'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' News: Josh Hutcherson Gushes About Jennifer Lawrence [VIDEO]
Josh Hutcherson praised his Hunger Games: Catching Fire co-star Jennifer Lawrence in a recently released Comic-Con video.
Discussing Lawrence's Oscar win for Silver Linings Playbook and her career choices, Hutcherson gushed about his onscreen leading lady in an interview with Extra.
"It was really amazing. I mean, it couldn't happen to a more deserving, nicer, down to earth, like truly talented person," he said, referring to her Oscar win. "I feel like sometimes it can be a fluke, and it's not a fluke. She's legit. The fact that she can go from doing an Academy Award-winning movie to X-Men to Hunger Games. Just, like, the versatility is inspiring."
Hutcherson also talked about what he and Lawrence like to do when they're not filming scenes for Catching Fire.
"We try to do as little as possible because we have to do so much when we're working. When it's us just hanging out, [we're] just relaxing, listening to music, just taking it easy," he said.
