Josh Hutcherson’s kiss with Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games was the 21-year-old star’s first lip-lock on the big screen.
The actor admitted to the 23-year-old and the rest of the world that his debut smooch in cinema was with the Oscar-winning star in the first flick from the book trilogy by Suzanne Collins.
Josh confessed the news when Jennifer revealed that he is a good actor to smooch as she’d had some negative experiences in her work before.
“I haven’t had any bad ones,” Josh told J-Law in an interview with CNN. “You’re my first real big kiss in a movie.”
The information led Jennifer to ask if she was gently and comment that she may have been slobbery.
The witty people continued to exchange banter with Josh claiming she was harsh.
“It was a little abrasive, if I’m being honest. A little shocking,” he added.
Jennifer plays Katniss Everdeen and Josh is Peeta Mellark in the second film of the series Catching Fire, out from November 22.
Kentucky-born Jennifer admits she tried to shop at the Whole Foods supermarket back home when the initial Hunger Games flick was released.
However she had to call in cops when the response to her stardom was immediate.
“Literally the day the movie was released, I had no idea I was famous yet or that anybody had seen the movie,” she said. “I don’t think actually I knew the movie came out that day,” she admitted.
“[Whole Foods] had to call the police and I had to go down the cargo elevator and I was crying. And I saw my ex-boyfriend there and he’s like, ‘How’s your life?’ And I was like, ‘Really bad.’ It was the worst.”
The actress used to avoid going out in public so she wouldn’t have to face up to her fame. However now she has learned to cope with attention, it has made her a stronger person. “Sometimes I’m nice, sometimes I’m in a bad mood,” Jennifer said.
“Like if I’m at dinner and I’m eating and somebody wants me to stand up and take a picture – that’s actually helped with my anxiety, knowing that I don’t have to say yes and I can say no. … It is hard because you don’t want to feel rude, but at the same time, I have to defend my life and my mental wellness.”
