Josh Hutcherson appears in the November issue of Out magazine to promote his role as Peeta in Catching Fire. I find him so much more desirable than his male co-star, Liam Hemsworth. Not only that but Peeta seems like a much better partner than judgmental ol’ Gale. I like how Josh is so short and completely owns it. He’s way shorter than Jennifer Lawrence, and he’s not piling on the lifts on the red carpet. Short guys can be really hot if they wear their height with confidence. Take that, Tom Cruise.
Josh is a big campaigner for gay rights. He had two uncles who died from AIDS, and he delivered a wonderful speech about them at a GLAAD ceremony. He also spoke out against the Boy Scouts’ gay ban. Now he’s sitting down with Out for a very interesting conversation:
His orientation: “I would probably list myself as mostly straight. Maybe I could say right now I’m 100% straight. But who knows? In a f—ing year, I could meet a guy and be like, Whoa, I’m attracted to this person. I’ve met guys all the time that I’m like, Damn, that’s a good-looking guy, you know? I’ve never been, like, Oh, I want to kiss that guy. I really love women. But I think defining yourself as 100% anything is kind of near-sighted and close-minded.”
Sex is funny: “Sometimes the rhythm isn’t right or you’re trying to make a new position work and it really doesn’t, and you have to laugh.”
He cofounded youth org Straight But Not Narrow: “Sometimes it’s frustrating to comprehend how people are not OK with it. If you can try to tell me how it’s hurting you, you’re crazy. You’re absolutely crazy. Like, what do you mean it’s not natural? Even if–even if, which, I disagree, but even if–why the f— do you care?”
He wants a Hunger Games threesome: “I know Peeta would be into it, for sure. He’s very sensitive, in touch with his emotions. I think it really might solve a lot of their problems. You know what? I’m going to pitch that idea. Let’s make it a–what’s it called when three people are in a relationship together? A triad?” He rolls his eyes at his own enthusiasm. “That’ll go over well with Middle America.”
The future is bright: “I have this dream that one day, my kid’s gonna come home from school and be like, ‘Dad, there’s this girl that I like, and there’s this guy that I like, and I don’t know which one I like more, and I don’t know what to do.’ And it’d just be a non-issue, like, ‘Which one is a good person? Which one makes you laugh more?'”
His nude internet pics: “I find it so shocking still that nakedness is so shocking.”

LOL at Josh’s blase attitude towards his nude photos. Have you seen them? Google them if you so desire. They’re pretty flattering pics for wang shots. I’m not usually into wang shots (especially the guys who try to make themselves look bigger by putting the camera on the floor), but Josh looks good. He could teach a class in wang shots.

Ugh, the chin pubes are gross but otherwise I like the photoshoot and the interview. I am totally down with Hunger Games threesome. Tho I’d probably be bored stiff by Liam, I mean Gale.
You don’t like facial hair? I love facial hair.
Wow, I didn’t know Josh had a personality. He’s my new crush! Off to go find those dick pics!
… oh, apparently we don’t know whether that’s actually him. 😐 Oh well.
I dont like THIS facial hair. That’s chin pubes. And UGH, the neck! Gross.
Now THIS is nicely done: http://www.mikethefanboy.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/chris-hemsworth-gq-australia-04a.jpg
Now, Anna – that’s just not fair.
I know, I know. But it’s good to at least aspire to greatness 🙂
PS – thank you for the lovely compliment yesterday. There will definitely be a Part II (it’s drafted), and I am sure that living in Russia will provide material for Parts III etc at some point 🙂
@Anna LOL! Low blow but I kinda like it on the Aussie
Anna – you are most welcome. It was a really good post – I passed you around yesterday… I would have commented on your post as well but I thought some ladies here would really enjoy reading it.
*waves* Hey V4 – how have you been?
When you say you ‘passed me around’ I imagined some fun games at Thornfield…
And your comments are always not just welcome, but hotly awaited for 🙂 (On anything, really. Your brain is a [very twisted] national treasure).
Eh, I could deal with chin pubes, everything else considered. They’re just chin pubes. 😛
I’m in love
Wow. What an amazing interview and a fresh attitude. It completely compensated for his acting skills.
Was he naked in a movie or were the pics meant to be private?
I believe the pictures were found on a dating/hook-up website but I am not 100% sure. It wasn’t for a movie, I know that much.
Way to go for common sense, bluntly expressed. I like him now, even though I disliked the Hunger Games film in such an immoderate way.
“Not nearly as bad as Twilight” – everyone
Lenny Kravitz and Woody Harrelson are standouts.
AGREED!
Wait for Philip Seymour Hoffman!!
@Sixer
I loved the books but disliked the film. It’s nice to see someone else not be nuts about the film. Out if curiosity — why didn’t you like it?
He looks good! I really like him, but I didn’t love Peeta in the movie. I feel like they made him seem weak but he wasn’t in the book.
He looks hot!!! Mmm.
The book was waaaaaay better than the movie. I was so disappointed in the movie.
I hated the end of the movie. It was like they were experienced a stroll together, not like they almost died, he lost a foot and they are both pretty damaged then.
Also his role was tiny in the film. And like you said, he’s actually pretty strong in the books. I have to read them again, they are so much better!
I don’t think I’ve seen him in anything, and looks-wise he never really registered on my radar, but this interview makes me love him instantly!
He also looks great in the photos (and I NEED that jacket) but his words make him really stand out.
I’m with you. Suddenly I find him attractive and intriguing whereas before he did nothing for me.
+1
he always comes across as such a try hard
Totally agree. I don’t care what his stance is on anything, but I’m turned off by how hard he tries to get himself out there, to get himself noticed. The hustle shows too much.
He sounds so self-confident and intelligent-very nice!
Standing ovation for Josh!
Good for him. He’s got strong ideals and opinions. I like it when people say what they stand for instead of trying to be neutral to avoid conflict.
That said, a guy like him would be a little too open-minded for me to date him. Friends? Absolutely. Potential romantic partner? No. I have a preference for guys who are fine with labeling themselves 100% straight! (You can declare you’re straight and still support gay rights..)
It’s unfortunate that you think it’s okay to be casually homophobic like this. How does whether he’s also attracted to the same sex or not affect his eligibility as a romantic partner?
so it’s “casually homophobic” to want to date a straight person if im a straight person? Guess none is allowed preferences that don’t agree with yours. idiot. This is why most of middle America, especially Christians, don’t even take gay rights seriously enough to care about it.
I don’t think it’s labeled homophobic to have a list of things you want in your potential partner. There are some things people just can’t deal with and are they are well within their rights to feel that way. Some gay people only want to be with someone who has never been with the opposite sex. So how is it not ok for someone who is straight to basically ask for the same? Everyone needs to stop looking for reasons to be hurt about everything and throwing terms that could really damage a person’s character so freely.
I am the same way I will only date men who are not bi-curious in any way. It is a personal preference and no liberal is going to make me feel bad about it. People have their preferences towards lots of things and it doesn’t make you homophobic if you Donny want to date bi-sexual people and it doesn’t make you a racist if you don’t date other races. I was crushing on Josh big time after the hunger games and wishing for the first time that I was about 14 or so years younger. Got over it though but he is still cute.
I’m not judging anyone’s desire to be with only straight partners just as I’m not judging anyone’s desire to only date blondes as this is a matter of preferences, but I am curious as to why this is such an issue to many people.
Why is it off-putting if a potential partner has been attracted to both sexes? Why does it matter, if during your relationship he/she is only going to be with you?
In a way that IS a little bit homophobic and I don’t see how you could argue that it’s not. If you really think about it.
People say they have preferences all the time, as you made an example of, blondes. If someone only dated blondes and never gave a brunette or a red head a chance then that’s one thing. However if you say something but you could get over it than it’s different. My guy had a type, short, tan and brunette. Instead he got me, pale, on the taller side and red headed. He didn’t make those traits an absolute no. I consider myself to be some one who only wants to be with someone who identifies as straight but if he came to me tomorrow and said he had sex with a guy (before we were together) I wouldn’t end it, it would be weird but I love him. I think some people’s turn off comes from fear, not a homophobic fear but a fear of what if you one day your partner realizes that they do want to be with the same sex again, where does that leave you? I can tell you from personal experience that when your guy (my ex) has certain desires and you can’t fulfill them it hurts the relationship, nothing homophobic about it.

“There are some things people just can’t deal with and are they are well within their rights to feel that way.”
Okay. Just swap your racial/ethnic minority of choice for “bi”/”gay” and consider Greyson’s statement again.
If you refuse to date someone just because they’re bi, it’s the same as refusing to date someone for any other unimportant detail.
There’s a difference between preference and prejudice.
Nono – It may be an “unimportant detail” to you but that’s YOUR OPINION.
For me it’s a DEALBREAKER. We all have the right to decide what are deal breakers for relationships are!
I find it ironic, that in your quest to declare anyone who doesn’t share your views on this homophobic, you’re the one actually being intolerant..
I know several guys who claim they are “100% straight” who sleep with men.
Then they would be in denial.
My point was your man saying he is Straight doesn’t mean he is straight.Half of amateur Gay sex videos on Xtube and other free porn sures feature “straight ” guys having sex with guys. So if you think a guy is straight simply because he claims to be YOU are also in denial.
…or maybe he really IS straight?
Acting like straight people don’t exist isn’t really better than acting like bisexual or homosexual people don’t exist. It’s a bit insulting actually.
Seriously? Well my fiancé claims he is straight so I guess I’m in denial because I believe him. The gay sex videos on paid sites is a little bit different. Those are guys who would sell whatever to make a buck. Just like all the girls who sleep with each other for a paycheck. Not all of them are gay but they’ll do whatever as long as they get their check. I wouldn’t classify most of the population as a small group of fame and money hungry xxx stars. And the guys that watch those are usually gay guys or closeted gay guys so that example doesn’t really work.
Maybe he is straight Maybe he is not Maybe he is faithful Maybe he is not. As for the sex videos they are amateur sex videos.Not gay for pay videos.These are guys who have girlfriends,wives who claim to be straight.They have sex with guys they meet on CL,,grindr,jackd,at work,at college,etc.I’m sure they have told theirs wives or girlfriends that they are 100% straight and that they are faithful. As I am sure almost every person who is cheating with either sex claims they are faithful.
Personally I would prefer a Guy to say I’m Bisexual or Bi Curious and be telling the truth than to find he wasn’t 100% Straight layer. To each his Own
Then they are still gay guys. Whether they are in denial or on the DL doesn’t really matter but they are gay. If you have a good relationship you can be 100% open and honest with that person and take what they say and believe it. If your partner is able to get away and make sex tapes (regardless of the sex of the other person) that they know will go on the internet that could destroy their partner to see it or find out about it that speaks volumes about the character of that person and their relationship. It is absolutely acceptable for someone to say I am 100% straight just as it is absolutely acceptable to say I am 100% gay. If you can say you knew you were gay since you were 5 than you can say I knew I was straight too then, yeah?
Theoriginalkit. – I could not agree with you more. Many of the homosexual people I have had conversations with like to say no one is 100% straight. I disagree and find it insulting for you just as people who claim I am making a choice insult me. I have had many heated arguments with people from “my own team” over this (and many other things often associated with the “gays”) because I am GAY no question, no wavering and if I am as gay as I know myself to be I do not doubt that my STRAIGHT friends are as equally straight!
@Sonya-Exactly. Someone wouldn’t accuse a gay person of cheating on their mate with someone of the opposite gender because it’s assumed that if you’re gay, then it’s a definite. Yet somehow being straight is an “unknown”?
Just be fair, people.
My husband is only gay for Antonio Banderas. I’m fine with that.
If I may, I am a married lesbian, but back in the days of dating I avoided girls who were bi or identified as anything less than homosexual. I just did not want the questions to pop up over time or to be in love and have a partner not fully satisfied with what we had. I have many friends who dated bi girls who figured out a year or two into the relationship that they were not happy with only girls. Ideally it shouldn’t matter, like if you are in a monogamous relationship then it you and them who cares, sadly it’s not always that way. I understand.
On the same hand I know many people who identify as straight and sleep with the same sex and who identify as queer and wind up in straight relationships…
Still, when looking for a partner I think wanting them to be the same sexual orientation as yourself is an absolutely normal thing.
You should change your name to “Voice of Reason”. 🙂
Aww, my friend’s bi and she has so many problems with women because of this, never with men though. It’s got to the point now where she’ll say she’s gay until a short time in so she’s not just dismissed outright.
What a great person she is huh.
Don’t be honest and upfront, no, lie instead.
How would you feel if someone you dated lied to you about their sexuality? Why not respect that some people do not want to date a bisexual person? That is a choice that should be respected. I don’t see how that is any different than people who lie about being straight and then revealing that they are gay to the person, who they in some cases married and had children with.
And I am talking about those who knew all along, not those who “discovered” one day that they like the same sex.
It’s sh*tty behavior and it’s why many don’t want to deal with it in the first place.
Be honest and say you are bisexual so the person can make their own choice, don’t lie about it.
Still, when looking for a partner I think wanting them to be the same sexual orientation as yourself is an absolutely normal thing.
Yep! I fully agree with this.
bob
Yep. It’s ridiculous how people think it’s okay to dismiss someone who they’d otherwise be attracted to just because they’re bi.
I think he is pretty cool, I liked him since the first rounds of hunger games press. He and Jennifer Lawrence were so witty and smart, which made watching Liam Hemsworth all the more painful by the way.
I’m the only person in the world who hasn’t watched Hunger Games so I’m not really familiar with him but after reading his interview and seeing these pictures, I think I love him.
So I watched 8MM again last night and in the top photo he’s giving me a Joaquin vibe. I like the photos minus the neck hair. I like the interview part, he seems intelligent and well spoken.
As for the HG threesome, I don’t like Gale enough to watch it.
Yayyyy Josh! So great to see a teen idol think like this and be open about it in the media.
I really wish we could all stop with the stuffy labels and just like whoever the hell we happen to like.
What a great interview. I love that he is not spouting the company line. I am off to think up threesomes I would like to see him in.
He’s so short! It would be rather unfair to put him in bed with most of our favorites.
Well I am not sure I want to be involved in it. But were either of us, at least we would have a place to rest our drinks.
yes Anna, but being so short just means he’ll try harder to get equal attention.
Blue Marie, you make an excellent point.
Actually, I had a mad crush on the Hutch around the time of HG1 movie press tour. Actually it was him, CHemsworth and DanRad. What a trio…
My short crushes include DanRad and Elijah Wood.
He’s trying to work in Hollywood; this is the company line. Being a liberal in an industry that is extremely liberal is not a career risk.
Yes but he is also a product that has to be sold to Middle America/Middle Earth every time his movie comes out. That’s why so many gays stay closeted for so long. That’s why so many actors of both genders play up the family man/woman image.
He’s never going to be the leading man; he’s always going to be a supporting player and nobody really cares what the political views are of the guy who is four or five people down on the credits. He’s never going to be big enough, no pun intended, to open a movie based on his name alone; he’s just not that popular.
Exactly.
I find him incredibly unattractive but I appreciate his stance on human rights.
+1 Nice fellow, zero sex appeal.
It’s the forehead. Something about it is very unflattering to me. It’s like the male equivalent of the Teresa Guidice forehead. It protrudes out. A lady boner killer.
His “views” are quite progressing and kudos to him for expressing them clearly but that isn’t the best PR move.
You can feel his disdain for Middle America.
It is so sad that you can’t have the correct opinion on anything because it isn’t a good PR move.
And why Middle America? I always thought the South was the most conservative.
I grew up in the deep South & now live in the midwest &, in my personal (emphasis on personal) experience, the midwest is a LOT more conservative. I’ve met a lot of people who here who have never met a liberal
I have family in the Midwest and they are indeed very conservative but lovely people. When I visit I’m “that liberal girl from Sin City” but I’m never ill treated.
PR move? He ALWAYS talks about how important this is to him, whether he’s promoting a movie or not.
Wow – wang shots hehe don’t know why that made me giggle like an idiot this morning. I hadn’t paid him much attention but will now – he sounds like a nice kid with a balance attitude. Very refreshing.
I really like this interview. I remember him as child actor in Zathura with KStew. KStew could learn a thing or two from him.
Ha!
“But I think defining yourself as 100% anything is kind of near-sighted and close-minded”.
Whaaat? That’s something what bi-curious straight person would say (like “I’m straight, but I can totally make out with hot girl, because, you know, I’m soooo open-minded”). I hope that he doesn’t mean that if gay person is defining as 100% gay, it is close-mindedness. Because, y’know, that’s what gay people are fighting for, right? They want people to know that’s not “gay phase” and they can’t change and choose their preferences. But maybe I’m wrong, since I’m not gay:P
I think the point is to love who your heart tells you to, rather than limiting your life based on labels. I have a gay friend who is in a heterosexual marriage because she supports and loves him in a way no one else ever has, and he loves her because of it. I have another female friend who likes a big, strong man and she’s recently found herself falling in love with a man who is transitioning from being a woman (because he is the most awesome, confident, charming guy ever) and they are happy to be together. These things do happen, and we should just love who our hearts want to, rather than conforming for conformity’s sake. So, to that end, yes, gay people should be open minded too. (And some are, as my friend proves.)
Yeah I don’t really like how he’s saying that since I would call myself 100% straight I am somehow close minded.
On a side note though he is much more attractive than Gale 🙂
I think he’s just trying to say that you fall in love with a person and not what’s in between their legs.
Yayyy, you covered it!!! Thanks 🙂 His awesome personality (besides the fact that he’s Peeta and his looks, haha) is one of the main reasons I love him so much. I’ve never heard a bad thing about him, and he’s always very nice to his fans. And I totally agree with you on the height thing! He doesn’t seem to mind at all that Jen (or anyone for that matter) towers over him. He also reminds me a bit of Michael J. Fox! Anyways, I hope he stays the way he is. His attitude about everything in general is really refreshing!
Wow! What a cool guy he is.
No, I am pretty sure I am 100% straight but thanks anyway, oh, and it doesn’t make me close minded, just as it doesn’t make YOU close minded for being 100% gay.

Since you encouraged us to google it, I share with you the wang shot (NSFW). He does have a nice package.
http://jamesishere1970.tumblr.com/post/50171055815/josh-hutcherson-nsfw-self-nude-bathroom-pic
Thank you, now I don’t have to google it 😉
I”m so over the constant bashing of middle america. Homophobes, racists, idiots, and bigots live in New York and LA too.
He looks so good with his natural hair color and not that fake-Peeta-blonde.
I’ve loved him since Bridge to Terabithia but not in a want to bone him way, since he’s too young for me but as in he’s adorable and seems like a sweet, grounded guy. I love him even more now after this interview. He’s on my list of celebs I’d like to hang out and have a drink with.
Bravo Josh ! I love him even more now! I had no idea he could look so hot! Love this shoot. I’ve never seen his nude photos…I’m feeling an Internet search coming on…3…2…1 🙂
I’m old enough to be his mother, tall enough to throw him over my shoulder, and live in the conservative Midwest. This little nugget TOTALLY does it for me…
I’m pleased he’s out there as a potential role model for my sons when they grow up. Adorable and intelligent.
Perhaps I don’t understand very well what message he wanted to express but for me he sounds “homophobic” and “heterophobic” because if you’re 100 % straight or gay you’re a bigot, a little stupid.. Sorry boy, but you can be bisexual if you want but don’t judge others people if they say they are 100% straight or gay. you’re not the open minded you think you are.
I think he just means that you should love whoever it is you love, and not let any kind of label stop you. I’m pretty sure he meant that people fall in love with other people for their personalities and not for whatever’s between their legs…
I’ll admit that he worded it pretty poorly though.
