark in the film series, and recently dished on how it shaped the way he thinks about taking on future roles.

“It was worlds apart from anything I have ever experienced. It’s like a double-edged sword,” he told EW. “Obviously the benefit of having more projects come your way is great. But when I set out to become an actor at 8, being famous and being recognized was not on my radar. I just wanted to make movies.”

“That naiveté followed me until The Hunger Games slapped me in the face. It’s hard for anybody to digest, especially being a kid from Kentucky,” he continued.

“It made me realize the kind of actor I wanted to be. The idea of doing big, big projects that make you even more well-known doesn’t sound as appetizing. If that opportunity came up again, I would have to think about it more,” Josh said.
