More of Josh Hutcherson at TIFF - 'Escobar: Paradise Lost' Premiere, Jennifer Lawrence + His Last Mockingjay Scene

Josh Hutcherson walked the red carpet at the world premiere of his film Escobar: Paradise Lost at the Toronto Film Festival last night.

Photographer Jeff Vespa took a gorgeous black and white portrait of Josh at TIFF and posted it to his instagram. (He also took one of Sam Claflin HERE.) 

Josh also spoke with The Daily Observer while promoting the film and, of course, talk turned to Jennifer Lawrence and The Hunger Games films. 

“My reaction was anger, initially, and truly disappointment in society as a whole,” Hutcherson said of the nude photo hack over the Labour Day weekend, which resulted in the theft of hundreds of images from dozens of celebrities, most notably his Hunger Games co-star and friend Jennifer Lawrence. “You have a certain public recognition and whatnot. But it’s not about having your private life literally looked into and stolen from you,” he said. “Becoming an actor shouldn’t mean that you have to deal with being stalked.”

Hutcherson knows of what he speaks, thanks to the international stardom that The Hunger Games has propelled him into. He’s already wrapped shooting on Mockingjay – Part II, set to come out next November, but his final scene as Peeta had no dramatic thunder: it was a simple reshoot to get an angle that hadn’t been covered during principal photography.

“It’s me putting Katniss out when she’s on fire. It was literally a camera looking up at me, I had a blanket and I was throwing it at the camera,” he said with a laugh.

“It was definitely a bittersweet moment, but it was one of things where you finish it, and you’re like, ‘That was it. That was the last moment of all these movies.’ It really was anticlimactic!”

He was there the next night for the wrap of the movie, though. “It was not like of a big bang kind of ending. I think everyone was really sad,” he said. “We’d created something really special together for so many years, and the time to say goodbye was tough.”

And though he’s fast friends with Lawrence off set, he hasn’t talked to her yet about the photo hack. Because, appropriately enough, he respects her privacy. 

“I didn’t really want to bring it up to her, it’s a personal thing that she’s going through, and if she wants to talk to me, she’ll talk to me about it,” he said. “It’s hard. I feel horrible for it all.”
